I have several years of hands-on experience in animal care from the United States, split between clinical veterinary medicine, shelter environments, and dog training. *I am an American expat currently at an A1 German level. All booking details, daily updates, and communications are conducted in English to ensure clear communication :)* Veterinary Nursing: Worked in a rural animal hospital in general practice, with a focus on emergency triaging, assisting in orthopedic surgeries, and critical patient care. Dog Training & Behavior: Worked in animal shelters managing dogs of all sizes and behavioral temperaments. I am experienced with complex medical conditions, post-op recovery, and administering all forms of medication (oral, topical, and injections). My personal and foster experience includes raising neonates, caring for a dog with spina bifida in a wheelchair, and some wildlife rehabilitation. I am also fully comfortable handling behaviorally sensitive animals and providing routine care like nail trims and ear cleanings.
