Hi I'm Maddie! My experience with animals is endless. I have owned animals all my life, and I work with animals both in a professional matter and less so on a daily basis. I am a recent CSU graduate with the potential of going into veterinary medicine one day. I work with a variety of organizations taking care of animals including the Fort Collins Cat Rescue/Spay & Neuter Clinic and the CSU Vet Teaching Hospital. I have some vet knowledge from working with fosters for the past 4 years, and I previously cared for a variety of pets with the Pets Forever program daily with duties including dog walking, grooming, veterinary assistance, some training, and cat care. I live on the east side of Fort Collins near I-25 for easy drop off and pick up from work! I have three very dog savvy cats and they love all animals and people. I also have a great crazy pup Jade who is excellent with other animals. She is a huge sweetheart, although a bit energetic and playful still! I own a townhome that has a lot of space for your pets to roam, as well as large field space and many paths outside for extra exercise and fun. Want to drop your dog off for some play time and exercise? I take dogs out hiking in the local Lory State Park, where we can run and explore for hours! Ask me about specialty hike days and to arrange an adventure for your pup! Availability I currently work as a emergency veterinary technician in the clinical pathology lab at the CSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital. I switch between days and nights, and am able to adapt to various situations. I have very open availability for the month of October 2017, so bring your pets and relax a bit! Meet my pets I have three cats: Oliver, Meeko, and Opal. The three get along great with other animals and are very adaptable. :) I also have a guinea pig named Mylo, and an adopted 3yo BLM Mustang named Snickers! My experience administering medication Yes. I give medication and vaccines at least once every other week to fosters. I can administer medications orally or through injection and I have some limited vet knowledge for animals. Have larger pets? I also have experience working with larger animals such as horses, chickens, rams/sheep, and pet cattle. Ask me for more information on potentially helping pet sit your small farm!
