Veterinarian & lover of animals!

Pet care experience

An animal lover through and through, I am guaranteeing that I will treat your pet like one of my own! At age 12, I began volunteering at the animal shelter and fostering kittens, along with caring for my two pets. Since then, I have worked with numerous animal organizations to provide care for animals. Many of this experience has been at veterinary hospitals, so I have a solid understanding of canine/feline health and have just graduated from vet school. Additionally, I have raised 6 puppies for Canine Companions (a service dog organization), so I have experience with proper training techniques. Further, I have done various dog sitting/walking jobs for a wide range of breeds and temperaments and have a special interest in veterinary behavior, so I am comfortable working with reactive or anxious dogs. I have a passion for caring for animals and promise to do the same for your pet! :-)

Walks! Jogs! Trips to the lake! Playing fetch! Trick training! I am essentially willing to do whatever your pet enjoys while making sure all are safe and happy.
