Highlights
Pet care experience
Furbaby Admirer
Hello, I've grown up with a house full of animals and continue the abundant love. We've always had (currently) several cats, several dogs, and over the years additional critters (birds, bunny, bearded dragon, geckos, tarantula, ferrets, mice, sugar glider.) I have always been the go-to for friends, family, and co-workers for pet-sitting. Usually for extended stays. Currently I have built a reputation with fellow scuba industry workers through word of mouth. I have worked with pets in need of medications. Primarily pills. Seldom needles. I do currently have a cat on medication. As well, I fostered a dog with paralysis. I've volunteered with a therapy dog through margate CERT since 2014. Coco The German Shepard Dog. She had introduced me to several other therapy pups and pigs who I've accompanied on several occasions. Primarily her and her handler Tom. As well, I worked for the Coral Springs Pet Resort.

Safety, trust & environment
I accompany the animals outside (if there is a backyard) to ensure their safety. When there is no time restriction I let the dog tell me when they are ready to go inside. Similar on dog walks around the neighborhood, we will go on extended walks if they wish. Play time as if I'm one with the dogs until they tire me out. As well, all of the furbaby cuddles if they allow.
Ratings and reviews
Kristen helped feed our cat on short notice and did an amazing job! Not only was she responsive, paid attention to detail, she’s an amazingly nice and interesting person. We are definitely using her again, and my wife and I would recommend Her to anyone. If we were giving her a grade for communication and style, it’s an A for this sitter.
Kristen provided loving and a patient care for my cat. Very clean and comfortable environment for my Mewtwo. It was his first time away from home, and he adjusted easily.
Kristen was awesome! She took care of our 2 dogs on Thanksgiving as if they were her own. She sent pictures and gave us tremendous peace of mind. She was upbeat and brought great energy! She allowed us to have a great time outside the house without any worry or stress about our dogs! Thanks Kristen! Highly recommend ?
Kristen is an amazing person who loves animals. She is very responsible and always goes above and beyond. She cares for all of the animals she meets and has taken care of my cat as if she was her own. I would recommend her to anyone.
Kristen is one of the kindest, gentlest, most responsible people I have ever met. She has been responsible for my dogs on multiple occasions over the years and she has always exceeded my expectations with their care. Kristen has a huge love for all animals. She is patient with their needs and seems to have an instant unspoken bond with them. If you are looking for someone to care for your animals in any way I highly recomend Kristen. Your pets will love her!

Schedule
I work until 1900 in West Palm Beach Monday-Thursday. I'm available to go evening pop-ins. (During winter season I can tend to run into over time). Sundays I'm normally off and rotate between rest, hobbies, and extra shifts. Friday and Saturday I'm normally on call for work usually until 7 p.m. but can be earlier and changed with advanced notice. In the winter and spring I normally have more availability pending weather conditions. Evening pop-ins and walks are best.

- It's important to know how timid each dog is. When meeting knew people of the reaction is to hide or is aggressive if not friendly. It's important for the safety and all being of animal and human. What are their quirks? Habits. Whatever makes them unique to be sure they are comfortable and well taken care of.
