Vet Assistant and Kennel Tech

Pet care experience

Kennel staff for 5 years. Duties include caring for puppies, senior, sick, or disabled dogs as well as administering medications and preparing special diets. Cats are included. Currently taking online classes for dog training and animal behavior. Interned at a zoo and has experience with wild/exotic animals. I will go over any special needs or requirements with the client upon first meeting along with a quick introduction to the animal(s). If required I can bring my own leash for walks. Most often I spend time getting to know the animal first and then engage in whatever they like most, be it cuddling, playing, or going for a walk.

Meredith is great with my older pup who also is diabetic! It’s nice to not have to worry about him when I’m gone!

Meredith was amazing! She was knowledgeable about pets and medication. Our oldest dog has some special needs and she was on top of it the whole time. She was got great photos and updates daily. The house was in good order when we returned and the dogs were very happy!

Information Meredith H. would like to know about your pet

I need information ahead of time regarding any health problems a pet may have so I can keep an eye out for any signs of problems. Other things include any medications they may take, how often they take the medications, if they have any special dietary needs, if they have any allergies, any particular stress reactions, and any behavioral issues. It would be prudent to also know how well socialized the pet is or if they have any adverse reactions to strangers. I have experience with very shy dogs and it has not been an issue.

A typical day

I like to play with dogs in a variety of ways! Walks, play dates, toys, and games are my favorite activities. I especially like to take my dogs on car rides around George Wyth park.
