Animal Science Graduate Student!

Pet care experience

I have been working with animals since I could. I started horseback riding at four years old and decided I wanted to be a Veterinarian. Fast forward and I have graduated from UConn’s prestigious animal science program! I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant for small privately owned Veterinary practices before and countinue to strive for fantastic animal welfare as I would only trust the best with my own animals. Even something as ‘simple’ as dog walking is something I am picky about choosing personally. I will take fantastic care of your dog/animals because this is not a job for me! I love animals and I love to be around them and ensure they get the best care. I volunteer weekly at Pet Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in Norwalk and anything I can do to take care of animals in the best way possible, I love to do it! I have since moved to Texas to pursue my graduate degree in animal science. Animals are my biggest passion so I’ve tailored my life around them and will provide astounding care to yours! I currently attend graduate school for animal science so I would be able to fit in your pets around my classes and research. Because my schedule has many open blocks of time, I can be attentive to your pet throughout the day! I will take care of your pet(s) to the best of my ability and follow your instructions to ensure your pet has an easy transition while you're gone! I love going on walks and hikes and would love to take your pet out on an adventure! I always keep in contact while you're gone and love sending pictures of your babies. My schedule is typically very flexible around my research! I keep my calendar as up to date as possible and am willing to work with you and your pets to ensure they get the best care! I do not take care of clients pets in my home, however I am willing to go to your home and check in on your pets (or stay over) as often as needed.

Information Kirsten Z. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know as much as you’d like to offer about your dog (or other animals) so I can be aware of their necessities and what they are used to so I can provide them with a calm and fun experience!

A typical day

I'm always down for walks around your neighborhood or even taking your pups out for a dog-friendly hike around the area. My own apartment is across the street from a state walking trail and a small dog-friendly lake! Even in your home your dog (or kitties!) can expect a game of fetch, tug of war or just relaxing by the TV.
