veterinary technician

Pet care experience

I have a degree in veterinary technology and have experience caring for animals as a technician in a fast paced veterinary clinic. I signed up for rover because I currently work in more of a laboratory setting in the vet field and I dont get to meet new cats and dogs through my day job anymore and I really miss the animal care aspect of being a tech. Prior to this I worked as a lodger/ doggy daycare councilor for 3 years. I am trained and comfortable with bathing, cleaning ears, trimming nails, expressing anal glands and giving medications including injections/fluids. At home I have one cat and two border collie mixes that I adore. My dogs grew up going to daycamp and the dog park with me and are a great pair to meet if you need some extra socializing for your pup. I have many years experience caring for all types of cats and dogs. In my free time, I enjoy training my active pups and taking them running and hiking. I have a fairly flexible schedule, so drop in visits morning and night can easily be arranged during the week. I am available for boarding and drop in visits anytime of day Fridays through Mondays. My husband and I live in a single family home with a fenced in yard. I have 2 border collie mixes who are very dog friendly for both large and small dogs. We have plenty of toys, bowls, treats, and dog beds, along with a large wire kennel to share with any boarder staying with us!

Jenny did an amazing job watching our cats! They’re a little older and can be finicky with food. But Jenny was patient and tried different ways to get them to eat. Report cards were super informative and the pictures were great. Thank you x1000!

Jenny is always amazing with my anxious cat. She makes sure that my cat takes all of her meds, sends wonderful pictures and very through updates each visit. I highly recommend her for anyone who is worried about leaving their pets!

100% recommend Jenny. Will definitely contact her next time we are in town! She sent photos of our pup while we were at a local event and we felt super comfortable with him there. Communication was great and she treated him like one of her own. Nox had a great day and enjoyed being a part of the pack!

We loved Jenny and trusted her with our 16 and 17 year old cats! She sent us detailed updates and photos of our babies to ease our mind while we were away. We will definitely ask her to help us out again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in yard with lots of toys for inside and in the yard. We have 2 active and smart dogs in our household (border collies,) so our daily routine basically revolves around keeping them mentally and physically stimulated with puzzles, training sessions, and playtime outside. Dogs who board with us get to join in on our dogs active routine when they are with us. Our younger border collie is under a year right now and loves to play with new dogs and puppies! We also never leave our dogs alone for more than 3 to 4 hours at most during the day right now since our puppy is still young!
