Certified Kennel Technician
Pet care experience
Hi! I am an experienced, certified, and passionate animal-lover who wants nothing more than to give the best of care to your furry family member. I spent five years working in a kennel/pet boarding facility and nine years as an equestrian working at a farm caring for animals of all kinds, and am a Cal Poly graduate. I’m currently a graduate student earning my Master’s in Psychology. As for a summary of my skills and services offered, I can administer medication, provide basic first aid, take your pet for walks/runs/adventures, or simply keep them company in the comfort of their own home (note: whatever we are doing, I can guarantee you will be sent many photos!) I love the outdoors, which is probably why dogs and I have always gotten along. I understand that pet care can get extremely pricey, so I try to be as fair as I can with my rates. I understand that COVID has put many of us in situations of extreme financial hardship. If you are someone experiencing this, don’t be afraid to talk to me! I’m sure we can work something out. I am looking forward to meeting you!
Reviews
We found our dog Russell in very good condition and spirits upon our return. He was well cared for and that’s the most important thing. Lane is a nice person and we would love to give her 5 stars. However, there were a couple areas where she did not quite follow the house rules, as evidenced on our Ring doorbell camera (we disclosed the camera when we interviewed her). She had a guest there continuously for almost 3 days, but we had only authorized her request for an evening meal with her partner. And on the day before we flew home, she left Russell alone for 10 hours (5:30pm to 3:30am) which meant that our poor guy had no chance to go outside to relieve himself. That’s too long, especially since he drinks a lot after his evening meal. Consequently, we found multiple urine spots on the dining room rug. Other than that, the house was in very good condition.
Was great with bailey given the weight to weight comparison.
