Experienced & Reliable Vet Tech
Pet care experience
I am a licensed Veterinary Technician with 15 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. I have a deep understanding of animals and their needs. I am very qualified to care for animals that have medical needs such as regular medication administration, sub-Q fluid administration or regular insulin injections. I am home 7 days a week and can spend quality time with your pets. I am able to walk or exercise your dogs according to their needs. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs my whole life (43 years) and I knew very early on that my love for animals would follow me through life. I chose a career working with animals and I am now a Registered Veterinary Technician (the animal equivalent to an RN). I have spent 15+ years working in the Veterinary field and many of those I have been pet sitting for the clients I met through my line of work. Meet my pets I have a pet friendly home with dogs, cats and kids. Childrens ages are 10 & 13. The kids have been around animals their whole life and they are very dog & cat savvy. About my yard I've included pictures in my profile, but we have a large fenced backyard. Its mostly grass, and has provided a great area to exercise the dogs in. My experience administering medication This is my specialty and why I started pet sitting in the first place! I had clients at work that were headed out for a vacation, but their pets needed regular medication administration...something that the neighbor may not be able to do. I am a pro at this, even with cats.

Information Jocie V. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if the dog is crate trained? Or if he would prefer to sleep on the bed with a human? The most important is to find out if the dog gets along with other dogs, my dogs are used to other dogs coming and going in their home, so after the initial meeting they barely notice our guests. How often they need to be taken out for a potty break? Are they house broken?
A typical day
Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog can sleep where ever you think he may be more comfortable. My own dogs are welcome on the bed as long as they leave room for the people. LOL We also have doggie beds in our bedroom, which is where the dogs usually end up when they get too hot on the bed. Time I'll spend with your dog It depends on the day or arrangements that we make. If your dog is at home with me, he will be with me all day, unless I need to leave. Time I'll spend with your dog I usually spend at least 30-40 minutes with a pet in their home during each visit. I can spend more time if requested. I am home 5 days/week. When animals are with me in my home they have me all the time, unless I need to leave briefly. Extra house-sitting services Absolutely! I just need a list.
