Vet tech - exotics/cats/dogs

Pet care experience

I am comfortable caring for exotics (rabbits, reptiles, fish, birds, small mammals), cats and dogs. I grew up working in veterinary clinics and dog/cat daycares. I pursued a diploma as a Veterinary Technician in 2020 and became registered through the SVMA in 2022. I am currently pet sitting as a side hustle. What can I say, I love animals! I am an advocate for the human-animal bond and love to hear about your little buddies and the important role you play in each others lives. - I am small animal CPR certified (cats and dogs). - I am certified in Fear Free for both felines and canines. - I can identify emergencies and respond appropriately. - I have experience with exotic animals.

A wonderful young woman that cares dearly about animals! Ava is a kind, generous and caring individual and she shows it through her love for animals. Ava is great with dogs and can handle the biggest dogs that will try to run on her. She is very good at keeping dogs calm and knowing how to handle them.

Ava is an excellent dog sitter. She has extensive experience working in a large kennel with both small and large breeds of dogs. She has an ability to predict a dog's behaviour, identifies times when a dog is stressed and not coping, and seeks to build situations in which a dog is comfortable, relaxed, and secure in their environment. She has experience in administering medications and also completed her pet first aid. I also know that she has dealt with emergency situations such as dogs having seizures. She is calm and competent in these types of situations. Plus, my dog loves Ava!! I always feel that he is in excellent hands when he is with her. Also, my dog can be leash reactive. Ava has helped him to become less scared and more relaxed on his walks because she recognizes his needs and situations that may cause him stress. I highly recommend Ava!

Safety, trust & environment

It is my upmost goal to create and maintain a safe environment for pets. I understand the patience needed to create new bonds. I am Fear Free Certified and use these techniques, such as enrichment and positive reinforcement, to create trusting bonds with your precious pets! I send photos every visit, so that you have piece of mind. I can identify emergencies and alert you so that we can respond in the best way for your animal.

Information Ava K. would like to know about your pet

What quirks does your pet have? Are there any training I should be aware of and continue to follow? How would you like me to respond in the case of an injury/emergency? What is their favourite thing?

A typical day

I include enrichment in my care as it is very important for an animals mind and health. This includes things such as new smells, snuffles mats and treat puzzles. More toy orientated? Do not worry! I will find ways to engage play and leave a tired and happy animal! Let me know about any special routes or favorite spots along walks.
