Dog Trainer, Veterinary Assistant

Pet care experience

I am dog trainer at a local pet store and was a veterinary assistant at an emergency veterinarian for 8yrs. I offer drop in visits, walks, and at my home boarding. I am Pet CPR (R.E.C.O.V.E.R.) certified and Fear Fear level 2 certified. In home boarding dogs must be cat and dog friendly. I generally board 1 to 4 dogs at a time. For drop in visits, I discuss, at meet and greets, your pet's usual routine and do my best to keep everything the same for them. If requested I can prepare lickimats, kongs, snuffle mats or puzzle feeders. I am happy to play with your pet or just snuggle, it is their time. For staying in my home, they are treated like one of my own. They would get to play on my fantastic puppy playground. With owner permission they would be allowed on furniture and beds. However manners are still very much enforced and expected (I don't allow them to develop bad habits while you are away). Crate training is required, they may go to work with me, but there may be periods of a few hours where they need to stay in a crate while no one is home. A comfy bed, kong and adaptil plug in provided.

Thank you, Kristin, for the love, care, and attention you showered our kitties with! Our little rascals were happy and content when we returned home - what more could we ask for?! Thank you!

Kristin has been walking my large German shepherd puppy for months and she handles her very well. She also brings her own dog to play and walk too, which I really like! Plus she takes great pictures during the walk, all of which are super cute and fun. Great person!

Stellar Rover. Hit all of my pup’s needs, excellent communicator, great with sending pics and videos without having to remind them. If you have an active dog, this is a GREAT place to go!
