Pet Sitter in Vancouver, British Columbia

I like working with animals, owners, and co-workers, because I value the social aspect of doing things together as a team, so we can all learn from each other. I have experience leading group hikes, pet boarding/sitting, and of course the individual interaction with my own three pets. My personal philosophy is a balanced approach honouring animals’ nature, and respecting each animal’s special temperament and unique personality. Some of my relevant skills include: o St. John Ambulance (BC and Yukon) Therapy Dog Certificate o Pet First Aid o Canadian Kennel Club Canine Good Neighbour Certification o Dr. Ian Dunbar’s Sirius Dog Instructor’s Course, and a number of Dr. Roger Abrantes and Michael Ellis seminars SUNWOOD HOLISTIC VETERINARY HOSPITAL, 3025 Lougheed Hwy, Coquitlam o coordinating appointments and record keeping o scheduling spays/neuters and routine vaccination/de-worming exams o ordering supplies and merchandise for retail sales o assisting in surgery and radiology procedures, restraining dogs and cats, communicating with owners HASTINGS PARK RACECOURSE, 188 Renfrew St. N, Vancouver o maintaining the stable, grooming, feeding, and handling horses o assisting with medical treatment, health-care, and training QUILCHENA STABLES, No 9 Rd., Richmond o maintaining the barn, feeding, handling horses o transporting horses
