There is so much to say about James but not enough space. You can always trust him to show your pet who loves them when you’re not around. Working with James I was able to see first hand what it takes to be an advocate for animals whether it was in a stressful situation to showing a pet how to trust a human companion. He exemplifies the definition of an animal lover. He always had a way to calm a pet down with his nurturing tone and demeanor and I knew I could always trust him around all and any pets that came into our hospital. Having him take care of your pet would mean welcoming a new member to the family. He’s dedicated, resourceful, eager, and initiative. You will not be disappointed.

Jim Reaza worked with me as a veterinary assistant for close to two years. His role involved client communication and education which he excelled in. He also exhibited innate skills with handling anxious and potentially aggressive patients with a quiet calm and ability to read a pet's emotions through body language, creating a safe environment for us when working with a pet. The patients learned to trust him, would be happy to see him greet them, and there wasn't a pet parent that did not express their disappointment when he decided to move out of the area (and the thank you cards and gifts followed!). He was reliable and showed up to work - rarely called out and only when absolutely had to. His experience in the ER department in this practice has taught him basic triage skills which are vital when caring for a pet (seeing when medical intervention is indicated and what is emergent). I sincerely hope he continues his training for a Registered Veterinary Technician because he would be such an assess to the profession. In the meantime, putting his experience towards private pet care will be a bonus for the families that hire him.
