Kennel, medicating, and love 20 yrs

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs. My father has a kennel for max 25 dogs and since I've been able to I have helped him feed, clean, play with, manage, medicate, and even help give birth with these dogs. I also have worked for several kennels and have helped with day cares and training several dogs. I'm comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and most attitudes of dogs. I love all dogs and it pains me that I can't have one where I live so I would love to give your dog all this love and attention for a pet I can't have! I also have experience with exotic pets such as birds, snakes, lizards, geckos, and fish. Really any animal you throw at me I likely have some experience with. Let me take care of your babies! Furry, scaled, or feathered.

Thank you for the great care you take in our pups. And yes, I thought Bryce' collar fit him perfectly.

Kristen took care of my Australian Shepard (almost 15 yrs. old). He needed a bit of special care, including medicines and required 3 visits per day.Kristen took wonderful care of Simon and I will be sure to use her again.

Kristen was great with Flynn. I came home to such a happy dog. She was great to work with to when my plans changed.

Kristen has been my Sandy's nanny since she was a puppy. I have a 4 year old pit bull and there are few people I trust with her. She has 1 other person I can leave her with but Kristen is always my first choice. Sandy's face just lights up when she sees her and gets this big ole grin. Sandy is hyper but Kristen can handle her. She has walked her, bathed her, checked on her when Im gone for a day, say with her in my home over a weekend. She always sends pictures too. I highly recommend her!

Information Kristen A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet has been without you long before, how long you've owned the dog, usual temperament, anything I should not do (ie, be nearby when they're eating, scratch the base of their tail, touch their ears) and your pets favorite thing (activity, toy, treat...)

A typical day

I love cuddling, playing tug of war or fetch and going for walks, I'll even wrestle if that's what your pup likes. It's whatever they want to do.
