Pet care experience

8 Yrs Veterinary Tech Experience

I love ALL animals and I've had pets all of my life! I worked as a Vet Tech for 8 years and lived/worked on a farm with all kinds of animals. My parents raise German short hairs. I often take care of pets for my friends and family while they are gone. My furry kids currently include a 8 year old German Shepherd Mix named Sierra, and a 3 year old German Shepherd Mix named Luna, my sons 10 month old Black Lab Venom, a domestic Shorthair Cat Kneivel and our 9 year old bunny named Hopscotch. Our dog Sierra goes EVERYWHERE with us! I'm happy to say my 17 year old son also loves animals just as much as I do! I will care for your animals as if they were my own and can be trusted to be on time and go the extra mile to make sure your time away is as stress free as possible for your pet. After working at a Vet Clinic for 8 years I can provide every kind of care for your pet. I can give oral, Sub Q, and topical medication as well as trim toe nails, and take your pet for walks. I know how stressful leaving your pet can be so I follow feeding instructions and potty schedules to make sure your pets life is as normal as possible while you are away.

Oh my word I LOVE THIS APP! I have found it being a life saver in both finding me excellent humans to care for my fur baby like MINDY! She was quick to respond and was reliable resource for me I could trust on the spur of the moment!!! Boog did amazing for me when I got home from long day of riding. He was happy and acted like I wasn't gone. I highly recommend Mindy!!! Thank you
