Jacqueline K. Pet Care Provider in Helotes, TX 78023

Hi, my name is Jacqueline. I offer a variety of services for your little furbabies. I currently have a service dog who goes almost everywhere with me due to my medical conditions. However, I do have additional help with him, so I am able to take care of others' animals as well without his involvement if necessary. I also have 2 cats and a few kittens, so we have a well rounded home.

My primary background is as a healthcare provider, with my secondary background being in the animal world. I became a certified dog trainer and provided dog training and service dog training throughout Texas and in Idaho. I Incorporated the positive use of animals in health treatment for people, but have decided to take a break from people and focus on furbabies for awhile.

In addition to having experience in Behavioral training, I also have extensive background with basic medical care. I am NOT a Vet or vet tech, but through significant medical issues that surrounded my first baby girl (epilepsy, hip dysplasia, and several others), in addition to the cancer that took my recent service dog, I gained a lot of basic medical skills in addition to my knowledge from my own healthcare background. As such, I can administer IVs, can administer medications, I am NOT certified in pet CPR/First aid. However, I keep a pet first aid kit with me, and have performed pet first aid several times (including recently assisting my cat with delivery of kittens, removing the sac, and getting fluids out of the kittens airways). At my home, I have a much more extensive supply of items for animal emergencies.

I treat other people's furbabies as if they were my own. That being said, I am very big on texting updates or doing write-ups so people know their babies were visited. I like to have copies of medical information : Veterinarian information should something go wrong (and I can transport), Vet records, and Emergency Contact.

One of the biggest pieces though is goodness of fit. Your furbaby has to be comfortable with me and so do you. Sometimes it's just not a good fit, and the last thing that either you or your furbaby need are extra stress.

Some of the services which I provide include:
* pet visits- feeding, spending time with your pet, etc.
*Pet walks
*Pet sitting in your home (this would require my service dog with me though) or in my home
*Transportation to the Vet, etc

My prices are negotiable to the situation, distance, etc. I wasn't able to enter a range.
