About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, and various other animals in my family so I have lots of experience in caring for them. A family friend has told me I'm like a dog whisperer because most dogs are comfortable with me. I'm most comfortable with no more than 4 dogs at a time, whether they're small like a Dachshund or a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, medium-sized like a Brittany Spaniel or a Labrador, or large like a Newfoundland or Great Dane. I also am able to train dogs in simple commands such as stay, sit, lay down, and shake. And I'm willing to help potty train puppies and bathe dogs if needed. I do have experience with elderly dogs or sick dogs with many health conditions and medications. Either myself or my spouse is nearly always at home. I work a flexible job where I can stop at home during the day if needed. I currently have my own dog and cat. I am working on getting a fence but currently just a tie-out lead and a large dog house is what I have with lots of land to run.


17. Kristin H.
“Kristin is a true pet whisperer, her calming presence kept our fur baby relaxed and happy. Kristin's love of the great outdoors makes her an excellent dog walking enthusiast. She handled our 120 pound pup with confidence. Gentle and firm she managed our dog meeting other dogs and encouraged our dog with toys and fetch till he was tired. Our dog is always happy to see Kristin. Highly recommend Kristin to care for your furry kids.”
