Animal Care Specialist and Lover!

Pet care experience

3 plus years animal care experience with all kinds of animal from reptiles to horses and birds of prey. Veterinary Assistant and can administer medication for pets with medical needs. I myself own a special needs rabbit who requires eye care daily. I also know how to give insulin and sub-q fluids for pets that need it. I personally own 2 cats, a dog, a lizard and a rabbit. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds! I use positive reinforcement training only! My schedule varies but I am most available during September- November and January-March for early morning or afternoon. This is due to my work as an Animal Care Specialist at Busch Gardens and my other Part time job. My schedule varies feel free to ask and I can see what works best for your pooch! I will hopefully open for boarding in the future for cat friendly canines~ Currently I work as an animal care specialist but i hope to get my Vet Tech license in the near future.

Emily went above and beyond her responsibilities. She genuinely cared for Moses and did everything I requested with love and compassion. Since she works with animals, she is extremely knowledgeable in terms of providing the best care Moses. I will only used Emily from now on. She is truly someone you can trust.

I have a special needs senior dog and Emily was great with her! I felt very confident that she could handle any problems that might come up.
