Pet care experience

I understand leaving your babies in good care is very important and I like to make sure that all my clients get a full experience. I love to send videos and pictures so the pet parents can see first hand how the visits are going. I love to interact with the animals not just go take care of their essential needs. I absolutely love providing entertainment, going on walks, enjoying time outside with nature, allowing pets to exercise and have fun at the same time. I believe animals need to be stimulated and shown unconditional love 💕 Past Animal Care Experience: Provided exceptional pet care services including pet walking, pet feeding, and playtime activities resulting in improved physical and mental well-being of pets. Walked pets for clients, ensuring their safety and exercise needs were met. Fed and provided fresh water to pets according to their dietary requirements Engaged in interactive playtime with pets, promoting socialization and mental stimulation Highlights: Animal behavior understanding Pet first aid and CPR Basic grooming techniques Medication administration Great Communication Time management Animal Care Volunteering Facilities I have volunteered and gain animal care experience at McKamey Animal Shelter, Chattanooga Zoo, Camp Wilderness Wildlife Center, Opie Acres Wildlife Sanctuary, Apprenticed at For Fox Sake Wildlife Rescue, Crystals Critter Care and Rescue, and Run N Wild Wildlife Rescue.

Thank you Erica for being here every time and for sending the follow-up notes. I know "the team" were a couple of brats and did not come out to play - that was their loss :-( Thank you for you consistency and your attention to details. You are the best!!

I can't say enough good about Erika P. She came twice (without pay) to visit and learn exactly what I wanted her to do for my cat Sylvester. Then each day while I was away she came to the house, fed my boy, cleaned his litter box, and spent time playing with him. She sent me pictures and videos to prove everything. Due to TSA and weather related issues, my return flights were cancelled - twice! - but Erika continued to come to care for Sylvester. When she came the last time after I arrived home to return my house key, Sylvester went running right up to her for lovings. He really likes her and that makes me feel secure in having her here.
