Hello, my name is Sydney. I am a registered veterinary technician. I am a very loving, caring, human being and have years of experience with animals. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I have raised and bred Purebred CKC registered Saint Bernards puppies (some puppies participated in the Beethoven movies). I have experience with obedience training as well as I run my own kennel business. I am very gentle and have a fear free approach to working with all animals. I am highly skilled in my profession and expertise in animal behaviour. My academic qualifications include: B.A Major in Psychology from UBC Okanagan Diploma in Animal Health Technology from Olds College Animal Welfare Certificate from TRU Animal training and pet sitting certificate Pet Nutrition Certificate Animal Care certificate Animal psychology certificate Veterinary support certificate Hill’s Pet wellness certificate Fear free shelter certification Fear free pets certification Please message me for my availability. I can accommodate bookings on weekdays, weekends and in holidays. I accept short and long term services and stays. I have expansive knowledge in animal husbandry, enrichment, caring, and nutrition. I have a fenced back yard to allow time for outdoor activity as well as I’m willing to travel to you. Growing up on a farm I have learned how to balance my professional life with the life at home. Being a registered veterinary technician, I understand the needs of pets and their owners. I have developed a lifestyle and career that evolve around animal care. Everyday I am caring for animals and I work hard to provide enrichment to the animals that I come across. Being an active outdoor person, I enjoy taking dogs on extended walks multiple times a day. During the pets stay, I also incorporate basic dog training upon the request of the owner. As a registered veterinary technician, I have studied enrichment, care, nutrition, medication, disease, behaviour and training to name a few. I understand the needs of a pet, I have many walking routes where I can take your pet on a short or extended walk. I have an outdoor grass fenced area. If you prefer I come to the comfort of your own home, I am available for house sitting. I pay attention to what the owner wants, I have a thorough discussion on what the pet’s routine is, and then I do my best to ensure I am following that routine. I provide the uttermost care, love and enrichment to all animals I meet.
