I have always found pets and animals to be a joy to be around. Growing up in the mountains taught me to live in harmony with animals and nature from a young age. I believe pets nurture compassion and help us see the world with greater empathy and authenticity. I have previously had a dog and took full responsibility for his care, including grooming, bathing, walking, playing and basic training. Currently, I have rescue cat friends back home, and I’ve developed a special bond with them. They each have their own personalities - some are playful, while others are a bit more introverted. I can easily recognize subtle signs of problems in cats and dogs. I easily build trust and bonds with pets and always treat them with gentleness and care. If I’m ever unsure about something, I’m proactive about doing in-depth research and seeking expert advice to provide the best possible support.
