RVT (vet tech) to watch your pet

Pet care experience

I am a Registered Veterinary Technician. I have an associate's degree in veterinary technology. I grew up with dogs and cats. I work Monday through Friday as an RVT at a veterinary hospital. Weekend's I am free to stay and be with your puppies and kitties. I can provide emergency care for your dog or cat. I like to bring dogs to the beach and play frisbee or catch with them. I worked at a dog and cat boarding place for 4 years. I know how to socialize and train dogs. I am a private person and will respect your home. I have house/dog sat for many people and have been welcome back when they need me again. I am a dog person and love dog people!

Ellen took great care of our dog and home. She went above and beyond, changing and washing our sheets so we could go straight to bed after a late night arrival.

Ellen is super nice & did a great job taking care of Beau & our kitties while we were away for the weekend. We will definitely use her again!

Ellen has been our pet sitter for our coton, Otto for several years. He just LOVES her! She usually stays over at the house. She sends me texts and pictures of Otto and she keeps the place clean. She is a vet tech and has lots of experience with dogs and cats. She has given Otto pills and been successful when I have not been so. I fully recommend Ellen for any type of pet.

Ellen Cunningham is an excellent pet sitter. She is a Registered Veterinary Technician. She has wanted to work with animals since she was a little girl. Ellen is great with our pets, pet sitting, giving them loving attention and treating minor injuries. She worked at Bed and Biscuits and learned how to care for all kinds of animals, including bathing, trimming nails etc. She loves all animals, even snakes and lizards. She is a hard worker and reliable. Anyone's pets would be in good hands with her. Mary Ellen Cunningham

I will play and cuddle with your animals at your house. I can't have any animals there I live. I can give any medications and am trained in CPR and other emergency services. I usually text daily pictures of your pets having fun or looking cute to you.

Information Ellen C. would like to know about your pet

I'm good with anything. I can handle aggressive dogs and cats. Let me know if you're animal has any problems or special needs. I like to have a medication schedule laid out in advance and any diet restrictions.

A typical day

I don't like to have my clients dogs interact with strange dogs. I don't want a fight or incident on my watch happening, but if something does happen I'm the perfect person to be there. I'll accommodate the kind of walk you normally do for your dog.
