About My Business

Hi! My name is Christen, here is some information about who I am:

I was born and raised in Bergen County and had a love for animals since I was a young girl. I got my first dog, a Sheltie named Cody, when I was 13 years old. He was a great companion, very smart and I loved him from the day we got him. I attended the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where I studied Communications with a minor in Spanish. After graduation, I got a job in New York City doing Advertising Sales, but wasn't fulfilled at my job. During this time of trying to decide what to do career wise, Cody passed away. I was devastated and started pet sitting part time to fill a void of not having my furry buddy with me. I loved being able to spend time with dogs and cats again! I started to think about what I could do as a career to incorporate animals into my life. I decided to quit my job in Manhattan, move back to New Jersey and go to school to become a Veterinary Technician. While I attended school full time, I worked part time at a 24/7 emergency animal hospital in Rockland County, New York. After 2 years, I received my Associate's degree in Veterinary Technology from Bergen Community College! I then took my national exam and became licensed to work. I started my career at the Bergen County Veterinary Center in 2016 and am so happy to be working in a familiar environment again. I truly enjoy what I do and feel that I make a difference most every day.

Being a Licensed Veterinary Technician sets me apart as I have the skills and knowledge of a trained veterinary professional. I am compassionate and care about the fur babies I watch as if they were my own! I am also fortunate enough to be able to help sick or medically challenged pets. I am able to administer medications, fluids, insulin and most other veterinary required care while you are away or even if you just need an extra hand with an unruly patient. Services also provided but not limited to nail trims, anal gland expression and ear cleaning.

We are insured and bonded. We are Fear Free Certified!

What my clients say:

"Christen has been watching our lab since he was a puppy. She is wonderful with him and we feel at ease when away knowing our dog is in good hands. She is active with him which is great. They go for walks and play fetch in the yard. Christen’s veterinary background is also a bonus for us :). She is responsible and a true animal lover!"
