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.

Diane was by far the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! She really went above and beyond and did things I didn’t even ask. My cats have some medical issues and I felt confident that they were ok the whole time I was gone thanks to her!

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.
