Experienced Dog Lover!

Pet care experience

I've actually loved dogs since I first found out what a dog was. Every year, I'd ask for one for my birthday AND Christmas. To my disappointment, my parents never wanted the responsibility... so here I am! I want the responsibility for myself with your pups until I am able to afford one of my own. Regardless, I love any opportunity to spend time with furry friends. I am so in love with the fact there is a site here like this, allowing me to earn some extra money by just spending time with dogs and actually enjoying myself. It definitely brings me happiness! Another little bit about me-- I graduated in May from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Physical Therapy, but I have had a change of heart (one which I should have had a long time ago). I am now a Veterinary Assistant at Veterinary Specialty Center in Buffalo Grove (3 months), and was previously at a general practice in Niles, IL at Banfield Veterinary Hospital (1.5 years), and absolutely love it! This also means I also have a lot of experience with veterinary medicine and multiple different kinds of dogs and cats. I also feel comfortable with any health or behavior complications. In addition, I am in school online to become a certified veterinary technician which I work on between 40 hour work weeks. I am currently living in Lakeview, and am excited to begin this Rover experience downtown!

I have known Kristen for 14 years, and for those 14 years and more she has had a profound love for all dogs. Kristen's passion for dogs goes deeper than just a hobby, she is pursuing her license as a Veterinary Technician. Kristen is caring, patient, and very knowledgeable. Your dog(s) would be in great hands!

Kristen has been my best friend for almost 10 years now. She has such a love and passion for dogs, I wouldn't doubt that she would treat yours with the upmost care. She truly enjoys spending the time with dogs of all breeds, sizes and age, and I think she even considers my dog, Sheffield, her own. If you give her the opportunity to meet your dog, I can guarantee you'll be completely satisfied.
