Reliable Vet Tech for your Pet🏳️‍

Pet care experience

( Attn: reoccurring clients as my growth on this platform goes up so do my prices. If this ever becomes a concern for those that book with me regularly. Please reach out to work out a discount or locked rates!! Happy to keep my clients happy!) HELLO ! 🐾💕 Firstly, thank you for even considering me to watch over your fur friend(s) ! When the opportunity arises to discuss or possibly be with your fur friend I will make absolute sure they are in great care! I can take on any size dog and any cat that comes my way(including EXOTICS I.e, Rabbits, Mice, Guinea pigs, Birds etc) Going on vacation? Visiting family for the holidays? Going out for the evening? No worries!! I accept same day bookings and late notice drop ins if needed! Your pet is treated with the upmost care and compassion! I believe animal care is a life style of passion, not a 9-5 job. I love all animals, all sizes and breeds (no animal preferences here) ! My intelligence / patiences on animal behavior and animal CARE sets me aside from all the others! I will ENSURE the safety of your (fur)ends and provide the ultimate care possible while under my supervision! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
MY CREDENTIALS : 🦮🐈💕 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • I have extensive experience working at an animal shelter I use to volunteer at where I took on the responsibility of caring after several dogs/puppies and cats/kittens daily! • I currently work as a Veterinarian Technician! I’m still working on my education to pursue higher goals in this field. Currently station at a hospital around the South St location. 

I’ve worked in ER, and now I’m doing general practice work. • I have experience in administering medicine for both doggos and cattos! 🐶🐱💉 • I grew up with farm animals so taking care of animals outside of dogs/cats is within my wheel house as well! 🐔🐰🐹 • I have 10+ years of experience with animals, from dog to cats! Working at shelter has taught me what to look for in terms of behavior, aggression, fearful, etc. NO animal is complicated. Different pets need different approaches and patients above all! This includes special need pets/senior dogs /cats! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was my second time using Saul and I’ll be back again in the future! He does great with my very anxious senior dog and I feel so much better knowing he is in good hands when I’m away.

I regret to leave a 2-star review for Saul as he failed to fullfil his commitment while we were out of country. He made brief 3-4 minute visists, clearly prioritizing overbooking over the well-being of my pet. We worked with him in the past and were happy but the unreliability in the last sitting was very disappointing.

Saul is amazing! I have a special needs cat with behavior challenges and Saul is a miracle worker in Giving his meds and making sure he is very well cared for. Highly recommend.

Saul was great! It was the first time we were away from her and I felt completely comfortable having Saul check in. He was sweet, communicative and I came back to a very excited and happy kitty ? Thanks again, Saul! Will definitely be booking again if I ever need my sweet girl looked after while I’m away!

Information Saul H. would like to know about your pet

A heads up for dog triggers are always helpful! Pulling, reactive, squirrel/cat triggers, mail man triggers, can your dog cross path with another dog without being reactive? Their favorite activities? Ways to win your pet over! Things you try at home to establish trust is always plus to make your pet most comfortable! Basically anything your pet loves or hates while in my care or on walks! Again outside leash is always on. Of course this goes for feline friends as well!

A typical day

I typically will ask the owners if they know lovely park that’s pet friendly , near by an animal hospital (multiple) ! Responsible owners, even with weight limits for smaller breeds for safety!I also can use any nearby areas for amazing calming (or high energy work out) walks! Always on leash no matter what, safety first! Always supervised! I come with my own water dispenser (cleaned well in-between clients )and poop bags, treats (Vet recommend only) to ensure your pet is well taken care of and I’ll even bring toys provided by local Vet ER hospitals that are pet friendly!

WANT TO MEET BEFORE BOOKING? 💕🐱🐶 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If requested we can schedule a meeting before any schedule drop ins- walks to ensure your pet is safe with me! I come prepare with treats and toys to make your fur friend comfortable! I take the time to try to get know each and every pet so any additional info on how to win your fur friend over is typically ideal to know before any meet & greets! 
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
MY AVAILABILITY : 📆 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have more availability during the weekend Sunday (all day), and Saturday evenings. I can only do mornings or late evenings during the week days (6:30am-7:30am) or (7pm to however late). I do work long hours a my main job at a Veterinarian Hospital. Because of this, I have to be gone anywhere from 8-10hours hours Monday through Saturday. ( I usually work 4 days a week) Ideally pets that can be left alone for AT LEAST 8+ hours at a time tend to work better around my availability! There are days where I can do earlier drops in , with those days I’ll communicate with you to ensure you an early drop-in is alright with you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MY SAFTEY PRECAUTIONS 🏥😷 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Safety is on the TOP of my priorities list. I will treat your (fur)end like my own! I will not allow any opportunities to arise that would put your pet in danger or harm. I carry with me medical supplies for first aid treatment if needed. I communicate with clients every step of the way if an emergency ever does arise during my supervision. I will take the time to find any local ER near you before any visit to ensure a route to a ER. If I feel the need to take your pet with me during my day to day activities or outings. I will make sure to ask owner permission before hand! I will absolutely never leave your pet without leash under my supervision!! I’ll double check all entries are locked and ensure your pets safety while I’m not there to the best I can. I’ll even crate your pet if instructed! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **💉I’am FULLY VACCINATED** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I can provide proof of vaccinations/boosters if needed!
