Vet. Assistant Fear Free Certified
Pet care experience
Feel free to check out my Facebook page for reviews and shenanigans with my extended pack (pet sitting clients.) Just search Rani's Pet Care. Rover doesn't allow the link. Veterinary Assistant for 4 years and Fear Free Certified, I have experience with small animals, dogs, cats and reptiles. I have been pet sitting for about 9 years, as well as a pet owner myself for a lifetime. I can administer medication orally, transdermally, subcutaneously or intramuscularaly. (So, if your pet receives pills, insulin, SQ fluids, adequan, etc- no problem!) I am able to trim nails and bathe most pets. My availability is flexible; I can transport to/from grooming or veterinary appointments. I can provide longer hikes at surrounding parks, as well. I'm open to picking up medications/food and delivering to you. My heart is with senior pets but I'm great with all dogs even excitable or dog reactive pups! Cats tend to like me and I'm even gaining experience with large birds.
Reviews
Rani has been taking care of my parrot and kitties for years! Finding a petsitter to take care of a bird is hard to find and I think the world of her. Her background of vet tech has allowed us to travel even when one of our cats needed insulin shots twice a day. We always come back to very happy and healthy pets. When we are away, we are always in contact via texts. On our long trips, she always sends us photos! I highly recommend Rani to anyone with any kind of pet. She is the best!
We got to know Rani when she was a vet technician where we took our dogs, and she was highly recommended by our vet as our pet sitter. We have used her multiple times over the past few years when going out of town-- she stays at our house and takes amazing care of our two dogs and of our house. One of our dogs is a special needs dog (old and mostly blind and deaf requiring multiple medications daily), and we never worry leaving her or either dog in Rani's care. I cannot say enough about Rani-- she is trustworthy, awesome with animals, is respectful of homes, and is knowledgeable about dogs. We think she is fabulous!
About Rani I.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always discuss how you want your pets looked after. If you utilize a fence, harness, leashes, etc. I just do the same. As long as I am made aware of any specific requirements needed, I will make it happen. I'm Fear Free certified, so easily assess anxieties or excitement, which makes it easy to prevent any issues with pets not getting along or possible problems on walks.
Information Rani I. would like to know about your pet
I like to know the pets general temperament with dogs, cats and people. Any known stressors. Obedience Level/Leasstressor. Known commands Typical schedule Health Concerns Favorite treats/toys
A typical day
I try to provide the stimulation they like whether it be; Fetch, Chase, Neighborhood Walks, tricks they know or just cuddling. In the past, I've had dogs that I take to local parks or do play dates with my dog at their home.
