I love nothing more than caring for animals of all species! I am a sea turtle biologist with a bachelor’s degree in biology with a focus on environmental studies from Florida Atlantic University and an emergency medicine veterinary technician. I have been a biologist for the last 10+ years. I’ve worked at a Fortune 100 company, at a government entity, as well as a well known non-profit organization. I was an emergency veterinary technician at a 24-hour emergency veterinary clinic from 2013 to 2015 and 2019 to 2021 and a sea turtle veterinary technician from 2010 to 2013. Over the years, I’ve always been the “go-to” person for family and friends who need care for the pets. All of these experiences have helped shape me to be who I am today and, I feel, have made me a great caretaker for pets as well as equipped me with the tools needed to operate my own business with high professional standards. We moved to Sarasota in late 2021 (my husband, Brad, our dog and two cats, and me) for my husband’s business in home remodeling. I decided to change things up for myself and become a full time caretaker for pets, which has been such a great adventure! I grew up with English Bulldogs most of my life and Brad and I had one as well, who blessed us with his perfection for nearly 11 years. I am well equipped to handle the more high-maintenance breeds (i.e.: bulldogs) as well as special needs, seniors, puppies, large and small pets, cats, and kittens. As a pet owner myself, I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with their well-being while away. As an emergency veterinary technician, I know the signs to look for when it comes to illness and/or injury, so you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands. I am comfortable giving oral medications as well as injectable, eye, and ear medications to your pets. Communication is key for me! Throughout my time caring for your pets, I will send you photos and update you daily. **my pricing reflects my professional and personal experience in animal care
