Pet care experience

Former Vet Tech Dog Care

I have over 7 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician and small animal groomer. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and dogs with medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing signs of illness or stress, and handling dogs safely and calmly. I focus on routine, structure, and positive, low-stress care so your dog feels secure and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

With my background as a veterinary technician, safety and attention to detail are second nature to me. I carefully follow all owner instructions, monitor eating, litter habits, and behavior, and watch for early signs of illness or distress. I ensure doors and windows are secure, maintain a clean environment, and treat every home with respect. I communicate promptly and clearly so you feel confident your cat is in experienced, capable hands.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes structured walks, potty breaks, feeding, enrichment, and play based on each pets energy level. I focus on physical exercise, mental stimulation, routine, and positive interaction to keep dogs relaxed, engaged, and comfortable throughout the day.

I appreciate knowing your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, specific medical needs, medications, behavioral triggers, leash manners, and energy level. Information about anxiety, reactivity, training cues, or special care helps me provide safe, consistent, and personalized care. I love making homemade dog safe treats, please inform me about dietary restrictions. Please be specific.
