What is Animal Caregiving?
My name is Karin Kelly-Givens. I have had a special love for animals all my life. I believe animals deserve the best of care, the most gentle of care, and love and respect. The animals in my home are my companions, not my pets. My gift includes the ability to be with animals when they are critically ill or dying, to communicate and understand their desires, and to be patient, kind and loving.
I believe that I fill a need for people who have animals that are in need of support and care that may go beyond what a vet can do. Sometimes making decisions on behalf of your animal can be so difficult. I am here to help you with those decisions, and provide a compassionate space for you and your animal. I can help you decide what kinds of alternative or complementary remedies can help you animal.
I have worked with primarily with dogs and cats. I have helped mice and birds at home when one of my cats or dogs has found one injured.
The areas where I can be most useful for you and your animal are if:
- you desire help with homeopathy for health and wellness
- you would like help with determining whether your animal needs the services of a vet
- you need help in determining what other kinds of options are available for your animal and would like to call for a consultation
- you need in home services from someone who is willing to be with your animal and help them to be comfortable
Animal Caregiving Mission:
- To give care to animals who are chronically ill, terminally ill, in need of help for emotional issues and transitions, seniors
- To treat all with kindness and gentleness
- To work in concert with current care being given by professionals
- To provide resources and assistance with complementaty and alternative options
- Primary goal is comfort; secondary goal is health and wellness
