Vet tech to love&care for your pets

Pet care experience

UPDATE: I now have opened up boarding for 1-2 dogs from the same family in my own home. Preferably low energy dogs that are used to being home alone during work hours. Must be up to date on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccines AND must be spayed/neutered! I currently work from home for a company that sells veterinary supplements. For the past 6 years, I worked at vet hospitals in Doylestown, Perkasie and Buckingham. And before that, I worked at the Bucks County SPCA. Each day working with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels! In one day's work, I'd make sure each dog/cat would get the proper mental and physical exercise, socialization and human interaction/affection they need. I also would make sure they get their nutritional needs and medications (oral, injectable, topical) in the proper dosage. In addition, I worked at a PetValu store helping many pet parents find just the right products for their pets. So, if you have any questions or need recommendations, please feel free to ask! Additionally, I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and can provide the same love and care for your pets! I have a lot of experience with dogs that have high anxiety and may show difficult behaviors such as fear or leash aggression, resource guarding, separation anxiety, or just being very shy and nervous in general. I have no problem at all with these dogs so don’t hesitate to contact me. My goal is to make your dog feel happy and safe at all times. I try my best to return everyone's inquiries as soon as possible! Please feel free to reach out multiple times because I am very busy between working at the vet's office and pet sitting and sometimes I forget to answer every inquiry I get. I try my best to replicate your schedule so that your pets feel the least amount of stress as possible.

Kirstyn was wonderful! Our cats loved her and she sent pictures and detailed updates every visit. She was great with handling our one cat’s special dietary needs, and made sure that she didn’t get into our other cat’s food. Very responsive and communicative - would highly recommend!

Kirstyn was absolutely amazing for our dog. We received so many updates throughout her stay and Kirstyn went above and beyond to make sure that our dog was well cared for.

Kirstyn was amazing, she gave me updates and pics! She made sure my dogs ate which can be challenging for my senior pups. I was very happy with her and will use her again! Highly recommend.

Information Kirstyn C. would like to know about your pet

The more information I have about a dog before I spend time with them, the better. That way I can understand them and not upset them upon meeting them. While I do not have any breed restrictions, I would like a heads up on the breed, activity level, and any medical issues of your pet just so I have a better understanding of the dog.

A typical day

I can take your dog to local dog parks in the area. Or we can just stroll around the neighborhood. I can also work on basic training skills and mental stimulation games to make sure your dog is never bored! I can also make sure your dog gets all the rubs he/she needs, all of the shelter dogs can attest that I give the best rubs! I can also offer to bathe your pups! Or if they needs rides to the vet, groomer, or day care appointments.

Currently I’m working from home so I can work from anywhere. I try to replicate your schedule as much as possible so your pets are not stressed. When booking overnight stays, I do still accept other dog walking or drop in visits for other families so their may be times I’m away for a few hours at a time.
