Experienced Vet Tech Ready to Help

Hello there! I’m Mary, a fear free certified vet tech of 8 years and pet parent for 18. I’ve been caring for animals since I was little with my own pets and more professionally since I was in high school and I volunteered at my local animal shelters. Since then I have been studying and working towards my veterinary degree. I have been providing at home care for family and friends with their pets who require more attention with medications and fluid treatments when they have difficulty. With that I’m more than comfortable giving medications, subcutaneous fluids, and prepping special diets if your furry family members need the extra care. Right now I’m mainly able to do drop in visits or overnights with pets who are ok being left alone for long stretches of time. I do also work with exotic pets as well. Please message me for more details on that.

Mary took great care of our kitties. She sent pictures many times to show how they were doing. We felt like they were in good hands.

It is such a relief to have Mary available to give fluids daily to my elderly cat while I'm gone!

Mary came each evening to give my 18-year-old ckd cat subcutaneous fluids. She was very competent and caring, plus also creative with ways to make getting fluids more pleasant for my sweet kitty. I was really nervous to leave, but knowing Mary was taking care of my baby and, especially, getting her those all-important fluids, really helped to put my mind at ease. Thank you, Mary!

Mary has a great rapport with animals, as well as the knowledge to handle medical concerns. She is responsive to communication and sends daily updates to keep owners in the loop on how their loved pets are doing. A pleasure to work with!

Mary took good care of my two kitties while we were away on vacation for 9 days. One of my cats has kidney disease and requires subcutaneous fluids twice a week, which Mary was able to administer without any issues. She also kindly helped take out the trash and water some plants (though a few didn’t survive — totally understandable!). She sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I had expected a bit more time to be spent with the cats. Based on our communication, I was under the impression that she’d be staying at the house more consistently, but it seemed like visits were mostly brief drop-ins after work, with overnight presence starting later in the evening. That said, the cats were safe, cared for, and in good spirits when we got home, and that’s what matters most. Thank you, Mary!

Mary made extra efforts for us to see our cats early and took excellent care of them while we were gone. She's a caring, knowledgeable and dependable person. We were very happy to have her look after the cats while we were out of town.
