Animals have always been a big part of my life — I have experience with cats, dogs, exotics and reptiles. I received my certified Veterinary Assistant degree while participating in my high school's veterinary program. I had an internship at a local veterinary clinic during this time that turned into a job for three years. From this I learned how to care for animals as one would in that environment. Including, but not limited to: administering medication, shots, proper handling/holding, dealing with all personalities, injuries to myself (not fun, but it happens which is why choosing Rover is great because of the Rover guarantee!) and other similar tasks. When caring for your family pet, I take all the proper precautions and make sure they have what they need per instructions from you.
