Vet nurse experienced with animals
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a recently graduated veterinary technician. Here is a quick summary of my experience with animals: I am currently working at a small animal and exotics hospital as a veterinary technician. My job includes monitoring anesthesia, assisting in surgeries, administering medications and vaccines, and plenty more. I previously had a job as an animal care specialist at a vet clinic for almost a year. I have also volunteered at the Humane Society of West Michigan for a year, and I raised and trained a Paws with a Cause puppy. I have experience with many different breeds of dogs, from herders, to hounds, to toy breeds, and more, and therefore can handle a variety of temperaments. I also have experience with many different walking tools (step in harness, gentle leader, easy walker, martingales, etc). I am trained in pet CPR and can administer medications, including injections. While dogs are my specialty, I do have experience with a wide range of other animals as well. My love for animals started at a very young age, when I got my first pet - a rabbit named Snickers - and has continued to grow from there. Since then I have had a large variety of pets (cats, dogs, rodents, small animals, reptiles, horses, and more). As a dog parent, I understand how difficult it is to leave a dog behind, so I can provide frequent updates. Check out my pet care Instagram page, @jpcrittercare!
Reviews
Jamie was great! Since our pitbull is still a puppy and hasn't had a ton of interacting with other dogs other than our other dog we wanted to do a meet and greet with Jamie and her dog Fish. Jamie made time for us to bring both our dogs over to meet her and Fish and let them get to know each other. Once we determined that they all got along great, we booked with Jamie. She watched our pitty Apollo and our mini goldendoodle Penny for two days while we were out of town for our wedding and it definetely relieved a lot of stress for us knowing our fur babies were in good hands. She sent us pictures, stuck to our feeding routines, and was easy to contact throughout the whole process.
Jamie was very good with my boy Tux. It was my first time and she made me feel very comfortable. She sent a lot of photos that made me feel at ease! Would definitely use her for a sitter again in the future!! Thank you!
Jamie took great care of my dog when we went to Chicago overnight. She came back nice and tired. Thank you!
We had another sitter cancel an hour before our trip. Jamie was willing to take our dog last minute and did a great job! She was crazy thorough and detailed helping us feel at ease with the last minute change. During our overnight stay we got regular updates and several pictures. Would totally book Jamie again!
