I've been wrangling dogs and cats in veterinary hospitals and shelters since 2000, and am ready to spend less time arguing with them and more time playing with them ;) While I have given more vaccines than tennis balls, I've gotten plenty of experience on the side with walking dogs, sitting cats, and doing some training/behavior modification both with clients of my own, and through shelter foster programs. Some advantages of hiring a veterinary nurse to walk your dog or stop in on your cat: 1) I can administer any kind of medication, whether it's oral or with a needle or on the skin or in the ears or eyes. 2) I can do stuff like trim nails and express anal glands. May save you a trip to the vet! 3) I'll know what do do if something happens to your pet when you're not there, such as being bitten by another dog, or having a seizure, or blowing their cruciate ligament playing fetch. I'm also great with wound care and surgical recovery. 4) I have a special affinity for cranky cats. I moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2016, still having fun exploring parks and woods with my dog (and yours!). Also I'm a good photographer and will win your favor with super cute pics of your critter. I'm available mid-day Monday through Friday, with the potential for more availability as I build clientele and can break free of the veterinary grind. I have more references than you'll want to call, and tons of poop bags.
