Fun and caring Vet Assistant
Pet care experience
I have experience in taking care of dogs and cats since I was 8 years old, including animals that are not my own. I have basic dog training skills along with emergency vet medicine skills from working at a Veterinary ER. I have worked with all ages of dogs and cats in sick and in health. I also can provide basic grooming services, bathing, trims, teeth brushing, and nail trimming. I have experience and training with fractious and aggressive animals and know how handle them safely do no one gets hurt.
About Andie P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always approach an animal calmly and patiently allowing them to come to terms with me being in their space. I base the time I walk a dog on owners request and the animals tolerance. If the dog looks in distress after 20 minutes I’ll turn back and head home, occasionally stopping so they can catch their breath or be carried if small. If I’m just stopping in to let a dog out I make sure to have them on leash as is state law until entering a fenced area. If requested by the owner or the dog is interested I’ll play with the animal to get in exercise before they have to go inside. The animals well being is my first priority and what I focus on when caring for them.
Information Andie P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or medications I can account for and what they enjoy. I want to make sure my time with them causes little to no stress and that they are as happy as can be.
A typical day
I believe it’s really important to keep a dog happy and engaged. For some dogs that’s as simple as pets and belly rubs for other dogs who have more energy they need walks or a game of tug of war or throwing a ball around. I love learning the specific needs of each dog because I want to make sure their as happy as can be.
