Welcome to Kiraberi Pet Care
Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Richelle, Owner & Operator of Kiraberi Pet Care.
Our story started in 2017. My mother who was an RVT (registered vet tech) for over 15 years, created this business.
I was homeschooled for most of my life, therefore I had the opportunity to work alongside Kim (my mother) as her assistant.
In 2022 Kim decided that she wanted to get back into a veterinary clinic and retire from Kiraberi Pet Care.
Throughout the years, acting as Kim's assistant I had gained sufficient experience, knowledge & passion for the business to become the owner.
I've had the privilege of meeting and working with a diverse ensemble of people that each have their own theories, backgrounds, expertise and experiences. In doing so, I have constructed my own strategies, safety precautions and tactics for handling animals over the years. I pride myself on having an open mind towards new ideas that come with the evolving pet care industry.
I have handled and/or trained horses and other livestock, dogs, cats, birds, rodents and reptiles. Having been raised by a veterinary technician as well as my personal interest in medicine and psychology, gave me a unique intuition regarding animals.
I am eager to learn and work to expand my knowledge of all animals on a regular basis. I believe communication and transparency are very important in this line of work. For everyone's safety and comfort there needs to be a clear exchange of information.
With that being said, in order for our services to be a helpful and positive experience there needs to be a certain level of chemistry between every party involved.
​
We are continuously accepting new clientele and expanding our services throughout
Lanark County & Surrounding Areas.
