Dedicated animal care professional with extensive experience in pet handling.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate animal care professional with a strong background in managing the health and well-being of pets. Currently, I work as a Kennel Technician at Saving Hope Animal Rescue, where I closely monitor puppies for signs of illness and assist with their medical needs. My experience includes administering medications, sanitizing kennels, and ensuring a safe environment for animals.
Previously, I served as a Reliable Pet Handler at The Farm at Natchez Trace, where I managed pet boarding programs and provided attentive care for sick and special needs dogs. My commitment to animal welfare is complemented by my educational background, including an Advanced Diploma from Hillsong College, which has equipped me with essential skills in animal behavior and communication.
