VA that loves animals & people

Pet care experience

New to the Ottawa area! Just finished Social Service Worker program in Kingston. Currently searching for work in the area. I took veterinary assistant and never put it to use. So why not look after dogs or cats! I miss being around them all the time. I ran a dog training business for a period of time and I've worked in a doggy day camp for a year. I can clip nails, groom, and train them amoung other things. I do have 3 cats currently, all of them have been around dogs in the past. I have a big house with a small yard for them to go out. I live with my partner that can help. No need to worry! We got you covered.

Kristen is the most knowledgeable and caring person I know when it comes to pets. I'd recommend her to anyone that is looking for a dependable dog caregiver.

I can say without hesitation, that Kristan is hands down one of the kindest, most loving, caring, truthworthy, reliable people I have ever met. She never hesitates when it comes to helping someone. I had the privledge of working with her for about a year, and the honor of having her as a friend for the next two years after :) Why can you trust Kristen? well for starters, she adopted one of my kittens from a cat we were fostering. Its been over a year now and she still sends me pictures to this day and keeps me updated on how he is doing :) I have, and will always be grateful knowing he went to such a loving home. Aside from that, she is currently enrolled in school to be a social service worker! If that doesn't prove what a loving, compassionate person she is...I will also mention how she graduated from the vet assistant program before that. Her genorosity and compassionate nature really do extend to all living things. She is also a vegetarian (just for a little added proof) No words will ever do justice to what an amazing person she is :) But I really do hope this will give you even the slightest idea. I would trust her with any of my furbabies anyday <3
