Pet care experience

Tempe student & past vet assistant

My mom is a vet, so I’ve worked to take care of many different animals including cats and dogs at home. I also worked as an assistant at the veterinary clinic with animal handling during school breaks for the last 7 years. I have experience with all sizes of dogs, and simple medical procedures.

Kaia is amazing. She is a kitty whisperer like no other. She’s calm and gives her full attention to giving love and affection, and truly pays keys into the unique needs of each little beast. They (and we) love Kaia. Couldn’t ask for better care while we’re away!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I’m currently a student completing my masters at ASU Tempe, so my schedule is flexible to accommodate your needs! I offer check-ins and walks before 8pm Sunday-Thursday and before 9pm Friday-Saturday. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I will give your pet time to warm up to my presence in your home while providing lots of rewards. I am able to handle all sizes of dogs on leash, and have knowledge of providing injections and other forms of medication.

Pets

A typical day

I currently don’t offer any pet care services in my own home, but always look to stimulate the pets mind with toys and treats when doing walks and check-ins. While on walks, I let the dogs sniff around our path and decide where they want to walk so it’s most accommodated for them.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Before confirming a walk or check-in, I always like to know if their are any training behaviors that need to be enforced during my time with the pet.
