I am a veterinary student with a Bachelors Degree in Pre-Veterinary Medicine. I have experience as a veterinary nurse (3 years) where I worked in general practice as well as a specialty Internal Medicine and Oncology practice! 🩺 Due to my experience, I am able to administer oral and injectable medication as well as care for animals with special needs (i.e. diabetes, recovering surgical patients, etc.). I am also Fear Free Certified, meaning I am trained in positive reinforcement techniques and handling. I use praise, treats, and high reward treats during your pets stay. I treat your pets like family and I use my knowledge from clinical and personal pet experience to make them as comfortable as possible while you’re away! During the summer months (May-September), I exclusively do dog boarding/walking! I love having your pup in my home as I’m able to spend all day and night with them. It’s the greatest job in the world! During the Academic Year (Mid-September-May), my availability is a bit more variable as I am currently a veterinary student. I am able to better accommodate pups that are able to be left alone for a few hours a day, but I typically reserve these bookings for regulars as I have a better idea how the pup will do while I’m away. I am always open for a trial booking for new friends in need of a place to stay (owners will be given my most up-to-date schedule if this is the case) 🐾 I live in a 2 bedroom house (ground floor access) that is best suited to medium and small dogs. I love doing meet & greets prior to bookings and you are encouraged to come up and meet me, see my home, and meet my Maine Coon cats upon drop off! Cats are able to be kept separate by doors in the house if necessary, but dogs that are not great with cats (or have never met cats) are encouraged to come for a meet & greet prior to their stay. I have a fenced in front and rear garden, but pets are never allowed out of the house without my supervision.
