Pet care experience

I started cat/dog sitting when I was 10 years old. I’ve worked with dogs from puppy-15 years, whatever they need I’m happy to help! I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing, bathing, and giving medicine.

Second review because the first one was very short and I wrote while rushing to a meeting. 😅 Super trustworthy and helpful! Kristen first did a meet and greet with my dog, who is senior and takes medication and is also reactive (but he’s a goober once he knows you). My dog was comfortable with her very quickly. I’m very protective of my dog, especially since he requires extra care and I need the person taking care of him to be responsible and extra alert. I felt comfortable with Kristen very quickly and even requested to book her twice immediately and it went very well. I trust her with my dog and would highly recommend!

Kristen was great walking my puppy Leroy. She was punctial every day and paid a lot of attention to Leroy and all the details that come with watching a puppy.

Safety, trust & environment

I would love to meet you and your furry friend before my first walk. That way you can show me what is best practice with your dog specifically. I’m great at following directions so whatever is required I’m happy to follow.

Information Kristen B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any behaviors I need to be aware of; such as food aggression, any no touch spots, does better with older children, aggressive towards other dogs, loves children, pulls on the leash, chases other animals, or needs medicine.

A typical day

I love playing with dogs along with going for long walks! Lucky for me there are multiple walking trails by my house. Some even have little streams that dogs love to play in, especially as we approach the summer month; as long as you and the dog are ok with water and mud! If not I am perfectly happy sticking to a paved trail, or sidewalks around a neighborhood.
