My love of animals started at a young age when we spent summers in Virginia where we would catch fireflies in the meadows and crawfish in the creeks. We were always gentle with them and released them safely. Life has come a long way since then and I have met so many wonderful animals! 

When I have spare time I volunteer for Northern Bound Rescue here in CT and walk the dogs and sometimes even get to take them out on excursions! It has been so rewarding and I hope someday I can start my very own nonprofit to help local pets in need. I am an animal advocate and I believe the way someone treats animals shows you who that person truly is. 

I will most likely be the one to show up to serve your pets but I do have some trustworthy and caring people who lend a hand when needed.

Madi

I have always had a love for animals, I grew up in a house surrounded by fury friends. I now am old enough to have my own, and enjoy the love they bring. As I have gotten older, I have learned the many responsibilities of being a dog mom. I enjoy doing training with my dogs as much as possible, and going on fun adventures with them. I worked in a kennel for 2 years, and from there I have learned animal behavior and how to create a positive and safe atmosphere for myself and the animals being cared for. I can proudly say, with every animal I encounter, I love them like my own and intend to have a fun and loving time creating a strong bond with them. When I’m not with my four legged children, I enjoy traveling and being around family and friends.

Amber

My name is Amber. I've always had a passion for working with animals starting from a young age. At 18, I worked at a dog daycare and boarding and that's where I found that I wanted to make a career out of working with animals. I am currently working toward being a certified Veterinary Technician, and currently work at an Animal ER where I get to handle not only dogs and cats, but many exotics, even some you don't see everyday!

In my free time I enjoy going out into nature, whether it's alone or with a furry friend! I also love to collect things like moths and crystals.

I enjoy working on training animals and learning more about animal behavior, as I find every animal you come across will have a vastly different personality than the other, and I find that it's important to be able to understand each animal to give them the best care possible.

Lyndsey

My name is Lyndsey. I am a mother, friend & fun photographer! I recently found a love for photography when I found enjoyment in hiking; exploring the beautiful outdoors and capturing the moments I was living. Not only alone but with my son, making memories together to look back on.

I have always loved tagging along for drop in visits to meet all the friendly pets. Finally, I decided to bring my camera along. Who knew your pets would be my most enthusiastic clients! I appreciate every pet I put in front of my camera for the smiles they bring to me and hopefully to you, their owner. 

Don’t be surprised to see your pet having the time of their lives, wearing different accessories and just living their best life! I am excited to have the opportunity to meet all of your pets and get them to SIT, BE A GOOD BOY OR GIRL & SAY TREATS! My photography page can be found on Facebook, Lynz_photgraphy92.

Hi my name is Kareena! Working with furry friends is the most rewarding job! The dedication, and genuine love for our four-legged friends extends to every interaction with me. I have a deep understanding of animal care and I share a commitment to their well-being. I strive to create a positive and enriching experience for both animals and their owners. Whether it's providing care, practicing commands, or simply showering them with affection, my goal is to foster strong bonds and happy tails wherever I go.
