Vet Tech with ER training

Pet care experience

I have been working with animals professionally since I was 19 (34 now), I started in the kennel taking care of boarding patients and have become an advanced veterinary technician over the past 10 years. I have the advantage of basic medical care as well as emergency training and experience. Able to medicate and am familiar with all basic veterinary pharmaceuticals. Familiar with cardiac conditions, diabetes, arthritic pets, seniors, puppies; you name it! Most of my time was spent in Ga pet sitting/walking/caring for and I can offer plenty of references. Would love to offer my assistance!

Sarah was a lifesaver! She was able to step in at the last minute to care for our elderly dog when we had to take an unexpected trip. She was friendly, flexible, and easy to correspond with, and it was comforting to know she had medical experience and wasn't afraid to deal with our geriatric, quirky little buddy.

Sarah is a stellar pet companion who has taken care of our dog and cats. Our most shy cat immediately warmed up to Sarah, assuring us our fur babies are in good hands.

Sarah was very kind to Duke and Dizzy, and she was very patient with me. The kitties are new to being on medication, so I was quite nervous about leaving them for a few days. Sarah sent me several updates and photos during her stay, putting me at ease. I highly recommend her!

We have 4 cats that are individually fed three times daily with one getting daily medications. We also have a roommate with a dog that I help walk and feed.

And yes, I have more than enough time and individual love for your pet(s)!!!!

Information Sarah Y. would like to know about your pet

What their commands are. Anything that they’re timid/nervous about. Any sensitivities they may have (older dogs being arthritic, food allergies, etc). What makes them really excited for positive reinforcement

A typical day

I love to know what your individual pet enjoys and provide that enrichment! Catch, tug of war, positive reinforcement, etc. I am more than happy to make sure they’re having fun!
