About the caregiver

I've been around animals my entire life, including owning a German Shepherd for 13 years, fostering cats, and caring for an assortment of reptiles, rodents and birds. I attended Penn Foster to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. I have almost half a decade of experience in Veterinary Medicine, from monitoring pets during surgical procedures, administering medication, performing blood work and vaccines, to being promoted to Lead Veterinary Technician and Head of Canine and Feline Nutrition, topics I'm extremely passionate about. I also run a small business baking high-quality, low-ingredient healthy dog and cat treats. I also have managed a luxury dog hotel, so providing amazing care for your fur babies is second nature! I've been dogsitting and walking dogs for over 15 years, starting when I was a teenager with my family's dogs, then branching out towards friend's and neighbor's dogs as well. I've walked fit-in-your-purse-sized dogs to dogs that look like polar bears! I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish and horses, along with a plethora of rodents and exotics. too, and can care for them while you are away confidently. While working in the veterinary hospital, I have become extremely knowledgeable and comfortable with all pets. I am very in tune to that and am also certified in fear-free training methods to help ease any pet's uneasiness! I cannot wait to meet your pet!
