Pet care experience

Future Vet Tech Saving for School🐾

🐾 Pet Experience I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for pets since elementary school. I’ve had dogs and cats of my own, giving me years of experience with different personalities, routines, and individual needs. 🐾 Dog Sitting & Pet Care I’ve cared for other people’s dogs and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and a range of personalities and energy levels, including high-energy, timid, and low-energy dogs. I can provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and follow specific feeding schedules or routines. 🐾 Veterinary & Animal Care Experience My veterinary internship gave me experience in a professional animal-care setting and helped me develop strong communication, organization, cleanliness, teamwork, patience, and attention-to-detail skills. I’ve also provided husbandry for praying mantises used in college research, which taught me to be consistent and attentive to an animal’s specific care requirements. 🐾 Future Goals I intend to pursue a career working directly with animals and am currently working toward enrolling in a vet tech program. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

🐾 I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and able to stick to their normal routines as much as possible. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any household preferences. 🐾 I pay attention to each pet’s personality and energy level, giving them space when they need it and plenty of attention when they want it. I also keep their areas clean and make sure they have fresh food and water. 🐾 Since I have pets of my own, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving them in someone else’s care. I treat every pet with patience and the same level of care and attention I would want for my own.

I’m currently taking some time away from school while looking for permanent employment, so my schedule is fairly flexible right now. I’m generally available in the mornings and afternoons, especially between 9 AM and 5 PM. I also have pets of my own, so caring for animals is already a regular part of my daily routine. I’m happy to work around you and your pet’s usual schedule and needs.
