Scott J. Pet Care Provider in Craig, CO 81625

With over 20 years' combined experience as a stable hand and kennel maintenance worker in upstate New York, Washington and Colorado, I am also a pet owner and have had dogs my entire life. I am not only knowledgeable about taking care of domestic pets and cattle, but truly care about the welfare of animals.

My past experience includes working on various ranches and within horse stables caring for horses, including including examining animals on a general basis to detect illness, injury or disease and report to owners/supervisors. Duties also included ordering and maintaining inventories of food, materials and other related equipment for stables. Inspected, maintained and repaired equipment, machinery, buildings, fences, pens and yards as needed. Moved livestock and equipment from one location to another, manually or using trucks or carts. Responsibilities also entailed cleaning stalls, pens and general facility maintenance.

While working at Blue Mountain Humane Society in Walla Walla, Washington, my Kennel Maintenance Assistant responsibilities included cleaning and maintaining dog kennels and cat areas, as well as feeding the animals. Daily tasks included kennel upkeep, laundry duties, and cleaning kennel bedding. Duties also entailed company vehicle maintenance, running errands and retrieving supplies, as well as bringing animals to and from the veterinarian’s office. Thrift Store Associate duties included sorting items, cleaning electrical appliances, and testing them before they were put out on the floor to sell. Responsibilities included donation runs and transferring donations to the warehouse.

On a personal note, I often worked late hours with dogs who had behavioral problems and were deemed 'undadoptable' and was able to transform their behavior (through patience, experience handling dogs and showing them affection), so that they eventually were adopted into loving homes.
