GoodTails Pet Care

About Me

Hi there! My name is Kristin James and I live in Chariton, Iowa. I have extensive experience with pets, starting with being a committed and loving mama to my own 5 dogs and 1 cat. Three of my dogs and the cat I adopted at young ages (including puppy and kitten), and the other two dogs I adopted as seniors. I had all of them their entire lives.

I’ve volunteered at the humane society for 8 years walking dogs and taking them to adoption events, handling many types of dogs: energetic, senior, shy and scared. I worked at the same humane society for one year cleaning and taking care the adoptable cats and dogs. I’ve also had several foster dogs.

All of this experience has taught me so much about dogs and cats, such as:

Proper care, handling and space sanitization
Recognizing different personalities and body language and adjusting my behavior accordingly
Special needs of seniors and ill pets
Administering medications
Importance of exercise (playtime and walks)
Importance of: talking to them, pets, belly rubs, favorite spot scratchies and just being with them
Ensuring safety for both the pet and myself
Ablility to recognize a change in behaviour/habits due to illness

I have full liability insurance and can provide a background check verification during our Meet & Greet.

I’m knowledgeable about pet first aid and CPR, and I’ve also completed a Red Cross course for both.

Besides the fact that I really love pets, I am:

Mature, responsible and dependable
Intelligent with good-decision making skills
Honest, respectful and professional
Very comfortable caring for all types of cats and dogs

I’ve owned two homes and am familiar with basic home care and maintenance.
