Specialties

I’m a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) with over 10 years of experience providing compassionate, knowledgeable care for pets. At Valley Pet Medic, I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, pet sitting, and pet care support like dental care, grooming tools and how to, handling tips and tricks etc, all with the added peace of mind that comes from working with a veterinary professional. Whether your pet is young, senior, has special medical needs, or just requires a little extra attention, I provide personalized care based on their unique personality and health. My services are designed to reduce stress for both pets and owners—because I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals. Each visit includes updates, photos, and time-stamped check-ins so you know exactly how your pet is doing. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family—with professional training, patience, and kindness—I’d love to help.

History

Established in 2024.

Valley Pet Medic was founded in 2024 to provide practical, personalized pet care support for families across Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley—from Paradise to Aylesford. With over a decade of hands-on experience as a Registered Veterinary Technician and in animal rescue, I’ve built my services around what pet owners actually need day-to-day. My focus is on helping you feel confident handling and caring for your pets at home. From learning how to brush their teeth and safely handle them for grooming or vet visits, to choosing the right gear and accessories, I offer real-world guidance that makes a difference. Valley Pet Medic also offers structured board and train programs, along with afternoon training sessions designed for confidence building, introductions to daycare, and improving handling skills. Because better handling, better understanding, and the right support lead to happier, more confident pets—and owners too.

Meet the Business Owner: Kiyoko C.

I’m passionate about this work because I’ve seen firsthand how much pets mean to their families—and how overwhelming it can feel when you’re unsure what’s best for them. After years in veterinary clinics and rescue work, I realized many pet owners need more support between appointments: someone who can answer questions, guide them through tough decisions, and help improve their pets’ quality of life at home. For me, it’s not just about animal health—it’s about strengthening the bond between pets and the people who love them. I believe in giving families the tools and knowledge they need to feel confident and empowered in their care. Pets can’t speak for themselves, so being their advocate is work I take to heart every single day.
