Take comfort in knowing you are leaving your pet with an experienced and responsible pet sitter. I have years of experience in caring for animals both personally and professionally. I’ve lived with animals my entire life and began caring for pets professionally over 25 years ago. My career with animals began as a volunteer for the CT Humane Society and shortly after began working in the veterinary field -which I have continued to do for the last 15 years. I have lived and worked all over, but I currently reside in Somerville, MA and work at a local veterinary clinic as a veterinary technician or nurse. As a veterinary nurse, I assist veterinarians in appointments and surgery by administering oral and injectable medications, as well as administering vaccinations, taking x-rays, administering subcutaneous fluids, clipping and cleaning wounds, taking blood pressure, phlebotomy, and educating pet parents. Because of my training I will be very in tune to your pet's needs and quick to identify injury or illness (not that I expect either during my time with them.) I care about animals and their well-being so much that I have chosen to make it my career. I will love and treat your pet as I would my own.
