Pet care experience

I have vet clinic experience!

I've been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember, with a special love for large breed dogs and caring for orphaned or vulnerable animals. I currently have a Rottweiler and two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of providing pets with safe, loving, and reliable care. My professional experience began as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic, where I worked for over a year caring for dogs and cats, monitoring their health and behavior, administering medications as directed, and maintaining a clean, low-stress environment. I later had the opportunity to train as a professional dog groomer, and I quickly fell in love with the craft. I've now been grooming for over two years and currently work part-time as a groomer in a veterinary clinic. Working in a veterinary setting has given me experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your pet is energetic, senior, shy, or requires extra patience, I'll care for them as if they were my own. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have hands-on experience caring for a variety of exotic and outdoor animals. Over the years, I've personally owned and cared for fish, birds, mice, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and pigs. If your family includes exotic pets, backyard animals, or small livestock, I'd be happy to discuss their specific care needs to see if I'm a good fit. I also have experience caring for orphaned neonatal animals, including tube feeding and providing around-the-clock supportive care when needed. If you're currently fostering orphaned babies or have special care requirements, feel free to reach out so we can discuss how I can help. My goal is always to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I strive to provide care that goes above and beyond simply meeting their basic needs. whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I'll take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. because I work in the animal field, I'm familiar with recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall health that could indicate something isn't right. while I'm not a veterinarian, I know what warning signs to watch for and will contact you immediately if I notice anything concerning. if an emergency arises, I'll remain calm, follow your instructions, and seek veterinary care if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, compassion, and close attention to their individual needs. my goal is for you to feel completely confident that your beloved companion is in caring, capable hands while you're away.

before our first visit, I'd love to learn as much as I can about your pet! please let me know about their personality, daily routine, favorite activities, fears, medical needs, medications, allergies, training cues, or any behaviors or quirks I should be aware of. no two pets are alike, and I believe the best care is personalized care. the more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away.
