Hello there! I am a veterinary student at the Royal Veterinary College and am in my final year and I graduate in July of this year!!! Right now I am interested in specializing in Emergency Medicine for small animals. I am an "international student" from America and I live in the UK full time. I have one hamster named Henry with me right now. My family has two dogs back home in America that I miss and I facetime with them on occassion.

I have been around animals my whole life, whether it was my own pets, other people's pets, or wild animals at rescue centers. I have worked in and around the veterinary field for around nine to ten years now so I have a lot of experience with pets in all different types of situations. I started out in a kennel that was attached to veterinary clinic while in high school. In high school I attended "trade classes" and became a certified Veterinary Assistant. I left my job in the kennel and attended Virginia Wesleyan University and graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Biology. While in university though I internshiped at a zoo and a tiger rescue. During the summers I would work as a veterinary assistant and a pet sitter. After graduating university I took a year between university and vet school to work at an emergency veterinary clinic and a wildlife education center.

Now that I am in veterinary school I would like a way to hang out with pets and make some money on the side as well. I can offer dog walking, feeding, play time visits, and overnight "sleep overs" with your pet. I do know how to bath and brush dogs but I am not a groomer but if you want your dog bathed then I can do that. Unfortunately my current place does not allow pets so I would be going to your house for the visits and I don't have a car either. I know how to give medications if your pet requires medications.
