Friendly Veterinary Technician
Pet care experience
Now offering: Pet Taxi Service! Whether your pet needs to go to the groomer, daycare, or anywhere else, rest assured they will get there in air-conditioned comfort! Offering a private car service for one-time or repeat clients, at a competitive rate of $25 + $1 per mile over 5. In addition to being an animal lover, I have also been a veterinary technician for the past 5 years, and a veterinary assistant long before that. I have extensive medical training and am great with pets of all shapes and sizes - if you have a cat or an exotic animal, I am also happy to care for them! In addition, I do nail trims, ear cleaning, bathing, summer shaving, rehabilitation exercises and medication administration. I can also give you recommendations for your pets' health (although you should still see a veterinarian if there are any medical issues, or 1-2 times a year for a regular check up). I am enthusiastic about giving your pets the best care out there - you will not be disappointed! Feel free to ask if there is anything else you need - I do it all!
Reviews
Great job!
This is the 3rd time Emily has stayed w/ Dixie. We never worry when we are away, and it's great!
This is the second time we've had Emily stay with Dixie for a weekend while we're away. Great as always!
We booked Emily to care for our pit mix (whose back legs are paralyzed) while we were on vacation. Unfortunately there was a death in the family, so we had to cancel our vacation. Emily was awesomely flexible in moving dates around so we could take care of things in Chicago. She even bought canned food, since our dog decided that was the only thing she was going to eat. We will definitely work with her again. Highly recommended!

Skills
Information Emily A. would like to know about your pet
I always like to meet your dog with you present before coming to stay with him or her. This is because every dog is different, some are shy with strangers and some more outgoing, and I want them to be comfortable with me and feel secure so that we can have a good relationship! Especially if you are looking for medication administration, nail trims, or other services, it is important that I establish trust with your pet before performing these services.
A typical day
Depending on your area, I love to find the closest park or green space and take dogs there! There are so many wonderful green spaces in and around Austin. If you have a high energy little buddy and are looking for a more exhaustive option for them, I am also happy to do hikes and longer walks! When we are at home, I enjoy playing fetch, tug of war, hide and seek, and of course cuddling - each dog is unique and likes something different!
