Pet care experience
I think dogs are simply fabulous! I grew up taking care of my childhood dog, a cocker spaniel named Buddy. I was a nanny for about five years, and that often entailed taking care of my clients' pets. I have been taking care of friends and clients' pets, plants, and houses for over ten years. I have a very calming and grounding personality, so animals tend to feel at ease in my presence. I am very confident in my ability to care for your beloved creatures! On a personal note, I am a PSU undergrad studying plant biology and earth science. I'm headed towards research and teaching in the field of bryology and climate change. I also teach yoga and work as a barista. I love to walk around downtown Portland anyway on my own time, so it would be awesome for me to help your furry friends get some exercise while I am at it!
Reviews
Kristin is a shining example of the perfect caregiver for all living beings, whether they are plants, humans or animals. She has dog sat and walked my three dogs on several occasions and remains at the top of the list of who we would call when in need of care for them. Not only does she understand the unique personality of each of our fur-babies and is able to tailor her care for them to meet their individual needs, but she also truly loves connecting with animals. She takes so much ownership in them, and I feel that whenever they are with her they are getting the amount of love they deserve. When house/dog sitting the house is cleaner than when I left it and she is so respectful of our belongings. I highly recommend you look no further for your dog walking/sitting needs!
