Easy Going Personable Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I worked in Veterinary medicine for 7 years. I started as an assistant and by my 5th year I was drawing bloods, shooting x-rays, and monitoring animals while under anesthesia. I worked with boarded animals newbies and regulars for many years. I love working with animals but i don't love the corporate side of veterinary medicine, plain and simple. I've worked with all different types of animals and I'm a lover of all breeds but especially the big guys, giant breeds are my personal favorite. I love veterinary medicine and have no problem giving advice or any type of help someone might need with an animal that has special circumstances or special needs on a day to day basis. I have 6 animals of my own, all rescues and will treat your animals with the same love i treat my own with.

Emilio is great with my animals. He's taken care of my pets in the past, even my cat, and she can be pretty ornery. He's ensured that she was fed and received her medicine on time when I couldn't. He also takes the time to play with her to get her chubby butt moving! He's great with my dogs as well. One of my dogs requires medication on a daily basis. It's nice to know that I have an experienced veterinary technician checking in on him and making sure that he receives his meds as he should. All in all, I would recommend Emilio to anyone who needs pet services. He'll take care of your pets like they're his own.

Hello, my name is Caitlin. I have known Emilio for about 3 years now and I must say he is one of the most genuine, respectful, and caring individuals that I have come across. I have watched him take care and love each and every one of his 6 animals and even go above and beyond when his dogs were sick. Plenty of people I know trust him with their animals and feel compeletey comfortable with them in his care. I have watched him first handedly perform CPR on one of his dogs who was not getting enough oxygen, and as a nurse let me tell you it's definitely amazing watching it be performed on an animal. So long story short, I highly recommend Emilio and his care; your animals will be in the greatest hands because he is simply the greatest!

My name is Joan C. and I have known Emilio all his life. He is a courteous, kind, friendly young man who loves animals so much that he once climbed a very tall tree in Clove Lakes Park on a below zero New Years day to rescue a cat that was stranded high in it's branches. He is compassionate and loving toward all of his pets. He has training in everything veterinary medicine including administering meds to assisting in surgery. He worked for VCA for 6 years, was always very conscientious of his responsibilities and always went the extra mile for the clients, their pets and the hospital. Many times clients would call to make appointments for their pets and they would request him as their tech. I would highly recommend Emilio to care for and watch over your pet. They would be in good hands.
