Vet med and Training experienced
Pet care experience
Since hearing about my veterinary background, I have been dog-sitting for family members and friends. I also have a background in dog training, but specifically service dog training. My experience is not only in petsitting and walking but also in veterinary medicine as well. I had previously volunteered at a local cat rescue as a veterinary assistant. I administered medications, vaccines, etc. I know proper restraint and am able to work with feral/scared cats. I performed many medical necessities on cats at this rescue for roughly 5 months. After I completed my volunteering at the cat rescue I had taken an externship at a veterinary dental clinic. At this clinic I observed surgeries, blood draws, vaccinations, etc. I was able to help with restraint, blood draws, and many other things around the clinic as well. I was at this externship for roughly 3 months, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Currently, I am actively searching for more ways I can spend time with companions to help further my career in veterinary medicine, along with my own enjoyment.
Reviews
Thanks for the sitting Faith. Appreciate you staying with all the beasts during the full duration. The four of them can be difficult and messy since they are all getting up there in years , but I came back to happy animals and a clean home. Will definitely rebook, when needed, in the future. Thank you!
Thanks again for taking care of thrasher! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
Did a great job taking care of thrasher, will defiantly have him watched again.
Faith did a fantastic job of fulfilling the needs of our 6 month old. She made herself available at all hours keeping him entertained. If Toby could speak he would tell us he had a great weekend and made a new friend.

I will follow any instructions that are left for me regarding your pet. I enjoy providing enrichment and fun activities for a dog/cat. I also enjoy teaching tricks and commands to eager pets willing to learn, I offer my force-free training background to dogs in my care. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and allowing them to sniff and be curious (this mental stimulation actually tires them out quicker as well). I have previously trained a service dog, and am currently managing fear reactivity with my own dog. I am well versed in these areas and am willing to accommodate your dog if they have any limitations regarding people and other dogs during walks. I also enjoy bringing my own dog with me to help babysit other dogs. However, I only bring my dog with me if I am given permission. I require meet and greets before I take bookings! :) If you are satisfied with my service I appreciate reviews!
Information Faith P. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your dog has any behavioral issues such as reactivity, food aggression, resource guarding, etc. This is for my own safety as well as the dog’s. I also use such information so that I know your dogs boundaries because I want them to be comfortable with me.
A typical day
I will provide your dog with enrichment to entertain them as well as tire them out! I can take them on walks, play training games with them, or just play with them!

Availability
I am currently a full time university student. I am able to stop in and check on your animals, or stay the night after my classes. If these do not work for you I can always try and rearrange my schedule so that I can work with your pet's needs.
