I am a veterinarian licenced in Europe looking to continue to care for animals, including those with special needs, in the Sudbury area. I provide pet-sitting for healthy (including dog-reactive dogs) as well as elderly or chronically ill pets of all sorts (cats, dogs, birds, pocket pets, and rabbits) while catering to their personal and medical needs when you can’t. I only take on pets from one household at a time. After my heart cat passed away a few months ago and after talking to the owners of many senior pets, I realized that not everyone has the luxury of being able to provide high level veterinary nursing care at home for their pets. Whether you are away for the day, for vacation, or just need a break of the daily load of caring for a pet with medical needs, my home and skills are here to help. Please note that I cannot act as a veterinarian and cannot perform regulated veterinary acts, I provide pet-sitting and respite care only, with the knowledge and skills of a veterinarian. I am fully equipped to pet-sit animals with Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome, Intervertebral Disk Disease and paralysis or limb weakness, urinary and fecal incontinence or retention, blindness, dry eye or glaucoma or corneal ulcers requiring eye drops, chronic kidney disease requiring subcutaneous fluids, seizure disorders, chronic ear and skin issues as well as allergies, diabetes, Cushing’s and Addison’s disorders, hyper- or hypothyroidism, gastroenteric paralysis in herbivores such as rabbits, respiratory and cardiac illnesses, etc. I have cared for all sorts of species from cats, to birds, to rabbits, and of course, dogs. I also have extensive farm and equine experience, please let me know if you require the care of additional animals or a farm sitting.
