Best Pal for your Best Pal

Pet care experience

I love taking photos of animals and spending time with animal friends. My best friend of over 12 years, Bali, passed away in 2021 and housesitting helps me miss him a little bit less. I enjoy visiting new places. Reading and hiking are my favorite hobbies, but I also enjoy a gentle neighborhood walk or a game of tug indoors. I love all breeds, sizes and temperaments & each day with your pup includes 2-3 walks. Cats will get the attention they want (whether that's a lot or almost none). I am a life-long animal lover. I love puppy cuddles & using puppy exercise time as a time for me to get moving and explore a neighborhood.

Kristen was fabulous with our Great Dane! This was his first time with an over night dog sitter, and Kristen knew just what to do. Kristen was quick to respond and follow up with us through the entire process. Would highly recommend Kristen!

Kristen is amazing! Always on time and attentive to our dog. Love getting multiple updates and pictures each day. My mind is at ease knowing she is taking care of our fur baby while we are away.

Kristen was the perfect solution for us! We had never left our dog for more than 4-5 hours before this trip that lasted 8 days. During our Meet & Greet, Kristen gave us plenty of info about herself and her experience, as well as what we might expect for the first couple of days we would be gone. Each day of our vacation, she sent updates and photos. We had no anxiety whatsoever, and our dog adjusted well. We will definitely contact Kristen to sit for us next time we plan to be away. Thanks, Kristen - you're the best!

Kristen is exceptional! She was kind and very communicative. She kept us posted on our Emmy Lou several times throughout the day and sent us cute photos. It eased our minds knowing Emmy Lou was in such good care. We returned to a spotless house and a happy dog! We will definitely be booking her services again.
