Zoo Keeper who loves animals

Pet care experience

I am a Zoo Keeper with 24 years experience. I have worked with a variety of animals from domestics to exotics. My days off are Thursdays and Fridays,in which I can be available all hours, but I can do early and late times any other day. With being a Zoo Keeper animal training is a huge part of my job. I do daily training sessions with animals for shifting, recalls, medical procedures, such as, blood draws, hoof trims, vaccination training, etc. I have a 3 year old cat who has many trained behaviors, such as sit, down, stretch, etc. I use operant conditioning for training and I have trained numerous animals such as, giraffe, elephants, large and small felines (tigers, cheetah, ocelots, domestic cats) I have worked with wolves, African wild dogs, and domestic K9's. I miss having a dog but I can only have a cat where I live so I do a ton of training with her. Don't let anyone tell you a cat can't be trained.

Jen is a hard working a dedicated animal caregiver. She has taken great care of our dog and cats on numerous occasions and our dog gets super excited when he sees her.

Information Jennifer V. would like to know about your pet

What is their temperament to other animals, dogs? Cats? Generally fine with most breeds, I have had bad/negative experiences with Dobermans and Rottweilers, so prefer to not work with those breeds.
