Certified & Kennel Experience

Pet care experience

Hi! Recently relocated located from SF to 757 I work full time in Tech - but I have past experience as an Animal Care Technician for three years at an Animal Shelter/Animal Control Center, which included dog walking daily (with a variety of different breeds and personalities ) as well as general/medical care for dogs, cats and small animals (rodents, reptiles, etc). From working in this role, I have experience with animals that are anxious, timid, and have a history of abuse - so I know how to properly handle animals with these characteristics. I have also been a trained volunteer for four years at various animal shelters, and I also took a year-long Veterinary Assistant course. I have the ACT Animal Care Training Certification for having completed the Kennel Assistant Training series. Additionally, I have a certification from my Career & Technical Education Center for having completed 540 hours of training in the area of Veterinary Science. I also have two dogs and one cat! They are my children.

Our cats were fed and happy when we returned. We appreciated seeing the photos of each visit. Very responsible and kind.

It’s always wonderful to have Lea watch our cat while we’re away! Reliable, great communication, and our shy cat absolutely loves her. Thanks again!

Lea did a great job making my babies feel comfortable and she sent us lots of pics and updates while we were gone. Would definitely rehire her!

My cat Juniper took an instant liking to Lea, and she's normally super shy. Reliable, flexible when it came to key drop off/pick-up, and greatly appreciated!

I am open to walks, playing, or any fun and safe activity for each animal that the owner is comfortable with. I will ask beforehand if there are any restrictions or concerns.
