College Student Vet Assistant

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Molly K. and I am a 22 year old senior college student majoring in animal science/animal health at OSU. Because of this, I do have a certain school schedule that I have to stay tentative to until the summer and am glad to make pet sitting arrangements around it. I know its probably not ideal to have a college student pet sitting but don’t let that scare you away yet. I am also a veterinary assistant at Kentown Animal Hospital in Parma, Ohio. I have been working there for 4 1/2 years so I have a good knowledge of animal health and animal behavior. I have pet sat for friends and neighbors for about 6 years now. I am comfortable with giving any medications needed, including insulin shots and checking glucose levels. In regards to the services I have chosen to provide I am comfortable with staying late nights/over nights, depending on my college and work schedule of course, doing regular check ins, and walking. If there are any other pets in the house I am perfectly fine with taking care of them as well, especially cats (I am a crazy cat person). I am a also comfortable with taking care of/feeding reptiles/amphibians, as I have a ball python and a tree frog. Same goes for livestock, birds, rodents, and fish. If I haven’t tired you out from reading yet I hope that you will consider me for the care of your pet. Thank you! I work Monday through Saturday along with my college schedule so I do get fairly busy during the week. This makes house sitting a little more difficult at times, which also makes it something I'm not always going to say yes to. I also require that requests for petsitting are sent at least one week in advance to the event. I like to let clients know when I arrive at their house and when I leave. I will always ask when/where you would like me to leave the key after petsitting as well.

Molly takes great care of our Pony Boy. She is so diligent about making sure he gets his meds every day while we are gone. She’s so very thoughtful of our house and always cleans up any accidents. We never have a worry knowing Molly is here. We are so thankful for her! 🐾

Molly did an excellent job caring for our poodle mix senior dog while we celebrated at our wedding reception for 7 hours. Rudy gets anxious without us but he did great with Molly - she was able to feed him and give his medication which sometimes he won’t do that for others. I highly recommend Molly and will use her again!

Molly was excellent with my two cats. She is very knowledgeable, professional, dependable, and trustworthy. I was able to leave my two cats and go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing they would be in good hands. We did the drop-in visits, which worked out perfectly. My cats also need medication, which Molly is very experienced in administering. Vacations are disruptive enough for our pets. Having Molly stop by for their care eliminated some of that stress - both for our cats, and for us! I highly recommend Molly and will definitely use her services in the future!

Molly took amazing care of our cat! She was timely with communication and even sent pictures of our little guy while we were away. She made sure he got his meds daily and was just overall an extremely nice person that genuinely cares about animals. Will definitely rebook with her in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have 2 cats along with reptiles and amphibians. I have also fostered several cats before so I am no stranger in reading behavior and knowing when a pet is comfortable. I'm constantly giving environmental stimulation and enrichment by providing treat puzzles, scratching posts, toys, etc. When it comes to client's pets I do like to have as much information about the pet before meeting and taking care of them so I can interact with them accordingly.

Information Molly K. would like to know about your pet

While I do not mind any breed of cat or dog (my favorites are German Shepherds) I would like to know of any health or aggression issues with your pet. I am comfortable working with either of these problems, but I do like to have a heads up.

A typical day

I live right behind a dog park and have a few parks that I like to walk through so exercise is no problem! If you have specific requests on where to take your pets please don't hesitate to let me know.
