Veterinary student here to help

Pet care experience

Please let me know if my pricing doesn't seem fair ( rover also doesn't always calculate correctly ) Animal lover my whole life, professional for three years, I have worked in grooming, boarding and at a Veterinary practice as a Veterinary assistant. Now I'm a first year veterinary student at ISU. I have cared for and administered medication to animals of all kinds including cats, reptiles, birds, rats, hamsters, pocket pets . Happy to arrange a meet and greet before hand , happy to continue any training you are currently doing. I can make animals of any disposition feel at ease , I have two dogs and three rabbits of my own and I've had almost every kind of animal . References available. I have a flexible schedule so I can be there when you need me, please let me know if there is any more information or reassurances I can provide.

Katie did a fantastic job. She followed all of our cats care instructions perfectly and gave regular updates.

This was the first time Katie sat for us, we were extremely happy with her service and hope to hire her again when the need arises. She genuinely loves animals, is great with communication, follows instructions well and left the house in good order. It is very obvious that she has a great work ethic and enjoys what she does!

Katie took wonderful care of my bunnies! She went above and beyond, taking on the care of one of my rabbits that was recovering from an upper respiratory infection and needed two medications. Katie was quick to answer questions and concerns about how my rabbits were doing, and sent lots of photos. I will definitely be asking Katie to pet sit again!
