Medication administration: Expert at seamlessly giving oral medications, tracking complex dosing schedules, and managing medical care (inspired by my own pets' health journeys).

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Kristen! For more than 25 years, my home and heart have belonged to rescue dogs. I know firsthand that our four-legged family members require patience and understanding as they age or transition through life. Right now, I share my life a senior rescue hound (age ~13) who receives daily oral medications. Recently, I lovingly cared for my 15-year-old rescue through a cancer diagnosis, managing a complex daily schedule of multiple medications and physical mobility assistance, including carrying her safely up and down stairs. I was also the primary caregiver for our 17-year-old Shih Tzu/Jack Russell mix, whom I adopted when he was 9 months old, until he peacefully passed. Because I don't work a traditional 9-to-5 job right now, my schedule is open. Your pets will receive my undivided attention, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or a house sitter to keep them company overnight in the comfort of their own home. I treat every animal with the same love and vigilance I give my own.

Kristen is caring and dedicated in everything she does, but especially when it comes to caring for animals. She loves all animals and treats her clients' pets like her own. She has years of experience caring for older dogs on a variety of medications and specialty foods and diets. She will go above and beyond for each client and their animals every time, giving more love, time and attention to fur babies than is asked. She has a patient, kind and sweet nature that animals love and feel safe around.

Kristen gave excellent care to our two small 6-year-old dogs! Twice-daily walks, check-ins with photos, watered plants, brought in mail, super responsible! And our house seemed cleaner than it was when we left for our trip. Will definitely book her again!
