Pet care experience

Animals are my passion!

I have worked/cared for animals my entire life and they are truly my biggest passion. I have been in the veterinary field for the past 5 years. I have experience caring for animals of every kind! My dream is to become a veterinarian someday so I am extremely comfortable giving medicines of any sort. I do not have equestrian experience but I am open to learning!

Safety, trust & environment

The way I gain trust with animals is observing their body language and respecting their boundaries. I never force an interaction on an animal when it is unwanted, I just give the animal time to become more comfortable with me. I am very open with communicating with my clients, giving them updates of any kind and advocating for my pets. I am very respectful of my environment and other people’s spaces.

Dean was great and made sure Ember was taken care of. He even cleaned up some messes Ember made which I appreciate a lot. Ember acted like she she already knew him and loved having him around.

I would love to know all the special quirks every pet I watch has that way I can do what makes the pet feel more comfortable. Example: if they need their food heated up a certain way and if they need to walk to a specific bush before pooping. I also would like to know their medications and why they are on them so that I can watch out for any symptoms of said illness. I would like to build bonds with your pets so please let me know small things to help build those bonds.
