Hi! My name is Carine, and I'm an NCSU alumna with over 9 years of professional experience working with dogs. I spent 2 years as a kennel technician before becoming a veterinary technician, a role I've held for the past 7 years. I've also volunteered with the SPCA of Wake County and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to my veterinary experience, I've been privately pet sitting for the past 5–6 years and have built lasting relationships with many repeat clients. I've cared for dogs, cats, and other pets with a wide range of temperaments, routines, and medical needs, and I understand how important it is to provide dependable, compassionate care while owners are away. I love spending time with dogs and have plenty of energy for long walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with special medical needs. I can also administer medications, including oral, otic (ear), ophthalmic (eye), and injectable medications. Through my work as a veterinary technician, I have experience caring for diabetic pets, post-surgical patients, senior pets, and animals that are fearful, anxious, or require extra patience and gentle handling. As a current veterinary technician, your pet's health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether your pet needs an adventure-filled walk, extra patience and care, or someone experienced with medical needs, I'll treat them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!
