VET TECH~Cats too!
Pet care experience
I am a highly skilled, compassionate, and caring retired vet tech with 19 years of experience that will treat your pet as my own. I accept hard-to-manage cases and can confidently provide a variety of medical care such as SQ fluids, injections, oral medications, and basic first aid. I am available in the mornings and afternoons weekly and require a meet n' greet prior to walking your pup or if your pet requires specific medical attention. I will do evening walks only on special occasion. I am available to do cat sits as well! I am currently offering services 6 days a week, with Wednesdays being the one day that I do not offer service. I’ve been working professionally with animals since 2001 as an emergency veterinary technician. In addition, I've volunteered with pets of the homeless and injured/orphaned wildlife since 2011 and have been professionally walking/pet sitting since 2014. Animal care has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I take great pride in my work and I look forward to providing your little furry ones the utmost care! Cheers I offer single and up to 3 dog (limit) walk around your neighbourhood or designated areas. I typically walk between 1045am-330pm, with some exceptions accepted. I avoid other people, children, bikes, other dogs, and (if I can hear them) skateboards. I do not use headphones while on walks as to better observe my surroundings.

About Diane P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whilst I do not offer in-home care, I do on very rare occasions stay at clients homes (or more commonly offer 3 visits/daily if I'm unable to accommodate overnights). I strictly adhere to owners house rules and regiments.
Information Diane P. would like to know about your pet
As stated before, I will inquire of medical and behavioural history to better adapt my approach to your pets care. I will follow all instructions and follow up with comprehensive communication for all sits/walks. I will shower them with love and cuddles (if they are cool with it ?) and update with expediency should any problems arise in the event of an emergency.
A typical day
I do require a meet prior to walking dogs and will take extensive notes about the preferences and history. I do not use headphones while on walks as to better observe my surroundings. I will adhere to all instructions I am given as to training and will always keep the handle of the leash around my wrist (something I learned from walking sick patients in emergency medicine) to help avoid a potential escape.

This has, happily, been my full-time job since officially retiring in 2018 from the veterinary industry (specialty focused on emergency and critical care) after almost 20 years.
