Pet care experience

Walks, Wags, & Plenty of Playtime!

I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience with both cats and dogs from puppy/kitten stage all the way through their senior years. I currently share my home with two pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with their care. Over the years, I’ve also helped family and friends by dog sitting and boarding, which has given me hands on experience with different breeds, personalities, and needs. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the patience I bring to every pet I look after.

Safety, trust & environment

When providing drop-in care or walks, I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and happy. I make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and lots of playtime or cuddles. On walks, I keep safety a top priority while also making sure your pup gets exercise and stimulation. My goal is to give pets the same love and attention they’d get from you while you’re away.

Kristen A. is a lifesaver! I ended up having to go to the ER after thinking I can just get taken care of at the urgent Care. That led to almost a full week Hospital stay, my pup Oreo was home and because I didn't know how long I'd be there thinking maybe a day or so I decided maybe to try doing drop-in appointments and allowing him to stay home. She came faithfully twice a day giving my dog so much love and attention! She is very good with communication giving updates on how he was doing and sending copious pictures, and very sensitive to my situation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for drop in care!

Kristen is helping take care of my family’s new cat for my elderly parents. After her first visit I can say that we have great confidence and trust in her. If you are looking for a reliable, responsible, and kind caretaker for your pet at a reasonable price I would highly recommend Kristen! She was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and was flexible in terms of her schedule. Before booking we were able to discuss exactly what I needed her to take care of on a weekly basis. She was also able to come by the next day. Moreover, Kristen was knowledgeable and understanding about helping with our anxious cat who is having some health issues. She did a great job with everything and we are really thankful to be working with her.
