Experienced Veterinarian Assistant

Hello potential clients! My name is Kris, this has asked me what sets me apart from other dog walkers/house sitters? Well I have Veterinarian Assistant experience. I volunteered at the Humane Society and helped the Veterinarian as a Veterinarian Assistant/Technician at an Animal Shelter with various care of the animals not just Dogs and Cats either but also have experience with Birds, Snakes, Lizards, Cows, Horses, Chickens etc. I had to groom them, feed them, clean their enclosures, help with medications. I was told by all staff that I have a natural calm nature that animals love and was able to calm even the most aggressive of them and the Veterinarian always called me by name to help as he would prefer me to work with him over other staff members because I knew what I was doing, how to act, and how to listen to direction. I did in fact leave them but not because I wanted too but I wanted to finish my University Degree. I am educated, graduated, in between careers right now and would love to take care of your animals and home whatever they might be or need. I have owned a couple birds, about 3 dogs, and over 10 cats. Right now it is just me looking at getting a rescue cat here before to long as soon as I find a stable career for my furry family. Rest assured your pets and home will be looked after, taken care of, loved, and treated with proper care and direction from you the owner! Look forward to meeting you and thank you for the opportunity to look after your furry, feathered, or scaly family! Meet and greets will be a non-refundable fee to reserve the appointment. All potential clients can use the "schedule a visit" feature through the Rover app. If you move forward with booking, the fee is credited toward your total stay/service.

Kris did an amazing job watching our dogs and caring for our home. He had good communication, kept the dogs routines and cleaned up after himself including washing the sheets and making the bed where he slept. He sat for us before, and we will definitely use him again.

Kris was super patient and took the time to wait for responses, even though we were busy with family. It was very kind to not mind extended the visit window just to be sure everything was taken care of correctly

Kris was amazing! He was available for a last minute check in which was super helpful! He was super communicative and flexible, and incredibly responsive the whole time, and made sure our pup got to play outside instead of just in and out. I look forward to the next time, I won't hesitate to rebook!

Kris was very communicative and flexible. I very much appreciate his willingness to come out to our small town to take care of our cats in the unpredictable winter!

Kris did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs while we were out of state for a few days. We received daily pics and updates that provided us with peace mind that they were behaving themselves. He also took care of the house and left it in great condition. Highly recommend! Will definitely ask him back for future dogsitting needs.

I would love to know your dog(s) and/or cat(s) behaviors, if they are special needs/have a disability, do they need to be monitored, are they escape artists etc. Inform me of your dogs personality traits and what they love to do and are comfortable with and we can go from there. I have yet to meet a dog or cat who is beyond the measure of “walking” “taking care of” and/or “house sitting” for.
