Licensed Vet Tech Here to Help!
Pet care experience
Hi there. My name is Kelly. I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 15 years experience, and I am here to help your pets with any medical or behavioral needs. I am also happy to help with pets that don't need my expertise. I have 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 3 axolotls myself! As you can see, I am very experienced and capable of handing any pet with behavior and medical issues. I am college and hospital trained to handle anything you throw my way! I currently work remotely from home, so I do have the flexibility for in-home visits throughout the day! I am also available for dog walking in early or late hours, as I will not put your dog's health at risk walking them between 10am and 6pm due to the current Texas heat. I would be happy to enrich your dogs in your home or outside in a yard with some shade.

About Kelly B.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I work with a fear-free based approach, and I allow your pets to accept me into their environment. If your pets are fearful, slow and steady wins the race, and I will never jeopardize your pet's trust.
Information Kelly B. would like to know about your pet
Any sort of behavior or medical conditions, past health history, issues with other people or pets, etc. I am mainly experienced with medium to large breed dogs, but I am more than capable of caring for extra large breeds and small/toy breeds due to my professional training and current job. I know small breeds want to be held as much as possible and always want to be by your side, and I also know larger breeds sometimes think they are giant lap dogs! :) If your dog is on any sort of medication or feeding/walking schedule, I would like to know that too.
A typical day
Early morning or evening walks around your neighborhood, enrichment and physical activities in your home or shaded parts of your yard, toys and lots of pets for cats, cuddle time for cats and dogs.

Availability
I am flexible throughout the day, but I will not be walking dogs in the Texas heat between 10am and 6pm. I will, however, enrich them inside the home or in a shaded backyard area.
