Amabel M. Pet Care Provider in Santa Fe, NM 87505

I have accumulated a very good amount of experience over the past few years in hands-on animal care as boarding staff at an animal hospital for two years. There I learned to administer medication - including injecting insulin - and signs to watch for in an ill animal. I am inclined to have much attention to detail in day to day life, and working a job where I had to scrutinize when medications were taken, observing and recording behaviors and feeding times and following schedules to let animals out as well as clean up thoroughly after them, should there be any mess, is easily a rhythm I fall into when caring for animals.

Even before working with animals, I have had my own experience owning personal pets (a cat and a dog, and formerly a horse) and caring for them, as well as a voracious interest in reading about animals and their specific care and behaviors from books and forums. I have a very conscious respect for any animal and their personal space, and I know the signs to keep from bothering an animal if they are uncomfortable, or if something is wrong.

While I do not have official in-job grooming experience with bathing and grooming, I know well how to bathe a dog and have experience in giving simple shave haircuts to small dogs.

I have a full resume I am happy to show to anyone interested, just let me know.
