I've taken care of dogs and house sat for many families since I was 14. I have taken courses to become a certified vet tech but I had a baby and life changed. I have worked in a vets office as a receptionist as well. We did much more than answering phones and making appointments. I would try and spend as much time as I could with the dogs we boarded there. I know how to cut and buffer nails and I love to bathe dogs! I can't cut I don't trust myself with a pair of sisssors! I can administer vaccinations and give medication oraly without harming the dog.
