Hello! I am Jessica, the owner and founder of Chez Miaou. As an animal lover, caring for animals has always been my calling. My passion for animals led me on a journey through veterinary medicine. Born and raised in the United States, I went to a university where I obtained my degree in veterinary technology and became a licensed veterinary technician. Later I completed an additional two years of training to become one of the first Veterinary Technician Specialists (VTS) in canine and feline medicine in all of North America. During my 20 year career, I worked in the top veterinary ICU and ERs in the US and Canada. Additionally, I have donated hundreds of hours of my free time to local animal rescue organizations.
I have recently retired from veterinary medicine, but my devotion for helping animals and their people continues. I founded Chez Miaou to fulfill my deep need of caring for animals and to offer expert service to pet families. I am professional, trustworthy, hardworking, and most of all highly skilled at caring for animals. I have a special fondness for senior pets and quirky animals. I am very comfortable and knowledgeable attending to pets with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and much more.
I am a newcomer to Quebec, along with my husband, two children, and four guinea pigs. We love Montreal, as it has been such a welcoming place. I am excited to get to know you and your precious pets. I am currently learning French (beginner intermediate level), so please feel free to correct me when I make mistakes with my spoken French. I hope to meet you soon!
