Summary

I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I owned a Labrador with hip dysplasia and a Jack Russell with Addison’s Disease for over a decade, which taught me how to adapt care routines to meet individual health and mobility needs, and even though theyve passed, I still take initiative to care for dogs when I can. Since June 2025, I’ve been assisting a foster home where I help with daily walking, supervision, and grooming of dogs that come in.

I have very recent experience in kennel work including cleaning procedures, feeding, and handling/rotating dogs in big yards.

Ive cared and continued to care for my cat, horses, and more exotic animals such as reptiles.

I have somewhat brief but valuable involvement in cashier and cleaning work during the months of preparation and celebration for a Marin school of arts program event, including handling cash and electronic payments and answered customers with inquiries about menu items and pricing.
