Veterinary and training experience

Previous experience as a veterinary assistant capable of emergency medical responses, medication needs, grooming needs, and other needs as requested. I have worked with a rescue group for the past 11 years fostering dogs and retraining them as needed in order to find them loving homes. I am capable of handling all animals over a wide range of behavioral and physical needs. I currently am self employed working from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am willing to adapt as needed. Weekday, weekend, and overnights available. I am very flexible and open to the needs and current routine that your pets need. Walks, playtime, feeding, and medications can all be tailored to your requests. Since my schedule is flexible, please share your specific requests and I can adjust my schedule as needed. *Please note on overnight stays I will not be there 24/7 as I have my own dog at home. I will stop over regularly and stay throughout the overnight hours as much as possible. Please share your pet’s specific routine so I can customize my schedule (ex: dog is used to going outside at least every 4 hours, specific walking times, specific feeding times, needs someone there to snuggle up with overnight, etc). *I respect that most pet owners have cameras in their homes for security and safety reasons, as do I. I kindly ask that you share this information up front so I am aware of personal areas where I can change, get ready, etc and still have personal privacy. *An extra deposit will be added for any of our feline friends that require physical contact for administration of medication. This is to ensure that any bite incidents can be treated accordingly. I’d be happy to discuss specifics with the owner once obtaining all details of what the pet will need. I completely understand medication is a necessity to keep all pets happy and healthy, yet I want to ensure my own safety as well to ensure a positive interaction. Safety is of upmost importance as I am very protective over the needs of my current foster dog and I fully appreciate and respect that other animal owners are the same way. Accommodations will vary dependent on each specific animal and their needs, owner requests, and owner comfortability levels. All animals will be monitored at all times and never left alone outside in yards or other areas to ensure proper safety precautions are taken for a smooth and productive visit. **Please note an extra fee may be assessed for any requests that are outside of my normal service area and for those that are booked with less than a 24 hour notice in order to accommodate all clients. **

Sarah was so helpful with getting a new medication in my rather uncooperative boy and was even able to provide some advice on pilling him. Really appreciated her professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond with my medically complex boy!
