Safety, trust & environment

I can stay over night, as well as come during my lunch break if needed. I’m very paranoid about escapes, so I’m very careful when traveling through doors to ensure no escapes happen, as well as ensure doors are securely latched.

Information Heather C. would like to know about your pet

I like to meet the dog first and get to know about their personality. Being a vet tech, I am able to work with many different personalities and can read body language to know when they are not comfortable or are upset. I am not put off, or “run away” by a dog that is a nervous growler (like the kind that stand behind mom/dad and give a low growl just because they are unsure of me). These guys are usually my best friend by the time I go to bed the first night. 🙂

A typical day

I like to walk and hike, so if you wish, I’d be more than happy to take your dogs with me. I play fetch, tug of war, or whatever their favorite game is. I’m also more than happy to snuggle while watching TV, and let them sleep with me, as long as you allow. I do try to ensure that I maintain house rules with regards to things like pets on furniture, etc.

Pets taken care of by vet tech

Pet care experience

I am 47 years old. I worked as a vet tech for 20 years. I currently work from home and have a degree in Criminal Justice. I have a husband, 30 year old daughter, several cats, 1 bunny, fish, and a duck. Have also owned snakes, hamsters, and Guinea pigs in the past. I foster kittens through Tenth Life Cat Rescue, specializing in the bottle babies. I can take care of all kinds of pets and any type of special needs they may have. I can give injections, both Sub-Q and in the muscle. I can give oral meds, no matter what form (liquid, pill, powder). I don’t charge extra for medication administration or specialized care. Your fur babies will be very spoiled by me, all while maintaining your house rules!
