Future Vet Who Truly Cares

I've been working toward becoming a veterinarian for years, starting with caring for pets in my community. I helped run the medical team at a local animal shelter as a teenager where I learned to give vaccines, care for senior animals, and comfort scared or aggressive pets and further continued that career with various organizations working at a veterinary technician in Santa Barbara, Yuma Arizona, Maui, Kauai, Palm Springs, Coachella valley, Coalinga, Visalia and Fresno. I can handle larger dogs comfortably as well as all kinds of behaviors and breeds. I have a lot of experience with being active and medically aware/trained and with that I am able to fulfill and maintain a positive healthy walk or caretaking environment with your pet. I’m passionate, patient, and always looking to learn more so I can give every animal the best care possible.

If you want someone to pamper your pet as if it were their own, then Emily is the right one to contact. She has excellent pet handling skills, and you can truly tell she loves animals, both exotic and companion.

Schedule

Pet care is a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with the medical team at a local animal shelter and emergency hospital routinely caring for pets in my community. Since I’m still in school and working toward becoming a vet, I’m most available during early mornings, weekends, or after school hours and weekends I love learning from every experience and giving animals the care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for my male husky, Meeko, and my snake at home, I focus on safety, trust, and creating a suitable environment for both. For Meeko, safety comes first.I make sure the yard is secure with a strong fence, and when walking, I keep him on a leash to avoid any accidents. Huskies are independent but friendly, so building trust through consistent training and positive reinforcement is important. I also make sure he has plenty of space to run and play, as he needs regular physical and mental exercise. As for my snake, safety is key too. I make sure her enclosure is secure and the temperature and humidity levels are just right for her species. I handle her gently and with care, allowing her to get used to me at her own pace. Trust takes time, but regular, calm handling helps. I keep her environment clean and provide hiding spots, as well as fresh water, to make sure she feels comfortable and safe. When I’m walking or caring for my pets at home, I make sure the environment is always safe and comfortable for them. It’s all about creating a space where they feel secure and loved, and where they can trust me to meet their needs.
