Caring Vet Tech Loves Pets

Pet care experience

While working as a vet tech I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, and have the experience necessary to work with your beloved pets. I am the proud owner of 12 year old lab/terrier mix who thinks she's much younger than she is, and is my crazy best friend. I also share the house with six cats, two leopard geckos, two soft-shelled turtles, two red eared sliders and a yellow bellied slider. I have worked in wildlife rehabilitation for several years and have experience in various fields of exotic animals, both domestic and wild. I am certified in Fear-Free animal behavior and Cat Certified through the AAFP. I am vaccinated (and boostered) for Covid-19.

Natasha is dependable and great at communicating to let you know all is well with your fur baby. I highly recommend her. Thanks Natasha!

Natasha did a great job of taking care of our cat. He adjusted well to having her around, it was a dramatic improvement over boarding him. We'll be happy to book with Natasha again the next time we plan to be out of town.

Natasha was very timely communicating with us throughout the whole process and did everything we asked for our cats' care. When a storm came through the area she made sure to let us know that she could not safely physically make it that day, and offered to come twice on the subsequent day which was appreciated. She sent us update photos almost every visit so we could see our babies were doing well. Thanks Natasha!

I work 4 days a week (and occasionally Saturdays), but make time during the day to care for my animals. I also will most likely need to occasionally stop back home to care for my pets, depending on the distance and length of stay.
