Animals are my life. I love them all! I am a Biologist and Veterinary Technician. I’ve worked in Veterinary General Practice, ICU, Internal Medicine and Oncology Departments and I have a specialty in Cardiology and Rehab (PT). I’m currently offering pet services through Rover as my business and dedicated full time job. I have a Low Stress Animal Handling Certificate and I’m also working on obtaining an applied animal behavior certificate. I’m able to provide care for post surgical animals and tend to furry kids with special medical needs such as diabetes, cancer and heart issues, etc. I love all animals including reptiles. Geriatric pets are my favorite. I have ample experience in caring for non-ambulatory and special needs (deaf/blind) pets as well. I can administer oral and injectable medications and care for animals with medical devices. A little bit about me: I grew up on a farm and I have lots of experience with cattle, horses and small ruminants. I have a small family with 3 doggies and one lizard of my own. My dogs are socialized and have great manners, they all have canine good citizen training. I don't have cats but cats are so absolutely special to me. They complete me. As a pet mom myself, I know how hard it is to find trustworthy, reliable care. My main goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving the best care available. I am passionate about what I do, and I love keeping you updated with pictures and videos of your furry child. I take safety very seriously. When your pet is under my care, I take several precautions to keep everyone safe: - All pets are fed separately. - Pets are never left together unattended. - I individualize my care and approach to match each pet’s needs and personality as well as their pet parents’ preferences. I’ll follow your instructions and cross my t’s and dot my i’s. I’ll send daily updates and photos, we can FaceTime with your furry baby while you're away and I’ll be there for them as if they were my very own. I’m a BIPOC woman and I’m also an ally. I am happy to serve everyone. My pronouns are she/her. I hope we can meet and you’ll allow me to be your furry baby’s best friend. 10% of my earnings through Rover go to support the organization Veterinarians Without Borders -an NGO comprised of individuals who have served to promote animal wellbeing, human health and economic development- I am a proud volunteer at this organization as well. -HOURS AND AVAILABILITY- Drop off for doggy day care or boarding takes place between 7 and 7:30 am and 9:30 to 11 am Pick up takes place between 5 and 6 pm I keep my calendar updated and my availability will be displayed on the calendar. -DOG WALKING- (Currently away from dog walking) I walk dogs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11 am to 3 pm Please allow a range of +/- 30 minutes for me to arrive based on traffic flow.
