I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who also has a Bachelor's in Science with a concentration in Pre-Vet from UW-Parkside. I also played 5 years of collegiate DII Soccer, and still play soccer to this day, so if you have a more energetic dog, I am willing to go on long walks and runs to get them tuckered out! In my previous experience, I have completed a 260+ hour internship at the Racine Zoo where I was able to assist in daily husbandry, diet preparation and delivery, exhibit maintenance, behavioral enrichment preparation, animal observations, and informal educational interactions with Zoo guests. I then went on to work at the Racine Zoo where I was the Farm and Aviary Keeper. I am currently a Certified Veterinary Technician at the Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) and I have been working there for 5 years now. At WHS, I assist in the medical care of the shelter animals like administering meds (orally, subcutaneously, intravenous, and intramuscular), sedating and prepping animals for surgery (spay, neuter, amputations, dentals, etc), monitoring vital signs during surgeries, collecting samples for tests such as urine, fecal matter, blood, etc, assisting the vets with diagnosing animals by reading fecal, blood, urine samples as well as taking X-Rays, helping the vets diagnose and treat conditions, and administering vaccines. I have had many animals in my life such as cats, dogs, birds, and hamsters. I currently own 3 cats and two 2 year old Siberian huskies. Before booking a house-sitting with me, I want to let you know my work schedule. I do work 6am-4pm Monday, Wednesday-Friday. I have off on the weekends. If me working 4 - 10 hour days is fine with your pets schedule, I would love to meet you and take care of your pets!
