Pets

Experienced Animal Caregiver

Pet care experience

I have a little over a year experience working as an Animal Caregiver at a veterinary office in New York and I worked at the Humane Society in Rome for a year as a Cat/Kennel attendant and Vet tech. My job was mostly to take care of the animals that we had as in-patients, as in walking, feeding, and cleaning up after them. Also making sure they have the right medical care for wounds and always looking for signs of distress. I was know as the "Animal Whisperer". I have Experience giving animals medications in their food and/or pilling animals if necessary. I groom my own animals if that's something that needs to be done. I was taught animal CPR while working at the animal hospital. I also have experience caring for larger animals like horses or smaller animals like bunnies, lizards, or even tarantulas. I have my own transportation and a large yard for the animals to run around in if you're interested in boarding. I am responsible, will always show up on time and come fully prepared with my own bedding. In case of emergency I have many veterinarian and vet tech friends that would be happy to assist.

Trista did great! She was on time and communicated well. The pets were happy and healthy when we arrived home. Would recommend and will rebook with her!

Trista had excellent communication, was reliable, and on time. She went above and beyond taking care of our babies. She also did an excellent job giving our dog his medication. My husband and I were beyond happy with her care and service and will definitely be booking her again in the future.

Trista was fantastic with our senior cats while we were away for 3 days. Responsible, reliable and genuinely kind. Even my anxious kitty warmed up to her quickly! I felt very comfortable knowing that Trista was looking after my feline family and I would definitely book her again!!

Trista was extremely responsible from a pre-meet, walking through the daily routine and providing updates. Thank you for the pictures while we were away missing our pups!
