Pet care experience

Care for all of your pets needs!

I have years of clinical vet assistant experience and I am currently in school to become a licensed vet tech. Prior to my clinical experience, I worked in the animal welfare field at Seattle Humane as an adoptions advisor which was such a rewarding experience. I took care of animals on a daily basis at the shelter and matched dogs and cats with the perfect adopters. I am trained and certified in animal first aid and CPR. I have extensive training and knowledge about proper handling and care for most breeds and temperaments. This includes dogs and cats that are shy and fearful of new people or environments. During my career I also worked with feral cats and am an expert with stress free handling techniques. I love having the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of animals and their amazing pet parents!

We left our two big dogs with her for 19 nights while we were out of the country. Knowing my dogs as well as I do, I can guarantee they are not a job for everyone... My two big dogs can be a huge challenge. 🔥 She impressed me. She was able to handle them really well. I was so happy with all the daily videos and pictures! 🥹🙏🏻 She sent us pictures and videos every day, just as I had requested. She took great care of them and kept me updated throughout the entire stay, which gave me so much comfort and peace of mind during those 19 days away from them.🏆 I was pretty worried about their needs and behavior, so I wrote down a lot of details for her and practically printed a whole book of instructions. 🥴 She was incredibly understanding, professional, patient, and affectionate with them. 🙏🏻 I truly can’t thank her enough. She also went the extra mile by noticing they needed a bath and talking to me about it. I loved that and gladly agreed to the idea, so she took them to get bathed and groomed, and they came back looking refreshed and feeling so much better. I loved seeing the result! She has such a special energy, and from the very first time we met, I had an excellent impression of her. I don’t intend to leave my two big dogs with anyone else but her. Kudos to her and her fiancé, who also helped care for them and take them on walks. Knowing they were in good hands brought me so much peace while we were away. I’m truly grateful to have found such good and competent people to take care of my handful of crazy dogs. She was absolutely fantastic. Not everyone can handle the responsibility and challenge of taking care of two big dogs like mine, and she proved that she absolutely can. May God bless this amazing dog sitter and future vet! 🐾
