About our guest:
It started when my dad decided to get my family a puppy! In 2003, we adopted a mini Shih Tzu and she quickly became the highlight of our family. From there, I grew a huge love for animals!
Back in 2013, I got a phone call asking if I could help out a family friend with her multiple pets for two weeks. After meeting me, the owner's took a leap of faith to travel around the world and leave me with their pets. Once they got home, they couldn't have been happier! Shortly after, I decided to take my love for animals and turn it into a business.
Being around animals is the highlight of my day!
