Pets

I’m Vet Technician & love animals.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a vet tech for 22 years. I can board pets that require medicines, shots and etc. I have a dog and 3 cats of mine own but have plenty of room for boarding. I have 2 story house so plenty of room to board pets. I have a 6 foot fence in yard, a ponded area a few house away to wake the dogs to. I own 4 dog cages to board them in if they require cage. I decided to do this for extra money and thought who the best at it me a vet tech that loves and adores pets. I know how to deal with all temperaments of dogs and cats. I can help people out that has a pet on insulin and or Medicine.

April was very accommodating especially since Pepsi has been having an off week with an upset tummy and a toenail injury. She knew and understood how a 1 year old male large breed dog would be. She listened to my requests and information and made sure Pepsi was in good hands. Pepsi wasn’t allowed to go outside due to his injury and April made sure to listen and entertain Pepsi indoors with her children. She is a great sitter, very caring!

Due to flight issues I had to extend the stay for a day. April was kind enough to accommodate the last minute add on. Pooh was happy at pick up.
