I have experience as both a large and small animal veterinary technician, a degree in Animal Science and my most recent position was teaching high school animal science. I have taken care of a wide variety of species including reptiles, birds, dogs, cats, chinchillas, fish, horses, goats, sheep and more! I am attentive and understand the physical, mental and emotional needs of pets especially when their owners are away. I offer both short term and long term care and have covered up to six month deployments. Animals in my care are treated as if they were my own. I can take them hiking, swimming, and running as long as the owners are comfortable with it. I currently work part time as a nurse Monday through Friday. This schedule allows me to offer plenty of time with kids and pets around work hours. We are an active family with two fully vaccinated dogs who love when four legged friends come to stay. Our yard is LARGE and fully fenced. We have a dog door where pets can come and go as they please and also reside in a safe neighborhood that's great for walking.
