Having two dogs of my own, I understand the need for care and attention when coming by for walks or drop-in visits. I'm excellent at belly rubs and walks!

Kristen was great. I will definitely be asking her to walk Sasha again in the future. Very communicative, came on time and sent updates from the walk. Seemed like Sasha was happy when we got home.

Kristen did us a favor again of responding positively to a last-minute need for a dog walker. She’s building her relationship with our sweet boy, and I am grateful!

All my friends think that my dog is wild and crazy, and he's very reactive for us. But Kristen calls him her "Zen" dog! I think that she is a very calming influence and that is why he does so well for her. Wish we had the magic talent that she has.

Just like teaching children (which I did for a long time), knowing any context or special needs of the pets is really helpful and important. That way my care can be tailored to meet their specific needs.
