I walk the walk & bark the bark

Pet care experience

I have an array of animal care experience from adoption shelters and equestrian centers all the way to caring for camels and snakes at the zoo. My network of friends & family have me on speed dial for their cherished pets. Not only because I provide the requested care but also that special attention that makes them feel safe & loved. With my experience I am able to accurately read behavior and improvise when the need arises. I also speak Spanish!

I’ve had the blessing of knowing Kristen for 17 years. One of the things we connected on most was our love for animals. An animal in her care should bring peace and ease as she will be gentle with love and fierce in protection. She has always taken care of my animals when I am on vacation and it’s such a relief knowing that she is there with them.

We just want say that Kristen has taken care of our pets whenever we needed to go out town or to an event. She has been our go to person as a trustworthy doggy/cat sitter. Our dogs love her and we can relax knowing they are good hands. She is great following our instructions as to meds and walking schedules. She has proven herself as a loving pet caregiver and we recommend her highly!

Kristen is someone I trust hands down to care for my pup. She took care of my Mia like if she were here own. She was attentive to all her needs and made sure to always give her the extra cuddles while I was away.

I’ve known Kristen my whole life. She is a keeper, she grew up loving animals & always caring for them dearly. She is kind, caring, reliable & respectful. I trust her with my two doggies, they love being left in her care while we are away which is such a huge relief for us dog obsessed parents!

Every pet and owner have their own preference so I adjust my caretaking to follow that. If it is a younger or hyperactive pups I prefer them to be trained for leash walking so I can thoroughly exercise them and have less chance for accidents.

Information Kristen A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if they have any physical or medical needs. Also any special behaviors I should watch out for (i.e scared of the mail man) or any areas on their body they are uncomfortable with touch.

A typical day

If they are physically able to I like to start the day off with a walk or some play with a favorite toy. If they are not then I like to provide them company either in the backyard or a common area they enjoy being in. I also think treat puzzles/toys are a great tool to use for enrichment.
