I have 8 years of veterinary experience pet-sitting experience. I was a veterinary assistant at a small animal practice in North Carolina (where I'm from) for almost 7 years before moving to Lubbock to begin a PhD program. I've now been here for 2 years and have been building my reputation as a pet sitter, especially for cats, in Lubbock. As an assistant, my biggest passion was client education. I also had several pet-sitting clients from working at the animal hospital. Furthermore, I grew up on a meat goat farm, but we also had horses, guineas, rabbits, chickens, and beef cattle (and even a donkey and an eel at one point!). I do have 2 cats of my own, and our feline friends hold a special place in my heart. I've watched dogs, cats, chinchillas, rabbits, birds, horses, goats, cattle, chickens, so if you have other pets, I am happy to watch them as well. In the veterinary world, I've had experience working with just about every dog and cat breed around, including a variety of ages, medications, and special needs. I also have experience administering subcutaneous fluids and injections and medication administration for dogs and cats in both pill, liquid, inhaler, and transdermal forms. I require a meet and greet prior to doing any visit for new clients and/or pets. This allows me to meet you and your pet(s) together so you can show me around. One meet and greet is free, but any additional meetings will require my normal drop-in rates. Key drop offs/pickups may require an additional fee.
