Pet care experience
Being a licensed veterinary technician in a specialty and emergency hospital for 18 years gives me the skills to take care of all types of pets, especially those with medical needs. I work Wednesday to Saturday 8am to 6pm. I got into this profession because I adore animals and want to dedicate my life to their well being. I feel very comfortable administering many types of medications as i do on a daily basis at work. This includes oral, intramuscular, subcutaneous, transdermal, and intravenous routes. When you higher me, being a medical professional, you get a greater standard of care. I am reliable, dependable, and will give your pet the greatest care in the convenience of your home! Some background on me...I have been working as a Veterinary Technician since 2005 and obtained my certification in 2010. I enjoy working at a prestigious emergency and specialty animal hospital and possess great medical knowledge and skills. I am a 2008 graduate from Rutgers University with bachelor degrees in both Animal Science and Wildlife Conservation. Since being a young child i have been a huge animal lover and have always enjoyed taking care of family pets including cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, a bird and a hamster. Growing up, my family had a Golden Retriever/Irish Setter mix named Brandy. My grandmother had 10+ dogs over the years that surrounded me growing up. My aunt had a Rottweiler that I loved. Our family dog Apollo who was Golden Retriever/American Bulldog mix just passed away this year. My mom currently has a 9 year old cat named Klaus. I have always had a lot of compassion for all animals and knew I wanted to dedicate my life to their care and well being. Meet my pets "Chauncey" A big orange boy who loves basking in the sun, ferociously playing with his toys, and trying new food. I treat him for diabetes and kidney disease. My hours at work are Wednesday to Saturday 8am to 6pm. If that sounds like it will work for you let's make some time to talk! When you higher me, being a medical professional, you get a greater standard of care. I am reliable, dependable, and will give your pet the greatest care in the convenience of your home!
Reviews
Shay was great with all our fuzzy kids, and managed to keep our youngest entertained (never an easy feat!). She was very responsive to our check ins, and would send pictures during the weekend to check in. Would definitely book again!!
Shayna is terrific. On time, responsible, kept in touch with me and let me know if she had any questions. Took great care of my dog. Will use her again!
Shay was wonderful and had great communication throughout her stay. Our one dog just had surgery and we felt very at ease with her being with him and administering his medications. We already have her booked for a future date!
When I read Shay's background and reviews I felt she would be the perfect fit for me and my fur babies. She is not only smart, caring and knowledgeable in all types of dogs but I also trust her in my home for any length of time. Coincidentally, in talking to her I knew someone that she works with. To her attribute, in talking to this veterinarian nurse she gave Shay accolades as a professional vet tech and how awesome she was! Shay is the real deal and I would recommend her any day!
