What you can expect for our visit
Here you will find information that will let you know what to expect for our first visit.
I do my absolute best to arrive on time. Due to the nature of mobile work, I do ask for a 1 HOUR window. If I am running late I will let you know and I will always text with an ETA when I am on my way.
I don’t wear scrubs to appointments. I find that animals are more comfortable with me when I am not in uniform. It's a simple thing I can do to make the visit more enjoyable for them.
When I arrive for the first visit, we will chat a bit for me to get to know your pet a little better, and for them to sniff and check me out. I like to exist in their space for a little bit before jumping right into it. I will more than likely sit on the floor (on their level) and there will be lots of treats as long as that is ok with you. I only use high grade ethically sourced treats. For the kitty patients I do offer homegrown organic catnip from my own garden. >^..^<
I am happy to accommodate special requests. Just let me know what they are and I will do my best to oblige. I prefer to perform the tasks necessary wherever your pet is most comfortable.

🐾 Appointments are made in time blocks. Due to the nature of mobile work; traffic, appointments taking longer than expected or going quicker than expected, your flexibility is greatly appreciated. If you cannot be home during the entire time window, please let me know ahead of time.
