Safety, trust & environment

We live in a wonderful neighborhood where I walk our two fur babies (golden retrievers) daily. Our dogs are super friendly and always love to meet new people and pups.

Information Kristen B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or accommodations that would be helpful to their care. It can be something as simple as they prefer one leash over another or only like a specific treat. I get it with having two of my own, they can be particular and I want to cater to their needs.

A typical day

A typical day with my own two pups is to take them both out for morning walks then it’s time for breakfast. Our younger one then likes to play for a bit before he settles down. They like to hang out on our screened in back porch and sometimes hangout with me in the garden. They are fond of our sons, so a lot of time I can find them snuggled up with one of the boys. In the evening they get another walk and look forward to seeing their doggie neighbor friends who are also out for a stroll.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of a wide range of dogs, from puppies to advanced agers. I also cared for a lab with special needs for several years. I’ve taught our own two golden retrievers basic commands and love to walk them daily. I’m patient, compassionate, and look forward to caring for your dog(s) like I would my own! In my free time, I love to run, hike, and work in my garden - so basically anything I can do outside ☀️.

Kristen is an incredibly kind and compassionate person with a genuine love for animals. I currently have two Golden Retrievers, and they get so excited whenever she comes over to visit. I also had a fear-aggressive Rhodesian Ridgeback, Dexter, who occasionally needed a sitter. Kristen took the time to work with him and patiently earned his trust, helping him become more comfortable around her. Her calm, understanding approach made all the difference. I couldn’t have asked for a more patient, caring, and dependable person to look after my dogs.

Kristen was excellent with my 4 month old puppy! She was on time, reinforced some training, gave her terrific exercise. Highly recommend

Kristen was great with my pups! Both of my dogs are rescues and one in particular can be very timid. I can always tell when she'll be okay with someone and she was great with Kristen from the start. Kristen showed up at the requested times, sent plenty of photos and updates and I wasn't worried about my dogs one bit while out of town. Thank you Kristen!
