Pet care experience
In childhood we had several furry and feathered family members whether it was my immediate family or extended. My favorite being to be around were the furry kind. Within the past year and a half, I've discovered my highest excitement in life is caring for animals, both mine and others. My last fur baby moved on in 2020 but I get my fur cuddles in with my grandpup, Luna, as well as other family and friends fur babies. In 2022 I had the opportunity to be trained as a veterinary assistant at a local veterinary hospital. While I absolutely loved the opportunity to care for the babies of so many families, I've found that I'd prefer to provide a more indepth comforting, fun, and less hurried service to these beautiful little (and sometimes huge) beings. As an assistant my duties included preparing the patients and their parents for the doctor; hold the animals during procedures; for hospitalized pets I would prepare kennels and provide care such as walking, cleaning up kennels if they had an accident, feeding once they were cleared by the doctor; walk, feed, and medicate boarding pets; and overall just trying to be a comforting presence for the animals while assisting the doctors and technicians. I would absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family to determine if I am a good fit to be of service to you both. The deep true compassion and love I feel for my own animals extends to all people's furry family members.

About Rachel V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Communication is essential. When we meet for the first time to determine if I may be of service to you, I would like to learn the typical routine your pet experiences in a given day. What their preferences are and what your preferences are. Ultimately, it is about providing an environment where your pet feels safe and cared for when their special human, their safety and comfort being, their whole world, is unable to be present for him or her. My care for your pet will be customized based on your input.
