A little about me…
I started volunteering at Adopt-A-Pet Animal Shelter back in 1990, which was housed in Morton Grove Animal Hospital. After 2 years of volunteer work, they offered me a position on staff as a kennel attendant which included feeding, walking, bathing and grooming animals. I’ve worked a wide variety of animals and pets of all behavioral types – including feral animals. During my time at Morton Grove Animal Hospital I worked with squirrels, ducklings, chipmunks, raccoons and even wild rabbits to return them to the wild. Besides working at the animal hospital, i also have experience working in pet stores and I am a certified dog groomer.
My love for animals began early and as a child I had dogs, cats, a rabbit, lizards, lovebirds, hamsters and a guinea pig. Now my furry family consists of 2 dogs which are Catahoula Aussie rescue mix brothers, Murphy and Magoo, and Chipa, a black and white domestic short-haired cat who I found in my shed with his 2 brothers. We also have 2 African clawed frogs (my daughter brought home from school needed a home) and a bearded dragon.
I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets, and working with you so you have peace of mind while you’re away from home. I’m here to care for your home sweet home.
