I have had a deep love for animals all my life. As a child a dreamed of becoming a Veterinarian as an adult, however life had other plans for me. At 19 I began working in the veterinary field as a kennel attendant and moving up the ranks to technician, head receptionist and assistant manager by the time I was 21. I was living on Long Island and felt at home working with animals. In 2011 I began pet sitting for hospital clients, watching their cats and dogs both in my home and theirs. These pets have become part of my family, I have cried with clients who have lost their fur babies as well as rejoiced with them when they recover. I moved to PA in 2015 and began to focus on my career, working in the hospital. My life had once again changed course and I met my husband in PA. He has been self-employed most of his life. His family owns a wood shop in Schaefferstown, taking the business over in 2007 from his father. It became part of my life as well leading to me leaving my time in the animal hospitals to assist him with the paperwork end of the business in 2018. Since then I had done missed the rewarding feeling of being with animals that are not my own daily. After discussing options and possibilities of going back to work we decided that the best use of my time would be to pet sit again. This allows me to serve the public again while keeping me home to help work his business. Our home consists of both my husband and I with our four pups and two cats. Sophie Rae is a 4-year-old long hair dachshund. Callie Belle is a 1.5-year-old malti-poo, Paisley Noel and Evie Starr are 5-month-old morkies. Atticus is our largest cat he is a DSH about 5 years old and Zeus is a DSH about 5 years old, he is the smallest fur kid in our home. We own our cape cod style home in Lebanon that sits on .22 acres. We have portioned off part of our property to allot for a pet area, divided into 2 sections, to avoid any kind of scuffle between pets during potty and play time. I have 15 years’ experience treating pets in a veterinary setting. I am comfortable medicating injectables, orally (mouth) pills or liquid, ocular (eyes) drop or ointment, & aural (ears) flush, drops, or ointments. I have direct access to Veterinarians at Manheim Pike Veterinary Hospital in Lancaster PA. I am comfortable reaching out to a clients personal Veterinarian to create a working relationship with them in the event of any unforeseen incident that may occur while your pet is under our care. Our goal is to create long lasting, loving relationships with our clients and their pets. We hope to provide a service to our community and our service men and woman. We know that being away from your pets is always a difficult decision as to who you trust with the care and wellbeing. It is our desire to keep your pet’s routine a normal as possible while in our care, loving them as if they were our own.
