Vet Assistant Pet Lover

Pet care experience

From my first pup over 20 years ago to assistant managing an animal shelter and clinic, I've delt with all kinds of critters. Large Malamutes to tiny Hamsters I've cared and treated for them all. Skilled in giving daily medications and injections as well. Having worked in a shelter environment, I'm used to making friends with scared & timid animals. I'm skilled with : • Oral medication for dogs and (most) cats • Injectable medications such as insulin • Daily subcutaneous fluids for senior animals • Animal behaviour and basic training

Wow, Kristen really put me at ease with her knowledge of caring for pets and showing up right on time! I was anxious to leave my diabetic pet at home knowing I’d be late for his evening feeding and insulin shot following my doctors appointment 75 miles away. Kristin to the rescue! With her vet tech experience and experience giving subcutaneous shots, I couldn’t have lucked out more! My neighbor had used Kristen’s services and highly recommended her because of her experience in the vet field. I am so thankful that we have found Kristen!! She went the extra mile sending me updated messages and photos AND even washed my dog’s bowls! Amazing service. I look forward to using her services again next week and will definitely continue to book with her. You will not be disappointed!

Kristin accommodated a last minute request for a drop-in visit/walk for our dog so that our family could go to Disney for the day. She came to meet us and our dog at our home with short notice the day before the outing and was there on time to take him out for a walk and potty break the next day while we were gone. I could tell she was going to be someone we could trust upon meeting her. Our dog was super calm and happy to see her right away. She spent time asking questions and getting to know about him and we enjoyed chatting with her and getting to know her. She provided pictures and a complete report about the visit afterwards and we are super grateful to her for helping us out! Will definitely save her contact information for any future times we may need help with dog care.

Since there are only 5 stars, Kristin would be a 6! She exceeded our expectations for the care she provided for our 2 dogs. Highly highly recommend her and we will be one of her repeat customers!

Safety, trust & environment

Security of both home and pet is my utmost concern during the time you're away. I always double check doors to make sure they're locked and also make sure everything is clean before I leave. I also bring in mail/packages, turn off/on lights, take out trash, water plants, etc as needed. I am also Insured & Bonded through Pet Sitter's Associates for extra peace of mind.

Information Kristin N. would like to know about your pet

I do require a quick meet & greet with the owner and pet before sittings. This allows the dog to meet me for the first time and I can learn the dog's usual routine and where everything is! For dog walks, dogs must have a secure harness and lead available. No zip/autoretract leashes. I can bring my own leashes if needed. This is for the safety of the pet. A spooked dog with a new person can easily slip out of a collar or loose vest-like harness.

A typical day

A typical drop-in visit is 30min and includes 1-2 visits outside for dogs, some playtime & feeding. If I notice your pet has any health items needing attention (ear infection, hot spots, ect) I'll let you know as well. If you would like, I can also do nail trims on cats & dogs and any basic grooming that may be needed. For dog walks, this area is great for neighbourhood walks in addition to trips to local parks if owner has a trail the pet knows and enjoys. My car is dog-ready with backseat protection and seatbelt harness buckles.

Availability

Not currently working full time so have plenty of time to spend with your critters during the visits. However, due to occasional travel, I cannot commit to requests of daily walks for an indeterminate amount of time. I'd love to be a backup for when a regular walker is unavailable for a few days, but requests of more than a week of visits are considered on a case-by-case situation.
