Experienced Veterinary Assistant

Pet care experience

I started my career in an animal emergency clinic as a veterinarian assistant in 2009, from there I moved into the general practice veterinary field, where I remained until 2021. I began pet sitting shortly after starting my career in animal medicine. I do this because it is my passion, and I find comfort in helping people to care for their pets, they become part of my forever family ❤️ I do my best to stay on top of my research in health, food and behavior; I truly enjoy trying to find and practice the best ways to care for all our little fur babies. I offer a very wide range of services and specialize in sick and elderly pets. I can handle special needs pets too, maybe they may need special handling due to behavior issues or if they need to be administer injections,and/or oral and topical medications. Handling animals and ensuring their safety and good health is my priority and I put great detail into their needs. I understand leaving your pet in the hands of another can be scarry, let me put your mind to rest as I will care for them like my own! I will send lots of updates. I also know many veterinarians that are always willing to answer questions and give me advice, truly priceless! I do specialize in cats; I grew up with them and speak cat language pretty well😻 Even the angry and non social ones 😼 Some services I offer: Cleaning litter box as well as keeping your house cleaned and tidy Brushing Nail trims Behavior training Leash training Ear cleanings and medicating Administer any types of medications or inhalers Anal glands expressions Grooming Exercising Health and nutrition advice Of course play time is included! Also watering plants and getting mail Running errands Feel free to ask me!

Lisa looked after my cats while I was away for an international trip for almost a month. She’s responsible, detail-oriented, caring and responsive. One of my cats likes was shy, and Lisa figured out a way to have her walk outside, cuddle and play. I’m thankful that my cats are in perfect hands with Lisa. I will have Lisa taking care of my cats during my absence in the future and recommend her to everyone who needs help in this regard. :)
