Pet care experience

I grew up owning and taking care of many different animals. I always wanted to work with animals in some capacity, so that led me to Purdue University, where I graduated with a BS degree in Business Management and an AS degree in Veterinary Technology. I now work remotely for Purdue as an academic advisor for the Veterinary Technology Distance Learning program! I love animals and am very attentive and knowledgeable. I can administer medications, trim nails, etc. I will give your pets the best care possible!

Laurie checked on my 2 cats while I was away. They are very shy but they warmed up to her right away. She was very kind and stayed to give them treats and pet them every night. Both of them loved her and I'll definitely have her watch them again!
