Pet care experience

Veterinary Tech & Experienced

I currently work as a veterinary technician and have around 9 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, including anxious pets and pets with special needs. My veterinary experience has also made me comfortable administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and handling pets safely. I treat every animal like I would want someone to treat my own!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is always my priority. Working in veterinary medicine has taught me how to safely handle animals with different temperaments and recognize signs of stress, discomfort, or illness. I carefully follow feeding, medication, walking, and household instructions and will always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual.

Schedule

work at a veterinary hospital during the week, but I’m available outside of my work schedule and have flexibility for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I’m happy to coordinate with you ahead of time to make sure your pet’s normal routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away.

I’d love to know your pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, medical conditions, and any behavioral quirks or triggers. Please also let me know how they do with other animals and people, as well as anything that makes them especially comfortable or happy.
