Happy and excited to pet sit!
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs my whole life, and love to help take care of them! I’ve dog sat many times in my life for neighbors, friends, and family members. I pride myself on being the first person they reach out to, and I always say yes! I have experience walking, feeding, and bathing dogs, as well as some minor experience in training.
Reviews
I am a long time family friend of Kristen Benson. She is one of the most mature, dependable, intelligent and compassionate people I know. Any family and their pets would be lucky to have Kristen as their pet sitter. She would take care of any animal as if it were her own.
Kristen was the best dogsitter we’ve ever had! She watched our dog Bogey, a 60 lbs Goldendoodle, when he was 8 months old. She took him for long walks around our neighborhood (not an easy feat in itself as he is a puller), brought him for a hike nearby, and played fetch with him in the backyard. She sent daily updates with photos, so we were able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in good hands. When we returned from our vacation it was clear Bogey adored her, and she even had the house cleaner than how we had left it. I would 100% trust Kristen to stay with Bogey again!
Kristen is an excellent pet sitter! She loves every dog she meets and cares for them as if they were her own. Kristen is trustworthy, reliable, patient, and caring. She provides dependable and worry-free care for your pets!
I highly recommend Kristen as a pet caregiver. She is an exceptionally responsible and loving young lady. She has been involved with the love and care of three of my dogs even as a young girl - two golden retrievers and currently my mini golden doodle. She and her family have always had dogs that were very loved and very much a part of the family. Her beautiful personality is totally well suited for pet (and owner) caring!

Safety, trust & environment
I am comfortable following any safety preferences you need for your pet. I am also comfortable working with crates, harnesses, and leashes if your pet requires them.
Information Kristen B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special considerations! I would be happy to give them medicine or specific dietary requirements. Also please let me know if your dog enjoys other pets or prefers alone time!
A typical day
I love going for walks by the water or hikes! Spending time outside is always fun with dogs. I would be happy to take your dog somewhere that has lots of other dog friends or is more quiet if they aren’t super social!
