Pet care experience

Vet technician. Short notice is ok!

I am a seasoned veterinary technician with 10+ years working in the pet industry. You can trust that I am able to handle any special needs your pet may have such as giving daily medication. I am able to recognize if your pet needs medical attention and would know what to do in the event of an emergency. I am certified in CPR for pets. I am also able to assist in regular grooming maintenance such as nail trims. I love taking dogs on long walks and playing with them. I believe that daily exercise is key to a dogs vitality and overall well being. I am certified in “fear-free” training. This means that I am able to recognize signs of stress in pets and respond in ways to help them feel safe and comfortable so that they can have a pleasant experience.

House Sitting • Sep 28, 2025

Vanessa is amazing. I just adopted a rescue two days prior and had separation anxiety, as did I. She also had a seizure condition si so it was so comforting to have someone who knew what was had to be done in case of an emergency. Vanessa put Olivia at ease. She sent me pictures throughout the night. Olivia even followed her to the door when sheleft. She asked such good questions at the start of the night about the emergency syringe and ER if needed. Feel so grateful for her. Highly recommend!
