Pet care is a regular part of my life as both an animal science student and a veterinary professional with pets of my own. While attending college, I have been involved with NC State's veterinary school through research, clinical pathology training, and volunteering. I would say I help care for pets 3 to 4 days a week, depending on pet availability and my class and work schedule, but I try to care for animals whenever I can. I am dedicated to veterinary medicine and the well-being of pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I will follow any preferences my clients have regarding their pets' care and will keep them updated with photos throughout my time with their pets. I will inquire about allergies, medications, known diagnoses, and the name of their preferred veterinary office. This information will ensure I am fully informed about the pet's health and know where to call for assistance in a familiar environment. I love caring for animals in a way that makes them feel at ease, so my approach is tailored to their personalities. Additionally, I am very attentive to all the pets I care for and strive to build a good relationship with my clients to learn more about their pets through them.

Information Jimmy P. would like to know about your pet

I like to know of their temperament and what makes them feel comfortable around new people as well as any medical issues that may arise.

A typical day

I will engage the pet with their favorite toys and try to keep them enriched when I can tell their in a playful mood. I am very interactive with pets and love to cuddle up with those who are comfortable and give lots of scratches. I will take them walking around the neighborhood, play ball with them, and cater to their preferences. Dogs are great at displaying when something brings them joy or positive stimulation, and I use that to my advantage when deciding what activity is best for the dog, on top of owners preferences.

Commited Pre-Veterinary Caregiver

Pet care experience

I attended Nash Rocky Mount Early College High School, where I earned a veterinary assistant certification from Nash Community College, along with an Associate of Science degree. I have worked briefly at Coat's Veterinary Hospital, Care First Animal Hospital, and NC State's Veterinary Hospital Clinical Pathology Lab during my studies. Currently, I am a senior animal science student at NC State, working on Clinical Trial Research with Dr. Wade and Dr. Sherry, which focuses on elderly dogs. We are investigating their physical and neurological functions as they age in hopes of discovering new, innovative ways to assist them through that process and monitor their condition.

I’ve had a really great experience with my dog walker. He’s incredibly kind and attentive, and it’s obvious he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. I have two dogs, and he handles both of them with ease, making sure they’re safe, happy, and well taken care of every time. One thing I really appreciate is that he always sends pictures during or after the walks. It gives me peace of mind knowing they’re doing well and actually enjoying themselves. You can tell he goes the extra mile—not just getting the job done, but making sure my dogs are comfortable and cared for like they’re his own. Overall, I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my dogs. Reliable, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about what he does.
