Pet care experience
Hello! I have three years experience working professionally in the pet care industry as a dog bather, grooming apprentice, doggy day care attendant, a manager at a doggy dog care facility, and I am currently working as a veterinary assistant! After working with pets so long, I have the passion and the knowledge to provide the utmost safety and care for your furry friend, dog or cat, no matter what needs they may require. I am trained in animal behavior, administration of medicine and injections, fractious cats, anxious animals, CPR certified, etc. (Attached in the gallery are just a few of the dogs I watch on a regular basis)
About Keirsten H.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Unfortunately, I do not offer services in my home. However, with my 4 year experience in professional pet care, I have the knowledge to recognize when your pet is scared, hungry, happy, angry, sad, fearful, playful, etc and I know how to handle each and every unique situation. For example; your pet is playful, so we play! Your pet is fearful, so we take it slow and be sure to not cross any boundaries. Your pet is tired, so we cuddle! Etc.

Information Keirsten H. would like to know about your pet
Some important things I would like to know about your dog is most importantly, do they take any medications? Do they have any health issues I need to watch out for? I also value knowing your dogs temperament and play style.
A typical day
What my typical day to day looks like when caring for a pet varies on the type of pet I have. If I have a very high energy dog we will go for LOTS of walks, play with toys, run around, play tug of war, etc. If I have a more mellow tempered dog, I will try and encourage them to play. If they refuse, I will accept that boundary and find other ways to engage with your pet. Maybe they’d like some cuddles, maybe they need a nap, or maybe they just want to be left alone, which is fine!
