I am currently an RVT (registered veterinary technician) and have been for 3 years. I know first hand out it feels to trust your fur babies with someone else. Growing up we always had dogs in our home and I have been around them my whole life. Walks, morning and afternoon play time, endless hours of tug-o-war and chase, reconstructing stuffed animals because they "just had to get the squeaky toy out," I've been there and I've seen it all. As for the RVT side of things, first aid and understanding what a pet is going through is something that is not new to me. I have seen situations turn from great to critical in matter if seconds and know the first steps on what to do in those times. I can assure you, your pet will be in good hands. I am in the process of going to human nursing school as it is my dream to help others. Hours may vary of times I will be at your home due to crazy working schedule, but I will be there for overnight stays and mornings and evenings.
