Pet Care By Kristin

I've worked as a Veterinary Assistant, Pet-Stylist, Dog Walker, Kennel Worker & Pet-Sitter since 1995. I found my calling when I started working as a grooming assistant in 2009.

Common complaints I heard were "overpriced" & clients found it to be a hassle to wait the 2-4 hrs it can take for their dog to be finished. Groomers working on several dogs at a time needed to put pets in kennels when they weren't being worked on, which is another thing clients weren't fond of. The inconvenience of bringing their dog in & waiting for the call to pick them up was also a hassle, especially for busy moms.

I offer bathing packages that include ALL "add-on" services. There's no extra charge for an oatmeal bath or deshedding treatment. ALL bath packages include a full hands-on massage bath, reverse blow-dry, complete brush-out, anal gland release & dematting if needed, teeth brushing, nail trim & ear cleaning.

I offer body trims & quick scissoring trims of the face/feet/rear end as well. I do NOT do special "fancy" show dog cuts, deskunking or flea/tick baths at this time.

Unless I'm working on a "sibling," I only schedule ONE dog per day. No kennels! I take larger dogs to a self dog wash. I do all trims from my home where it is quiet without a bunch of strangers or other pets around. This helps keeps the dog more calm & less stressed.

I offer pick-up/drop-off "pet taxi" service in/near Elgin. I text when I am on the way & send another text when the dog is ready & on the way back, along with a photo.

I take my time with pets, allow them to get to know me in a stress-free area & give breaks when needed. I offer as many services possible at the lowest rates. I accept cash & several online payments. I have excellent references from repeat clients & prior employers.

This hobby became a passion of mine & grew into a side business where I'm known as "your neighborhood pet care specialist." Besides pet pampering, I also offer pet-sitting, dog walking & other general pet care services.

My clients love the convenience of not having to load up their car with their pets & kids, sit in traffic, waste gas or wait in long lines! I love making dirty dogs look, feel & smell great...
