Dog lover and local teacher

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a 2020 graduate of University of Maryland and work as a public school teacher in PG county. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, and have lots of experience with big dogs (my family had a Chesapeake Bay Retriever). I was a secondary caregiver for a future guide dog puppy while in college and helped with obedience classes for my friend’s Great Dane, so I also have a good amount of experience with young dogs. I am friendly, responsible, and timely. I am very active and would love to walk (or run!) your dog as long as you want, but I also love just hanging out and playing around the house too for less-active dogs.

Kristen is amazing! She took care of my rescue for me at my home, and it was really nice not to have to worry about her being in good hands. I highly recommend her!!!

Kristen is super friendly and such a great sitter! She kept in touch during the entire four-day booking and sent pictures of my cat during every drop-in visit. I highly recommend booking Kristen to care for your pets. :)

Kristen is patient and loving with even the most stubborn of dogs. She has lots of energy, and attention to give, and will treat your dog like it's her own!
