APPROVED VET ASSISTANT (AVA)

Pet care experience

PAMPER YOUR PET ..... I've owned different kinds of pets my whole life: Dogs, Cats, Parrots, Chinchillas, Guinea Pigs, Chameleons, Beardies, Fish, Stingrays, etc. But dogs have always been my favorite animal. I wanted to be a vet when I was younger but ended up trading on Wall Street for 27 years. After computers eliminated my job, I decided to go back to my animal-loving roots. I became the Pet Care Manager at a Petsmart in Chicago and reduced pet loss from 58% to 8%. Then, in Seattle, I passed a NAVTA-approved vet assistant program before moving to Lawrenceville, NJ. I have 25 years experience with small dogs and large - puppies and seniors - and even dogs with epilepsy. Your furry friend will get daily exercise and lots of tummy rubs ... and if you have other kinds of pets - ANY KIND! - I'll take care of them for free.

I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 13 Pygmy goats including 5 babies under 3 months and 1 llama. Jerry took the job without hesitation. Jerry not only took excellent care of all of the animals, but had to care for a bottle baby who had a bad cold. The baby needed two more shots of antibiotics after I was gone and Jerry gave those shots without a problem. He truly cares for animals and goes the extra mile to make sure they are given the best of care. I am very happy that I found him. Karen Lynch, Spanaway, WA

Jerry was fantastic! He handled my 2 Great Danes with ease and sent updates on their well being every day.It was comforting to know they were in good hands.

Jerry was absolutely wonderful with my two fur babies. He watched them over the holiday and gave them each a present. He treated ones reoccurring ear infection and made sure the picky eater actually ate her food. Jerry is wonderful and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Gerald has been taking care of my 2 year old pup everyday for the past two months while I am away at work. He is very attentive and in tune with the very active needs of a young labrador as he brings him on daily walks and visits to the park. He is sound asleep when I get home almost everyday, which never used to happen! You can tell that he is totally committed to the care of any dog in his care. He not only loves dogs but seems to understand them and what they need. I never hesitate to leave my dog with him and trust him implicitly.
