Vet Tech, Groomer, and Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I can provide pet sitting, some grooming, drop-in visits and dog walking services. I am an experienced and licensed Vet Tech and certified groomer. I've been in the business of pet sitting for over 4 years now, although for a select few clients. I am now open to expanding and taking care of more furry friends. I've had a love for animals since I was very young and I'm very open to taking care of a variety of pets including ferrets, rats, hamsters, and a variety of other pocket pets not just cats and dogs. I like to say big or small, I love them all. I'm the owner of an adorable 4 year old cat, 2 reptiles, and 3 mischievous ferrets so I live true to my words. Please feel free to ask me any and all questions or to inquire about specific services or needs. Also I have no problem taking care of special needs pets.

On multiple occasions Kalena has stayed at my home and cared for my pets - dogs and cats. They all love her! As a veterinarian I have previously worked with Kalena and found her to be a smart and capable person. I trust her completely and recommend her to everyone.

Safety, trust & environment

I take great pride in my love and dedication to animals. I know every pet needs different amounts of attention and different handling techniques. I love playtime but I also know there's a need for structure for a truly happy and healthy pet.

Information Kalena M. would like to know about your pet

If your dog is cat friendly for one if youd like them to stay for sleep overs. I would like to know if your dog has any certain habits that could cause any concerns on walks, such as if they don't like to socialize with other dogs (I wouldn't ever introduce dogs on a walk, knowing this just keeps me ready if they suddenly get excited or we bump into someone around a corner), if there's certain objects they're frightened of like bikes or children, and any thing else similar. I would also like to know if there's certain places your pup doesn't like touched such as their ears or tail. I also want to know about any medical conditions no matter how insignificant you may think they are, such as a seizure disorder, allergies, diabetes, food allergies or any of the sort.

A typical day

A typical day would depend on your pup of course. I think a good walk is always needed. For senior pups even if it's just to relax on my balcony or for younger ones, a romp in the park. Play time is always a must and relaxing on the couch.
