Kristen was amazing! I felt really comfortable leaving Maggie with her and Maggie had a blast! Kristen asked great questions about how to take care of Maggie and communicated really well about how she was doing throughout the stay. I would definitely have Maggie stay with Kristen in the future!

Dog Walking • Apr 26, 2024

Kristen has taken great care of our 11 yr old pup several nights at her home and on walks from our house. She's been an excellent communicator, sends pics or videos, and truly shows great joy and care with our fur baby. Highly recommended!

House Sitting • Oct 27, 2023

Kristen was a great sitter! She spent time playing with my dog, keeping her busy and entertained. She had great communication and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Kristen and would book her again.

Safety, trust & environment

We have experience cat sitting in our home and all goes smoothly. We ensure doors are closed and locked at all times so there is a 0% chance of escaping. We also live next to a bike trail for great long dog walks!

A typical day

Your dog will have the best time ever. We will be constantly be playing with toys or snuggling. We are big hikers and walkers - so getting my 12k steps a day is perfect for a dog by my side!
