Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Callie, and I'm a veterinary medical student at the University of Minnesota. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart, so I tend to gravitate towards jobs that allow me to spend the most time with them. I've spent years volunteering and working at shelters, sanctuaries, clinics, doggy day cares, as well as walking neighbors' and friends' dogs. I've also completed animal care internships at Best Friends Animal Society and Farm Sanctuary and have been certified in canine CPR. I currently have two large dogs - a Lab/Shar Pei mix named Luna and a Rottweiler/Bloodhound mix named Bryce - but I am a lover of all breeds, ages, and sizes! My classes have finished for the Summer, so my schedule is very flexible!
Reviews
Going on vacation was always an issue for my family and me as we had no one to watch our dog and cat when we left for extended amounts of time; it was hard for us to trust dropping them at a boarding house for a week. We met Callie through a mutual friend as we were told she often dog sits for their family. Not only did Callie check on our pets while we were gone, but she spent numerous hours with them daily to make sure they were not too lonely. The care and attentiveness that Callie showed to our dog and cat while we were gone put us at so much ease and comfort. Our cat is almost twenty years old and is always fussy about taking his medicine. Callie was able to give him his medicine with no hassle and made sure he responded to it well after taking it. Upon returning home, our pets seemed to be more excited to see Callie than us. Her experience in the field of veterinary medicine combined with her big heart make her the perfect candidate for any family looking to get their loved ones great exercise and attentive care.
I'm always happy to have Callie watch my dog. She cares about his health and happiness as if he was her own. Callie is currently in vet school and has owned and worked with dogs all of her life. Her expertise is comforting, and I feel confident leaving my dog in her care.
Callie is very loving toward my dogs and also knowledgeable as a vet student. She has committed her life to helping pets, and it shows in her care and handling of them. She is always very attentive to my dogs, from playing with them tirelessly down to making sure their ears are clean. She treats them as if they were her own. She has had dogs her whole life and worked with them professionally, which has made her comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes. She handles my large, hyper dogs expertly, and they both love her. On top of that, it's clear she loves them too, and she loves working with them and all dogs. Callie is reliable, respectful, and devoted to animals, and I would gladly recommend her to my friends.
