** DISCOUNT FOR HEALTHCARE WORKERS AND BLACK PEOPLE** I'm a recent graduate working full time at a veterinary center, looking to care for cats and dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and behaviors. Given that I am working full time (with a variable schedule), I am not looking to book daily/weekly repeating walks, but more of as needed or vacation stays. My experience includes training and caring for my family's shelter pup, Domino, for five years, house sitting pets (and children) for friends and family, dog walking all over Manhattan, and volunteering at an animal shelter downtown. Currently, I am working at Worth Street Veterinary Center, where I have worked for 2 years and counting. My on-the-job training as a veterinary technician gives me tons of experience that many people do not have access to. This includes working with aggressive dogs, all sizes and breeds, mean cats, and new puppies and kittens. Additionally, I am adept at ear cleanings, face cleanings, medical baths or soaking, applying topical medications, and administering injectable medications. Cutting nails can be difficult by myself, but I can definitely give it a try if needed. I've taken care of young animals, senior animals, animals with disabilities, and animals with a variety of temperaments. I'm extremely good at communicating promptly and with detail. I've spent all my life with dogs, and know how to read their body language. Everything that could be an issue with a dog, Domino has- peeing in the house, barfing in the mornings, choking on food, picking up chicken bones from the street, barking at everything and anything, being shy at first contact, biting, whining, following commands, and more. And I know how to deal with it all.
