Pet care experience

Licensed Veterinary Tech 20+ years!

I love dogs and caring for them! So much so that I have been a licensed vet tech for 20+ years so you can leave your special pup or kitty in my hands knowing I will have their best interest at heart! I will definitely know what to do and how to handle them. You won’t find someone who cares about your baby more, next to you and your family, than I will! I’ve worked with the little ones, the big ones, the fuzzy ones, not so fuzzy ones, and everything in between. Rest assured I know a lot about all of them, even the elderly and medically needy ones. As a vet tech, I have taken care of many different patients and their medical problems. If you have a pet that has medical needs, I am happy to help with that as well. When a pet is in my care, they get treated as if they were my own pet, so that means they get the best!

Safety, trust & environment

I want to make sure that your babies stay on their very same routine and schedule while you are not home. It is stressful enough that you won’t be there, it is best if we keep them as routine as possible! Just let me know exactly how things normally go and I will do my best to keep it that way!

Kristen is awesome! She is kind and cares so much for my pups. She helped ease my stress when we were delayed getting home and made sure my pups were well taken care of until I could get home. Thank you!

Kristen was wonderful. I think she loves Buddy as much as we do. We’ll definitely request Kristen again. The peace of mind that our home and pet are in good hands is priceless.

Our experience with Kristen was excellent. Kristen was very professional. When she came to meet our pup she asked a lot of questions and took careful notes. She wanted to keep our pup on his regular routine. It was evident that Kristen is very knowledgable and passionate about animals with her 16+ years as a vet tech. Kristen embraced caring for our energetic puppy without hesitation. She texted us photos a few times a day, and she stayed later on our day of return because we were getting back later than anticipated. Kristen took great care of our puppy, and he was well loved. We will be having her watch our dog again in the future.

Kristen was the best! She was very attentive to Riley and she took time to write a summary each day. I’d highly recommend her!

Kristen took great care of my dog Bonham, who has medical needs. On an overnight at her house, she expertly dispensed his medication and gave him an important blood test (one that I had a lot of trouble doing on my own!). She even sent me a photo of him so I knew he was having a good time. She clearly cares about animals. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again!

Schedule

Sometimes I have my 13 year old daughter with me when I am picking her up from school and coming to your home on our way home but she has been around animals (dogs, cats, exotics, horses, and farm animals) her entire life! She surely is an animal lover like her Mom. If for some reason, your baby did not like her, she would stay in the car.

What can I do to make our time together fun and enjoyable for your pup? What are some your pup’s likes and dislikes? Does he/she have any allergies/medical conditions I need to be aware of? Is he/she on any medications? When is it taken? Is he/she on flea/tick preventative and Heartworm preventative? When is it due next? Is your dog pet-friendly or dog-aggressive in any way? Is he/she afraid of loud noises or thunderstorms/fireworks? Does he/she take medication for it if so?
