I don't remember a time I did not work with animals. I volunteered with the head of the board of my hometown humane society since I was 5 years old. We would trap and rescue stray cats. I began working at a veterinary hospital at age 13, as a veterinary assistant and receptionist as I got older. I have continued doing this at a few other clinics in different cities. I currently have worked at the same veterinary clinic for 9 years. I have both canine and feline knowledge and experience administrating oral and injectable medications, such as insulin, and applying ear and eye medication. I can give subcutaneous fluids to all kinds of animals, including pocket pets. I have great sympathy and patience when it comes to getting your older/elderly cat to eat, especially when they don't want to. I am not afraid to assist your older small or big dog walking outside to go potty when their arthritis is bad. Caring for your pet recovering from surgery or other medical procedures can be scary, but I am willing to go the extra mile for them. One other thing, doing toenail trims with a clipper or dremel gives me extreme joy! In 2012 I became a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, through the Animal Behavior College. I specialize working with puppy mill rescues and trauma related aggressive dogs of all ages and sizes. I will also do standard obedience training. Over the years my passions have grown. I am going to school to pursue a career as an Animal Cruelty Investigator. My schedule allows me to have 4 days off a week, including Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. I have a full time and part time job. I also take college online courses. I take care of my own fur pets, 2 dogs, 1 cat and a guinea pig. I also enjoy the thrill and excitement of providing my care to all sorts of other pets. I would enjoy either long term set schedules or flexibility. I am open to anything. I will accept smaller dogs into my home. I have a home with extra bedrooms so your dog can have it's own digs if needs a rest time after lots of playing. If your pet is registered at a dog park I will be happy to take there.
