Vet Assistant Looking to Pet Sit

Pet care experience

I have a lifetime of personal pet care knowledge along with 10+ years experience working as a Veterinarian Assistant as well as working as a kennel assistant. I have successfully handled a wide range of dogs and cats of all temperments. I also have offered medical and regular baths for dogs of all sizes, and full/partial clipdowns to remove matted fur. I'm knowledgeable in medicating pets as well.

Beyond happy with the care my puppies and kitty received during my vacation;) Kristin was so caring and professional;) she kept my „babies” safe and happy ;) also she took care of my home. I was able to relax away from home and my pets knowing that they are in good hands;) my youngest Teddy can be naughty and challenging and she handled him absolutely perfectly. My boys are missing her and her assistant Piper;) i will be using her help many times in the future ;)

Kristin is the best! I've never had a dog walker before & my dog is very, very weary of strangers so I was nervous but Kristin really took the time to make Frank feel comfortable day by day & he is doing so great & has really warmed up to her. It is only getting better. She caters to him on walks when strangers walk by knowing how he is among other things that I myself would do on our walks so it's great practice. She texts me updates each day which is really great so I know how he's doing. I am so happy I chose Kristin off of Rover. I feel great knowing he is in good hands every day.

Kristen would be an awesome caregiver for any animal. She worked at a veterinarian and I had a situation with a feral kitten who’s mother brought to me at 4 weeks. I called Kristen because I knew she would help me and give me advice and she actually came to my house, got the kitten from me, brought her to the vet where she worked, and made plans with someone to adopt her. I call Kristen with any questions about animals. She’s a very loving and very patient person, and I’m sure she would be an asset to any company looking for good and reliable people to work for them!
