Kristen Barrett, Veterinary Assistant

I have lived in Traverse City most of my life, moving here from downstate when I was four. I have had many different animals, from multiple cats, four dogs, a rabbit and many pocket pets. I currently have a Pomeranian named Skuppy, Brody a yellow Labrador, a torti cat, Cricket and a pet rat, Templeton. I have been a veterinary assistant for many years, which has been beyond rewarding. Working with animals was most certainly a true calling. Taking care of people's pets has always been an honor for me. Especially, any that may be worried or acting out, and having the ability to gain their trust. VCA Cherry Bend Animal Hospital is a great new home and I really enjoy being here. In my spare time I enjoy camping, going to the beach, and going for rides in my JEEP with the top down, enjoying all Northern Michigan has to offer, especially in the summer.
