17 years veterinary experience
Pet care experience
Animals are my passion. From a young age, I wanted to be around animals. My family adopted many animals over the years, from cockatiels and turtles to cats and dogs and I loved all of them just the same. At the age of 15, I knew that I wanted to become a veterinarian when I grew up. I’ve worked 17 years in the veterinary field, with 12 of those working as a veterinary technician. Although I haven’t met my ultimate goal, I have received my bachelors degree and am now taking time to raise my family of five, nine including our animals, Cookie and Gizzy, our two guinea pigs, Mimi, our big fluffy cat, and Pujo, our “big moose” boxer/ mastiff. In due time, I hope to be able to go back to school, but for now I want to be around as many different animals as I can. I’ll love them like they were my own. Monday through Saturday I am available to do walks or drop in visits. I am also available on Sundays, but I charge $10 more per visit/ walk. When I come to your home I will ensure that they are safe and comfortable. My ultimate goal is to just make your pets happy while you are away.
