Animal Nurse, Responsible, Caring

Pet care experience

I have loved and cared for dogs and all kinds of pets my whole life including reptiles, birds, dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, rabbits and more. I love animals and made it my career! I am a registered veterinary technician (animal nurse). I am comfortable administrating any kind of medication, including injections and following any medical discharge instructions or treatments. My goal is to give owners peace of mind when they are away and I strive to give your pet the comforts they desire. I am skilled at working with all kinds of breeds, training levels and needs for dogs, cats, horses and pocket pets. I had the pleasure of being a dog-mama to a Golden Retriever, Pitbull/Boxer mix, German Shepard, Great Dane and Saint Bernard, a cat-mama to a Calico and Domestic Short Hair and a horse-mama to a Thoroughbred horse. When I drop in, I do not just drop by for a few minutes. I take pride in caring for your pets as they become a part of my family, and will receive the upmost care a veterinary nurse is able to provide. I go above and beyond to help your pets time be stress free and will always let the pet lead the relationship they want. If necessary, due to unforeseen circumstances while you’re away, I am able to adequately communicate with your veterinarian, will provide transportation to the clinic or ER hospital, and can can act as a pet triage nurse. I keep a detailed record of what happened each day and will always provide a rover card. You will know every detail that happened during my visit with your pet and any slight changes to their behavior or routines that’s observed. ALL INCLUSIVE for pet: • Loves, cuddles, pets (whatever your pet needs in that moment) • Clean water and food dish daily • Litterbox cleaned at each visit • Dog poop cleaned up in yard (and of course any accidents) • Daily report card detailing behavior and activities • Veterinary nurse care at home, and communication with your veterinarian if needed • Medicine administration (additional charge) • Walks • Any additional tasks your pet may need For the home: • Mail retrieval • Garbage set out on necessary days • Maintain cleanliness of home • Plants watered/ tended to • Any additional tasks agreed upon I am uniquely qualified to care for your pets’ specific medical conditions if present. I am responsible, hardworking and trustworthy. I really do treat all pets like my own, knowing they are people's best friends.

I love to engage both your dogs’ brains and bodies, playing activities that they love and exploring their neighborhoods. Dogs love to get an idea of what’s around their house and the smells they are frequently exposed to. I love finding local parks and areas that your pets enjoy walking too. I also feel it is important that every dog enjoys each walk, and it’s not simply for physical activity. Are they big sniffers who like moving at their own pace? That is perfectly normal and fine with me. Are they dogs that like to be on the move and go, go go? That’s great too! I am very adaptable to each specific dog’s needs. For cats, I know the world is their throne and some days they feel like having visitors and other days they are not in the mood. I am especially comfortable with shy cats and will give them the time and space they need to build a relationship. If your kitty wants to be cuddled up and in my lap, I can provide that too. It’s really up to your kitty what they want. The world is there’s and I’m here to assist.

Information Alex T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any specifics about your pet: their favorite toys, treats, etc. and especially any medical conditions I should be aware of. I would love to know if they have a favorite park to walk at or activity they love doing. Any information you feel is necessary to know, I would love to know. No detail is too small! Giving injections or administering medication will be an additional $5.00 - $10.00 per pet depending on the medication and care needed.

Currently, I am booked from about 9am to 11am Monday-Friday; however I can usually accommodate sitting needs in which a pet needs 1-3 check ins a day, going early in the morning, afternoon and evening. I often don’t work between 5-7pm (Occasionally exceptions can be made especially if it’s for long term care or extending sitting needs) During weekday “working hours” from 9am to 5pm, I do plan to have my toddler in her stroller with me for walks and am comfortable and confident doing even with giant breed dogs that pull. If this does not work for you that’s perfectly fine and I hope you can find a sitter that better suits your needs!
