Hello, My name is Mia, and I’m sure you have a lot of questions for me- so I’m here to give you a closer look at who I am and my experience with animals! I want you to take comfort in knowing your fur-babies are in good hands, so if you have any questions for me after reading below, please don’t hesitate to shoot me a message! I’m 23 years old, and have been working with and/or around animals my entire life. I was raised on a farm in Issaquah, WA where I learned how to care for all types animals from a young age. When I turned 18, I decided I wanted to pursue a career involving animals and decided to step into the veterinary world. I started out as a receptionist, but have since worked my way up to becoming a veterinary assistant. I’m currently taking online classes to move up to veterinary technician status, with the goal of becoming a veterinarian. In addition to my job as a vet assistant, I spend my weekends volunteering at various animal shelters, and/or horse stables (fun fact- I’ve been riding horses for 15 years!). I joined Rover a few years ago, and have worked with lots of four legged furry friends. I work well with all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages of dogs and cats, and have had success in working with timid or special need animals as well (feel free to check my reviews from the owners who have had animals with such needs). I personally have three cats, and one dog at home. My cats are all domestic medium hair and range from sassy to laid back personalities, and my dog is a German shepherd with lots of energy! I have accepted somewhat unusual jobs with lizards, bearded dragons, and house or yard work in addition to caring for your furry friends! I hope this helps you in getting a glimpse into who I am, and I’m excited to meet you and your four legged family members.
