Pre-Veterinary Student

Pet care experience

I am a pre-veterinary, fourth year student at the U of A! I have had both dogs and cats my entire life and have taken numerous classes regarding the health and behavior of both companion and livestock animals. I also have extensive veterinary clinic experience working alongside the veterinarians during check-ups and surgeries alike! Animals of all kinds are my passion and I aim to provide the best possible care for every pup I can work with! Precise experience includes: -12 years with small and large dog breeds (terriers and retrievers) -2 years fostering local animals out of HSO -1 year under Dr. Henely at ASF -1 month working with Chimpanzees in Tanzania as a part of abroad study -1 month working with snakes and civets in Thailand as a part of abroad study

Erika was awesome! She made my cautious pup feel right at home and sent me updates throughout the day so I never had to worry! I will definitely use her again. She is truly an animal lover!!

Erika is a fine dedicated young lady whom I would trust to anything I needed. She is trustworthy, responsible and committed to any task she agrees to do.
