Tarah B.'s Experience

With my background as a Lead Certified Veterinary Technician, my experience goes beyond basic care. I specialize in the 'tricky' stuff that requires a calm, professional hand. ​Dogs & Cats I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and body language. I specialize in: ​Medical Management: Administering oral medications, insulin injections, or subcutaneous fluids with clinical precision. ​Senior Support: Gentle handling for arthritic pets, mobility assistance, and cognitive support for aging companions. ​High-Anxiety Pets: Using 'fear-free' techniques to build trust with nervous or reactive animals. ​Small Mammals (The 'Exotics') Small herbivores and 'pocket pets' are often misunderstood, but they are a personal favorite of mine. I specialize in: ​Critical Observation: I know that for rabbits and guinea pigs, 'hiding' symptoms is their survival instinct. I am trained to monitor for the earliest signs of GI stasis or respiratory distress. ​Husbandry Excellence: Ensuring proper substrate, humidity, and species-specific diets (especially the high-fiber needs of rabbits and the Vitamin C requirements of guinea pigs). ​Safe Handling: Using specialized techniques to handle fragile small mammals safely and stress-free for nail trims or wellness checks. ​My Specialty: The 'Medically Complex' Pet If your pet has a chronic condition or a complex medication schedule, I am your ideal sitter. I don’t just follow a checklist; I understand the why behind the care, giving you total peace of mind while you’re away.
