I had the pleasure of working at an Animal Hospital in Dallas Tx while in college and pet sat for clients regularly (6 years). While working at the animal hospital I interacted with varying clients and fur patients, and learned so much about preventative care and also treatments. Over the years because of this experience and my love for animals, my friends and family often turn to me for advice when they have pet questions. In addition to basic care, I have experience in administering insulin injections and IV fluids. My grandmother's poodle became diabetic in his later years and required daily insulin injections. One of my own cats needed IV fluids every few days as he was 17 and having some kidney issues. My vet (boss at the time), showed me how to do this at home so I did not have to bring him to the clinic as much. This helped reduce his anxiety a lot. I understand how difficult it is when pets get older and begin to have special needs, and frequent trips to the vet are hard on them and us as parents. If we can find a solution to help them at home, then that is best! In addition to basic care and feeding, oral/injectable medications and treatments, I also offer mail pick-up, light and blind/shade rotations, and plant care to keep your household active while you are away. With regard to fees for my services, my rates are based on experience, knowledge, reliability, my time, and mileage/travel expenses.
