Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional Vet Tech Pet Care
I have over 2 years of hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician in a busy veterinary hospital. I work with dogs and cats of all different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities every day. My experience includes caring for senior pets, puppies and kittens, nervous or anxious pets, and animals that may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health, assisting with post-operative care, and recognizing when something doesn’t seem right. Through my work, I’ve gained extensive experience with safe animal handling, feeding, walking, basic grooming needs, and keeping pets comfortable in unfamiliar or stressful situations. I’m also currently continuing my education in veterinary technology. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while treating every pet as an individual.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With over two years of hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs. I understand animal body language and always take a calm, patient approach, especially with nervous or shy pets. I’m experienced with safe handling, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behavior or health that may need attention. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home and caring for a member of your family. I will always respect your home, follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions closely, and keep you updated so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Hayden did a great job checking in on my dogs while I was away! He kept me updated, made sure they had everything they needed, and even handled their medications with no problem. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were being well taken care of. I’d definitely book with him again!
Hayden has taken care of my three dogs and cat several times, and I’ve always felt completely comfortable leaving them with him. He always makes sure everyone is fed, cared for, and gets the attention they need. One thing I really appreciate is that he takes the time to check on each of them individually rather than just doing the basics. He is even really well equipped to handle my dog who has diabetes and requires specific timely medications. I know I can trust Hayden to treat my pets like his own, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet caregiver.
I wholeheartedly recommend Hayden as a pet caregiver. Hayden has a genuine love and compassion for animals and understands that caring for a pet is about much more than simply providing food and basic necessities. Hayden is patient, attentive, gentle, and responsible, and treats every animal with the same kindness and respect they would want for their own pets. I trust Hayden to notice the little things like when a pet needs extra attention, reassurance, playtime, or simply someone to make them feel safe and loved. Any pet in Hayden’s care would be treated as more than just an animal being watched; they would be cared for as a cherished member of the family.
Hayden is someone I completely trust with my pets. His experience working as a veterinary technician gives me extra peace of mind knowing my pets are with someone who is knowledgeable, attentive, and comfortable handling animals. He is patient, dependable, and genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. He pays attention to their individual needs and treats them like they’re his own. I would absolutely recommend Hayden to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and experienced to care for their pets.

- Please let me know about your pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, medical conditions, allergies, and any behavioral concerns. I’d also like to know how they do with new people and other animals. As a veterinary technician, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of needs, but the more I know beforehand, the better I can care for them.
