Experienced Veterinarian Assistant

Pet care experience

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!

While I would always love to take my fur babies along when I travel it’s not always possible. For those times it’s great to know there are loving pet sitters like Kris available. I personally have very shy pets and Kris was able to make them comfortable while I was away. He’s a great communicator by sending daily texts and pictures to keep us updated. He is able to stay with the pets all day which is extremely important to me as I’m retired and the furs are rarely left alone. He is knowledgeable and kind. He also took great care of my home. I highly recommend Kris for wonderful pet care. Thank you Kris

Kris did a wonderful job dogsitting my 2 corgis and was very respectful of my house. This was a last minute reservation and he was prompt in responding and scheduling a greet in time of the reservation. I would recommend him and will schedule again.

Kris has been a God send to us, for my dog, and truly so much more, house-sitting at a rural home in a bad storm and cold! My dog clearly loves him, is more than comfortable, slept right next to him, and my dog has much anxiety when I’m not near him. He spent an abundance of time with him, and truly helped us in so many ways, I don’t for a minute think anyone would have or could have helped my family and animals the way he did, without a hesitation. He sent pictures of my boy, which is HUGE for me, was in communication whenever I sent a text ie a call for any reason. He went over and above in every way, including making sure all was very clean when he left! My only hesitation in writing this is selfish- I don’t want him to be too booked up! We will absolutely be having him do care when we need again! It is an amazing gift and relief to know I now have someone to care for my dog, whom I trust and know well ?

The way I take care of your pets is based on how you want me to take care of your pet(s). I have been doing this for awhile and everyone has different schedules/preferences on how they want their family taken care of. I do my absolute best to follow you as the owners instruction/direction.

Information Kris K. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your dogs 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 who is beyond the measure of “walking” or “house sitting” for.

A typical day

Again, everyone has different exercise routines and activities for their pets. Some like leisure walks, some want you to take them to the park and throw the ball until they get tired, some just want to let them outside and them do their thing. I will do what is requested and if there is something I can do for you to go above and beyond what’s requested I will do it.
