Veterinary Student home for summer!

Pet care experience

Hey guys, I am back in Michigan for the summer after finishing up my first year of Veterinary School in Dublin, Ireland. This is going to be my last summer off of school so I though I would spend my time doing more of what I love — taking care of pups! I have years of experience working with animals, dating back to high school when I found my passion for vet med working in an animal shelter. Since then I worked as a Vet Technician in a small animal (dog/cat) clinic in Ann Arbor while I finished up at University of Michigan, then at a different small/exotic animal clinic for a year out in Colorado before I moved over to Ireland. I have extensive experience on dairy/beef and sheep farms as well so I am open to hobby farm sitting if anyone is in need! I am very flexible this summer, I will be available just about full time to run around the metro Detroit area to help people out with their animals. Let me know if you want to set up a time to meet for a coffee or a chat if you are interested in getting to know me better before we work out an arrangement that works for us and your fur babies. Cheers! Alex

Alexandra was the best very caring. If she had any concerns she was happy to contact us whilst we were away. she moved in for the week and took great care of our dog Ted . Having some veterinarian back ground put our mind at ease. As he can get poorly from time to time . I left lots info about Ted and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. she was happy to cater for all is needs . she sent pictures every day and left us with update in a daily diary, which is great to come home, to see what they had been up to. She really did go out of her way she bathed him and even did his annual glands. She also took good care of our home and left it spotless and washed her bedding and towels which I didn't expect. I also came home to a welcome home handmade card with a drawing of Ted on it was Amazing. My only complaint is Alex is going back to Vet school back in Ireland. Were going to miss her so much . If you looking for a sitter in the next month or two look no further Alex is amazing !! Thank so much Alex we couldn't of asked for a better sitter xx

Alexandra watched my dog while I was gone for a week in Florida. Little Yogi fell in love with her and she made him feel very comfortable all week. I came home to one happy little pup!

Alex is a natural friend of all animals. My wife and have left our small farm in her capable hands many times. We keep a small "pack" of dogs, among sheep, pigs, poultry... you name it. Trustworthy and caring she is!
