I have extensive hands-on experience in pet care, ranging from dogs to cats and even exotic animals throughout all stages of their lifetime. I can easily handle basic needs like feeding, walking, and grooming, but I also have experience with administering medications in multiple forms, separation anxiety, elder care, incontinence, and various behavioral and medical conditions. I have an eye for details and will follow care instructions to a "T", providing routine and thorough updates to let you know how your animal is doing throughout care. I have been a foster multiple times and have worked with animals with various behavioral needs and backgrounds. Medical care experience includes cancer, kidney failure, incontinence, allergies, and various skin conditions. My primary and personal experience includes dogs, cats, and rabbits. I also have experience caring for turtles, fish, various rodents, amphibians, insects, and limited experience with reptiles. (Past care history includes: dogs (XS to XL), cats, rabbits, multiple species of turtle, mice, stick bugs, pill bugs, hissing cockroaches, fish, frogs) I do not have extensive experience with birds, snakes, or saltwater fish, but am happy to learn for low-risk animals in this category. For high-risk animals in this category who have high support or medical needs, please seek someone with more familiarity and experience for proper care. If you can teach me, I'd love to learn and bridge any gaps of knowledge to care for your pet as appropriate. I am comfortable handling most animals, reptiles, and insects, with exceptions on a case-by-case basis. I love animals of all kinds, and am happy to care for what others may call "creepy crawlers". :) I am not willing to work with dogs with extensive aggression or bite history. For minor cases including limited resource guarding, extreme shyness, reactivity or fear due to prior abuse or neglect, or other trauma-related cases, please reach out with with clear and transparent detail and we can discuss. Every animal deserves care, and it's vital to ensure it will be a good match on both sides for proper care and safety. A sampling of my care experience: Cats/Dogs/Rabbits: - Topical creams to skin and ear - Oral medication and supplements (Pills, liquids, food mixes) - Subcutaneous fluids (If your pet requires this, I am willing to provide this on a case-by-case basis) - Temperature reading - Minor treatment of cuts, irritations, and scratches Grooming Experience: - Dogs: XS (chihuahua) to XL (Dane mix), short hair, thick undercoats (husky, german shepherd), poodle/doodle hair, nail trims with clipping or dremel - Cats: Short and long hair, nail trims - I will not express glands, however I am happy to bring your animal to your preferred vet or groomer as needed for this service
