Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Kristin and I've recently moved to Alexandria after living in Richmond, Virginia for 6 years and graduating from the University of Richmond (go spiders!). I've grown up always having pets and love animals. In fact, I've worked with a dog rescue in Puerto Rico for the last 8 years (Amigos de los Animales). I grew up with 3 dogs and 3 cats, however, I do not have a pet currently and really miss spending time and taking care of one. I am very energetic, responsible, and organized. I have had experience taking care of my family and friends' dogs in the past and am excited to continue this part-time passion. I have been working with Rover for 2 years providing care to dogs and cats. Message me about setting up a meet & greet so I can meet your dog or cat, and if they are boarding with me, they can come get accustomed to my apartment! As a policy, and for the sake of your pet's safety, I only board one pet at a time (or 2 pets from the same owner) since I know animals can be nervous in new environments and this can change their usual behavior. I am comfortable adding medication to a dog's food, however, do not have experience administering it via a needle or placing it in a dog's mouth.
Reviews
Kristin was fantastic. Flexible, wonderful with my dog, sent lots of photos. My dog didn’t want her to leave at the end of the evening. Thank you Kristin!!
Kristin is amazing with our cat. She spends quality time and always sends photos so we can see him. She is punctual and flexible and has always done a great job!
Kristen was great! She accommodated my crazy work hours
This was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone other than family, but after meeting Kristin I knew our dog would be in great hands. We got frequent picture updates and was great at communicating with me. I know our pup was well taken care of and I would not only recommend Kristin, but hope to use her again in the future!
About Kristin N.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs are welcome to sleep in my bed/go on furniture and explore as they’d like. I do ask that your dog is house trained since I have carpets, but I understand accidents happen! I have walking trails along the wooded side of my apartment complex where I usually walk my dogs.
Home
Information Kristin N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know how they are with other dogs, if they are house trained, and if they need any medications. I always suggest a meet and greet with my roommate’s dog beforehand to ensure they get along because he playful barks and it sometimes scares/confused other dogs.
A typical day
I will take your dog out 3-4x a day or more and hangout with them at home. My roommate also has a dog so they will never be without a companion!
Services

Kristin can watch in your home
Availability
I currently work full time at a school from 7am-3pm daily, so I usually only board dogs on the weekends unless they can last that long without going out.
