About Kristen

Whether you need pet care while you're away or alongside childcare or housekeeping I can help! I'm interested in arrangements where I can be useful beyond a quick walk or drop-in, combining pet care with household help so you can come home to cared-for pets and a cleaner space. See my housekeeping profile for more details about combining services. I'm comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and many types of small-animal pets. Routine care can include feeding, fresh water, walks, litter boxes or enclosure upkeep, playtime, check-ins, and following your pet's routine. I'm also comfortable learning species-specific care instructions with guidance. I'm comfortable giving medications, including injections, as long as pets can be safely and reliably handled (even if they grumble or protest a little!). For everyone's safety, I'm not able to take on medications that require forceful restraint of an actively resistant animal or depend on locating a pet who may be inaccessible at dosing time.
