Experienced Veterinary Student
Pet care experience
Hello, I am a first-year veterinary student at OVC! I have experience walking and caring for high-energy and reactive dogs at the humane society and have worked in a variety of large and small animal veterinary clinics. I believe wholeheartedly in positive, fear-free handling of all animals and as a vet student my continuing education in animal care, behavior, and health aids in improving my handling skills. I have worked with a wide variety of animals including reptiles, rabbits, cats, senior and juvenile dogs, and horses. I am CPR-certified for both cats and dogs and can administer both oral and injectable medications as required.
Reviews
Summer is a top care provider! She was able to help take care of Dexter on short notice without hesitation. She was on time and left a detailed report with photos afterwards. I know Dexter had a blast meeting her! Highly recommended!!
Summer was attentive to the high needs of our senior animals including medication administration for a cat and a dog. She provided great updates that made us feel relaxed that our animals were in great care while away. Would highly recommend Summer and will rebook in the future! Thank you.
Summer provided excellent care to my senior dog.
About Summer H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety of the client, owner, and myself is a top priority. I would love to get to know the client and animal before providing care as to ensure an understanding of the animals needs and client desires for care.
Information Summer H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any health complications I need to be mindful of, dietary restrictions or allergies, and sensitivities to other dogs, people, bicycles, or areas of their body they prefer not to be touched (e.g. sore hips).
A typical day
I understand each pet's energy levels and personality differ so would love to find the right activities to fit the health and desire of each pet/client. From a calm slow walk with lots of stops for the pet to investigate different smells, to a more high-energy play session including fetch in the yard or a run. I think it's important to understand the pet and client's needs to maintain a safe and engaging session.
