Local Veterinarian!

Pet care experience

Who better to take care of your furry family members than a veterinarian? In May 2020, I graduated from Iowa State University with a Bachelor's in Animal Science and Bachelor's in Biology in May 2020. The following August I started veterinary school at the University of Missouri and received my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine degree in May 2024. As for my experience, I began pet sitting and babysitting at 12 years old, volunteering at the local animal shelter at 13, and working in veterinary hospitals at 16. While in college I worked for 3 years as a veterinary assistant. My skills include administering medication, performing first aid, and attending to animals with special needs. To me, taking care of your pets is not just a side job or a hobby. I genuinely care about your animals well-being and am attentive to their individual needs. Taking care of animals is something I have been doing my whole life and I plan to build my career around this passion. I'm very flexible with scheduling and am open to helping with additional tasks if needed.

Caroline did an amazing job caring for our cat! We were on vacation for 10 days and came back to a healthy, happy kitty! We will be booking her for any future trips!

Safety, trust & environment

I believe that pets are most comfortable in their own home! For this reason, I enjoy spending time with them at your house where they feel safe. I can stay the night or drop in multiple times throughout the day.

Information Caroline T. would like to know about your pet

As someone who has spent years working in veterinary hospitals, I have experience working with every breed and every personality. Whether your animal is playful with everyone or dog-aggressive, I can work with all the quirks that come with your animal.

A typical day

I am an avid runner and love spending time outside. I enjoy taking dogs for long, leisurely walks, throwing a ball around, or just letting them burn some energy. For my feline friends, I have a calm approach that allows them to become comfortable with my presence.
