I'm here to make your pet's day!

Pet care experience

Dogs hold a special place in my heart - I had a Shih Tzu and a German Shepard growing up and they were my world. I love the drastic differences in their personalities, they all are just incredible animals. I love walking dogs because it is important for me to get outside and enjoy nature, and the company of a dog always helps! I don't currently have a dog of my own, so I would love the opportunity to have your pup join me!! I also was a collegiate softball player so by association, I am really awesome at playing catch! I have a lot of experience with a plethora of different breeds, so I can assure you that your pup would be in great hands. I have three cats of my own and love spoiling them every day. I recognize that cats have very different needs than dogs, and I've had the chance to get to know how to weasel my way into a cats heart, as all of my cats have very different personalities! If you need someone to spend time with your cat while you're away, I'd love to get to know them. I've had experience checking in on or house sitting for people with cats, dogs, snakes, and lizards and am happy to accommodate whatever your household needs.

We rebooked Kristen for our cats and she was great with them. This was her second time looking in after them and they didn’t even hide. So glad we were able to book her again. She’s magic!

Couldn’t be more appreciative of Kristen. She took great care of our two cats as proven by the photos of them getting petted on every visit. One of our cats can be quite shy so that was a shocker to us. We will be happy to have her watch over our pets in the future.

Kristen was wonderful with our dogs, especially my special-needs (recently paralyzed) Jack Russell, Vinnie. We hired her to let everyone out first thing in the morning and last thing at nite while we were away on a much-needed one-week vacation. This involved extra effort for Vinnie, who can't urinate or defecate on his own. I can tell she did a great job with Vinnie, and all of them (five dogs!), by the looks on their faces in the photos she sent at every visit, and by the fact that they were all healthy and happy upon our return. I will definitely be hiring Kristen to pet sit for us in the future!

I have seen Kristen interact with dogs of many breeds and types; from sweet loving dogs to aggressive and intimidating dogs. Kristen has a love for dogs that is hard to beat, and it shows in her interactions with them. She plays with them at the level that they enjoy, gentle or rough, depending on the dog. She cares for them so well with her big heart. Most importantly, she is extremely responsible and will do whatever you need her to do to help your dogs thrive. I'm not sure who will enjoy the experience more, Kristen or your dogs!
