What’s your favorite thing about working with dogs?
My favorite part of working with dogs is when you bond with a dog it’s an unbreakable bond and you go to work just to be with your best friends!
What’s your favorite part of your job?
It’s hard to pick just one! But I would probably say when you get to be in a group or with a private play dog and you have that one dog that’s just not sure at first and when they come out of their shell it’s the best feeling of trust and love!
How many years of experience do you have working with dogs (and how many of those are at Barkefellers)?
This month will be 3 years all at Barkefellers!
What are you most looking forward to this year?
I’m mostly looking forward to the new year and going on more trips and pursuing my photography hobby!
Do you have any pets of your own?
I have 3 dogs (Maveric, Maizie, and Maya) and a cat (Sassy)! Oh and a leopard gecko named cheddar cheese biscuit!
What hobbies do you have outside of work?
I enjoy taking photos and reading books!
What is the most exciting thing on your bucket list?
Go on a cruise to the Bahamas!
What do you listen to while in your car?
I have a very eclectic taste in music so it just depends on the day!
