Pet care experience

A loving veterinary assistant

I started shadowing a veterinarian at the age of 15 and now at the age of 19 have worked my way up as a veterinary assistant, but I am now working for an EMS company. I owned a senior Labrador who required extra care. I rescued a 8 week old puppy who required rehabilitation that I oversaw with the help of a veterinary clinic. She is now well and thriving at 3 years old. I have the ability to administer medications and monitor pets whenever.

Safety, trust & environment

Due to my own pets I don’t have the resources to board pets. I can travel to client homes, feed, and give meds to pets when needed. Your pets will not be socialized unless instructed by you. I can harness and walk dogs of all sizes as long as it is safe to for me and you pet’s safety. (This would be for an extra fee)

I am currently a driver for an EMS company. I used to be a veterinary assistant and just would love to stay around animals as a parting job. I have time in between my shifts and can sometimes stop during them. I am very flexible.

I prefer to know if a dog is overly hyper, anxious, or aggressive before going into your home. This is for the safety of your pet and myself.
