A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
Lisa Charity, RVT
Owner
Since I was young I’ve always loved animals — both learning about and taking care of them. I went to university at Nipissing University where I attained my BSc in Biology. After university, I enrolled at Algonquin College in the Veterinary Technician Program, and in May of 2016, I graduated from the program and then attained my status as a Registered Veterinary Technician in July of 2016. I began Rest Your Paws Pet Care in 2018 after working in a couple of different clinics and not being satisfied with that area of work. I was looking to get out of the clinic atmosphere and help pet parents in a different way and now have the opportunity to share my love of animals with my clients and pet owners all over the North Bay area. I have experience with a variety of different animals ranging from your typical cats and dogs to the more exotic pets like ferrets and parrots. I am professionally trained to give various forms of medications including needles and certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. I hope I get the chance to meet you and your lovely pet(s) soon.

Amanda has always loved animals and dreamt of working with them as a child. She completed a Bachelor of Environment with a Minor in Biology. From there she spent a decade working with native and exotic species in a variety of zoos and educational programming across Ontario.
