Hello! I’m Taylor (also known as “Allie”) and I am a Pet CPR-Certified Veterinary Nurse. I’m known as “The Cat Nurse” and have a website following my rescue work and fostering under the same name (.org). I have 22 total years of experience with animals, including raising and caring for personal pets, volunteering at humane societies, rescuing and fostering, managing and caring for feral cat colonies, being a veterinary nurse, completing a year of veterinary assisting school, and creating a kitten sanctuary / non-profit rescue. I received my Pet CPR certification from Animal Behavior College, and I'm currently working towards earning an Associate’s degree in veterinary technology from Ashworth College (my third degree in progress), and I'm planning on applying to veterinary school upon completion. I graduated in 2015 from ASU with a B.A. degree in French linguistics and a B.A. in creative writing. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I spent the last year and a half working as a veterinary technician at an animal hospital and I absolutely love my career. I get to spend time with animals and take care of them every day! Whether I’m assisting in a surgery, drawing up vaccines, or simply weighing a new puppy, I am always patient, kind, enthusiastic, positive, and hard-working. I have also spent years raising kittens (as young as 2 days old, if abandoned) and fostering / rescuing feral cats. I’ve spent the last three years taking care of one feral cat colony in particular called the Riverside Cat Colony. My fiancé Jerry and I have also started a non-profit called Dahlia’s Kitten Sanctuary for abandoned neonatal kittens. I have great personal hygiene; I am a cleanly person (as in, I won't make messes in your home and I will clean up after puppy/dog messes), and I am not squeamish around animal bodily functions (yes, I pick up poop!). In the event of something happening where your dog needs medical attention, I can provide first aid and transport your dog to the vet for immediate care. I love dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes! I have experience with various breeds/ages/sizes/medical needs (from pet sitting and from my career as a vet nurse). Edit: I am currently available each day of the week, morning through afternoon. Thank you for your consideration -- I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)!
