Kristina O. Pet Care Provider in Bridgewater, VA 22812

I have had past experience with fish being a biological lab aid at a USDA Aquatic Animal Health Lab from 2007-2008. I have had dog and cat experience from previous pet ownership (4 dogs and a cat throughout lifetime) as well as being a volunteer for a Humane Society in Maryland where I grew up in the summer of 2010. I have had various pet-sitting duties for other friends during my high school years. For reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals, I gained a fair amount of experience of care and handling while volunteering at the Wildlife Center of Virginia in 2012. Not all of those cared for were wild, but we also cared for the education snakes and turtles that allowed an increasing level of handling. I have also owned 2 hamsters in my lifetime. Even though not handled, I have experience educating others about the biology, benefits, and care of turantulas and scorpions via my position as Conservation Education Presenter in Disney's Animal Kingdom from 2012-2013. Finally, I have just acquired a part-time pet care associate position at Petsmart in Harrisonburg.
I live in Bridgewater with my husband and, because of rental agreement, unfortunately cannot have pets of our own. I love all animals and would love the opportunity to care for yours in whatever capacity or timing needed.
