Experienced Caregiver!

Pet care experience

Hi there! Firstly, I love all animals! I have been working in rescues for years, helping with transportation, getting animals to vet appointments, taking in temp fosters, and even running my own rescue! I have interacted with and helped many friends and family with their animals during training and health concerns. I have specific experience helping and handling some behavior issues. I have mild vet tech training and knowledge of basic emergency protocols. I am currently working as completely self employed so my schedule is very flexible! I do have a husband who occasionally helps me with pet care, and if I were to stay over night anywhere would most likely at least stop by! I am available for house stays all day without nights for a discounted rate! I will likely have other obligations during the day but am very good at prioritizing my responsibilities, and can make myself 100% available if needed! 😊 I can't wait to help you with your pet(s) and get to know the people and animals in my community! Thanks for considering me to care for your furry family! I am currently working 100% independently, so my schedule is flexible and varies. I work for Task Rabbit pretty regularly but will let you know if anything conflicts. I'm a full time student so I may be in virtual class during some care times for house sitting or doing class work so wifi is needed. I am a natural animal lover and pets can feel that. I've yet to meet an animal who doesn't like me, even pets with particular personalities or behavioral issues! They are always treated like my own

Kristen was available last minute for us which was really helpful. Our dog has a good time and came home tired after daycare. :)

Kristen took care of our aged and ill cattle dog when we went on vacation. She was wonderful with our guy and so easy to communicate with. All medications were given on time and as prescribed. We would not hesitate to use her again, she was wonderful! I need to mention that I am pretty picky as a veterinarian.

Kristen was wonderful! I really appreciate her experience with animals and how much she especially cares for cats. I felt my furry friend was in good hands and I definitely plan to book her for future drop-ins!
