About: I am dog owner and know how tough it can be to find a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. I want to help fellow pet owners find a safe and caring sitter for their pets. I have grown up with dogs and cats, and have had my own dogs for over 10 years and chickens for the past year. I have frequently dog sat for friends and family. I am currently relocating to North Bay and will be missing my own lovely boy while we move overseas. Dog sitting is a great opportunity for me to get to know the area and get my much needed puppy love while I’m away from my dog. I will cater to your pets needs, providing daily exercise, any required meds or physio, and lots of love and attention. I have lots of experience with reactive dogs, as my own dog is very nervous. I also have experience with senior dogs, cats and chickens. I would be comfortable with horses if you show me the ropes. I am happy to care for your animals from you home, I do work so I cannot be in your home all day, however my schedule is flexible. Looking forward to endless snuggles and walkies with your lovely dogs. I will be working full time and do need to go to the office but my schedule is flexible to fit your pets needs. We can discuss the best schedule for your pets. I can care for your animals in your own home, and would provide any additional services to look after your home while you are away (watering plants tidying etc). At the moment I do not have an appropriate home for boarding pets.

“Kristen is a devoted dog mom to her lovely Berner Bentley. I would trust her to take care of my fur baby any day! She goes above and beyond to make the pooches in her life happy. Pool days, beach walks, hikes and cuddles! You name it she does it. She provides such a nice environment for her pets with her lovely garden and personality. When it comes to having someone take care of your pet be assured that Kristen will take yours in as her own. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Kristen’s abilities as a dog mom and a dog sitter!”
