Certified Veterinary Technician

Hi there! Thank you so much for stopping by my profile! My name is Alexa and it’s wonderful to connect with you 🩷 Here’s just a little bit about me! I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician with 9 years of experience in small animal emergency and specialty medicine, equine medicine, and exotic animal care. Caring for animals isn’t just my profession—it’s truly my passion! 🐾 I absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, and give them the love and care you’re looking for when you’re out of town or just away from home 😊 When I’m not at work, I’m taking care of my own little zoo and showing my two horses! I currently have 3 horses (1 is retired, my sweet elderly boy💙), 2 goats, 1 duck, 1 dog, 4 cats, 1 bird, 2 snakes, and a few fish, so I’m comfortable caring for just about any furry, feathery, fuzzy, or scaly family member. From dogs and cats to horses, reptiles, birds, and small animals, I’ve got you covered!🐴🐶🐱🐍🦆🐠 Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, long walks, enrichment, cuddles on the couch, or simply someone to stick to their normal routine, I’m happy to tailor my care to fit their individual needs! I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, anxious or reactive pets, and pets with special medical needs. I know every animal is different, and I pride myself and my work on being patient, calm, and compassionate with each one. 💗 As a veterinary professional, I’m Pet CPR certified and comfortable administering oral medications, injections (including insulin), glucose monitoring, administering eye and ear medications, fluids, and other specialized medical care your pet may need. 🩺 If your pet has unique medical needs or a detailed treatment plan, you can feel confident they’ll be in knowledgeable and caring hands! You can also trust that I’ll care for your home with the same respect I would my own. I’m happy to bring in mail and packages, water plants, take trash bins out, adjust lights or blinds, and help keep your home looking lived in while you’re away. 🏡 I have reliable transportation, I’m dependable, punctual, and committed to excellent communication throughout every visit. 📲 You’ll receive regular updates and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and getting lots of love while you’re away. 📸 Whether you’re heading out for a weekend getaway, a long vacation, or just need someone to check in while you’re at work, my goal is to make your time away completely stress-free—for both you and your pets. 🥰 I’d be honored to care for your family, and I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing animals! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule your next trip. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathery, fuzzy, or scaly best friends! 🐾💕😊
