Experienced Vet Tech
Pet care experience
I’m a licensed veterinary technician (LVT) with years of professional pet care/handling experience, as well as being a lifelong pet owner myself. I have the privilege to see lovely pets every day at work, but it brings me joy to play with, walk, and care for dogs and cats when they’re not trying to put their “brave face” on at the vet. I am more than happy to accommodate pets with special needs; in addition to feeding, walking, entertaining, and loving on your pet I am also able to administer oral, injectable, and topical medications, perform bladder expressions, perform basic first aid if needed, and recognize the signs of a medical emergency. Note: I work for a veterinary ophthalmologist and am particularly skilled at and enthusiastic about enriching the lives of blind pets, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have a blind dog or cat that requires a special approach that other sitters may not be as familiar or comfortable with.
Reviews
Hallie was great with our new addition Seti. She provided updates, pictures and video to make being away from home easier!
Hallie was great with my very particular senior dog Lucy. Very patient and communicative. I would book Hallie again and highly recommend her!
Hallie is a great communicator, responsible, caring, and thorough! We have a Shih Tzu with no eyes and a senior Chihuahua and she was so patient and kind!
Hallie went above and beyond taking care of my two dogs and house sitting over the weekend. She is detail oriented and extremely considerate and I felt I could relax on my trip over the weekend because I knew my dogs were in great hands. Highly recommend her!
About Hallie D.
Communication
Skills
Information Hallie D. would like to know about your pet
I am open to caring for all breeds of dog. Things I would like to know before I meet them: how they generally respond to meeting someone for the first time so I can interact with them appropriately, any medical conditions, any particular fears or phobias, and any other behavioral quirks that I should be aware of before meeting them.
A typical day
I love doggy adventures! With your permission, I would love to take your dog for a walk at the park, lake, just around the neighborhood, or even out on a hiking trail if they’re the really outdoorsy type. We can play fetch, tug of war, or any other games your dog enjoys. For the less active pups, lots of pets and loving will always be available — though I also recognize that some pets have a limit to interaction before they need some alone time, and I’m happy to respect that.
