I love animals!!
Pet care experience
I have loved and cared for pets of all kinds my whole life. I have no clue what it's like not having pets. We've had everything from dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, chinchilla, rabbit, and a horse. Farm animals, and reptiles/snakes are the only animalss we have not had. But, I'm not afraid to learn how to care for them. I have been taking care of pets my whole but started petsitting around 2017. I do not smoke, and am someone you can rely on. I used to work in vet clinics so I do have some medical knowledge. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. *IMPORTANT* Work schedule: My schedule is 12 am to 8:30 am Tues- Sat. I do work some Saturdays from 8 pm- 4:30 am. For house sitting I would be asleep during part of the day, and out of the house at night. Services offered: Dog walking drop in visits Overnight stays *REQUIREMENT* Meet and greets shortly before you leave for first time dog clients are a must. It is less important if they are puppies. I have had a bad encounter with a dog, and understand that not all dogs are comfortable with me. And it is important to me that they are as well as me being comfortable with them. For overnight stays detailed pet care instructions are very much appreciated, and there is no such thing as too many details for me to follow but please include vet information just in case.
Reviews
Cristen was a great house sitter for our dog. I felt she followed the instructions and our dog was well cared for.
Cristen did a great job watching our dog and or home! We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Cristen was responsive and provided a good number of updates during our time away. We would be happy to rebook with her in the future.
Cristen did a great job. She sent pictures every day. The dogs were happy and well cared for the entire time I was gone. She also left the house absolutely spotless. I hope to use her services again in the future.
Out dogs seemed to really like Cristen! She came and stayed in the house, which made them more comfortable. I do wish there was better communication, and updates/pictures were sent daily.
