Qualified Veterinary Nurse

Pet care experience

I am a qualified. vastly experienced veterinary nurse with over twenty five years experience working in both Europe and the United States. I qualified from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in London and spent my career working in both general and emergency veterinary medicine. I had a particular love for surgery and internal medicine. I moved to Tampa in 2009. I am highly competent in administering medication to pets requiring injections and pills. Pets with special needs present no problem. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and have owned several in my lifetime. Although I am currently without a dog in my life, I am mom to two kitty cats named Yorick and Horatio. Any pet under my care receives loving attention and lots of hugs. I am happy to care for any pet including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and various other pocket pets.

Mary is an experienced veterinary nurse and has devoted her life to caring for all animals as though they were her own. She's caring,knowledgeable and reliable-your babies couldn't be in better hands. I wouldn't trust my furkids to anybody else!

Mary is one of the most caring, sensitive, thoughtful, animal-loving people I know. I am a veterinarian in Ireland, where Mary trained and originally worked as a veterinary nurse. She was the leader of our veterinary nursing team for several years, and she set a high standard for every one else to follow. I always knew that if Mary was responsible for one of my patients, the nursing care would be outstanding. With her veterinary nursing training and experience, I have no doubt that Mary will be an exceptional dog caregiver in any environment.

I have known Mary for a very long time. I am a veterinary nurse in Dublin Ireland and used to work with Mary therw. She had her own two dogs at time and is amazing with handling and caring for dogs She really has the perfect touch looking after them with all her experience and loving care. I would highly recommend her as a dog carer.

Mary's love for animals and the care she gives them shows in everything that she does. I have known her in a veterinary setting, where she is a knowledgeable and compassionate veterinary nurse. She has also been a pet sitter for my animals. I always feel comfortable leaving, knowing they are in her hands, and they are always happy and well-taken care of when I get home! Mary would be an excellent choice for your pet sitting needs. I highly recommend her!

Information Mary R. would like to know about your pet

I do not really have any breed preferences. However, I would like to know if the dog has any behavioral issues such as severe separation anxiety or a propensity to eat or attack furniture when left alone! If there is any medical condition, it is important to me that I am fully informed about this. My veterinary knowledge is of enormous help here.

A typical day

I realize that pet owners choose to go with pet sitters because they don't want their pets stressed while being in a cage at the boarding kennel. But even so , pets can get lonely while their parents are away. It is my goal to make sure that their fur babies receive lots of love and attention, cuddles and game time. I will keep my clients updated on their baby's welfare and would like to believe that while my clients are out of town, their babies become mine for a short while.
