Availability

I do work full time in person, but my schedule allows me to take care of pups and other animals in the evening and on my days off! My assistant Rocky the chihuahua loves to be included in all adventures and is super pet friendly! I’d be able to house sit, dog walk, etc. while you are away on vacation or just out for a lovely dinner!

Safety, trust & environment

In my own home I keep to a consistent feeding, walking, and playtime schedule. I would provide the same services to a clients dog unless requested otherwise that way we can keep a nice routine and the dog will be fed well, walked well, and entertained well!

Information Kristen B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any sort of reactivity issues! I have had dogs that can be a bit reactive at times so I am able to understand and work with it easily but I would love to know if any triggers to avoid.

A typical day

My favorite thing to do with dogs are puzzles and enrichment activities, I do them with my own dog by hiding treats and such around the house and having him find them! I enjoy having to get creative! I do also like to take my dogs on long walks or hikes but this will be at the owners discretion. For cats it’s all dependent on the cat itself. For example I recently sat a cat who wanted nothing to do with me until dinner time, the owners requested I ignore him and so I did!

Pet care experience

Thankfully I’ve been able to gain experience taking care of cats, dogs (large and small), rabbits, and hamsters as I’ve grown up over the years. They’ve been a real treat and I loved the companionship they brought me. I’ve even been able to foster dogs so I have a lot of experience in walking, feeding, and overall maintenance needed to care for dogs!

Kristen was very professional and communicative. She kept me updated the entire time and loved on both my cats while I was away! It was great knowing my cats were in good hands.

Kristen is such a great care taken of our pups and house when we are traveling! Both of ladies love Kristen and feel at home with her around. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter while we are gone.
