Pet care experience

Certified veterinary assistant

I am a compassionate Buddha that loves to surround myself with fur babies of all shapes colors, and sizes! I have been working with dogs,felines, and birds all my life and nothing brings me more joy. I obtained a certified vet veterinarian assistance license so I can assist injured animals as well. I’ve been working, fostering, loving and caring for animals for over 20 years and I can’t wait to share my experience with your companion animal! I feel honored and appreciation for every animal that I get to help.

Schedule

I’m a yoga teacher and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to work around dates and times and don’t travel very much. I also live alone so it makes it easier to focus on companions.

Pets

A typical day

A fun typical day for me would be a nice walk, followed by breakfast and then off to the beach or a dog park or a fun filled activity that I know your animal will love. I love to roll around and play with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and give them lots of cuddles.. If I am caring for cats, this would include a lot of playtime, a lot of pets and cuddles and positive attention.

It’s important to know if your pet has any allergies, anxiety, or emotional setbacks that can make it a little bit harder, such as feeding, walking, interacting with other animals, interacting with other humans, it’s just good to have that talk before hand.
