As part of affirming my interest in small animals as a veterinary student, off-site involvements such as pet sitting/boarding would help me much. No experience as a pet sitter but worked as a veterinary nurse back in Singapore at a small animal clinic for 4 years. Have animal handling experience with rabbits, cats, dogs, and hamsters. Prices are negotiable and currently not taking any pets for boarding.
I worked as a veterinary nurse in a small animal clinic while undertaking undergraduate studies. Besides animal nursing and handling, performing radiograph imaging, blood smearing, venipuncture, and subcutaneous injections are among the duties carried out. I was also involved in procedures such as colon evacuations, and anesthetic monitoring for surgeries. I learned within the first week of joining that animal handling is an essential skill that I lacked, without it, there was basically not much I could do. Watching from one side and subsequently practicing on the clinic-owned cats and dogs was how I learned and adapted. Thus, in my honour’s year, I took on the opportunity to liaise with the university and the clinic on a 5-month accredited Final Year Internship programme. Previously, my work in the clinic was irregular as I had to juggle with my academics while working. This slowed down my learning pace due to lack of consistency and prevented me from bonding with clients as I only see them once or twice. The internship however filled in these gaps. Work became my priority over academics as it involved only a final report and presentation which I could do after work. I was able to bond with clients as they come for reviews, follow through the cases, feel the work stress, practice client communication, and most importantly, learnt the most.

This is our second time booking with Fan. He is a reliable and caring pet sitter who made the most of his visits with our cat. Really appreciate the photos and videos as well. Thank you, Fan for taking such great care of Thor. He was calm and relaxed when we got home.
Fan Rui was a caring and conscientious support for our lonely cat, Minnie, as we travelled overseas for a week. He takes the time to learn all he can about your pet, and spends the time to form a relationship with you and your fur-child. He kept our cat well fed, took care of all toileting issues, and spent the time to play with our cat each day so it wouldn't feel alone. Highly recommended pet- sitter!
