I treat your pets like my own.
Pet care experience
I have owned dogs and all sorts of pets my entire life. I currently have 2 dogs: a 6 year old rescue mutt and a 7 month old English bulldog puppy. I also own a very spoiled pot bellied pig who lives in the house with his own bedroom. In addition, I have over 20 chickens, bearded dragons and a rabbit. I don’t have children, so these guys are the closest thing I have and love them just as much. Professionally, I have 7+ years experience in equine management, caring for 30+ horses, feeding, mucking, administering supplements and medication, turning in and turning out. I have 2+ years experience in working with a CT breeder for the dog breed Lagotto Romagnolos, caring for both breeding dogs and the puppies. This included vet checks and appointments, administering medications, general care and most importantly love. I have taken both equine and kennel management classes. I am willing to care for a variety of animals including, but not limited to, dogs of all ages/sizes/breeds, cats, small animals, chickens, reptiles, horses and pigs. I have trained my own dogs, so not only will I care for them, I can also reinforce good behavior and walk them politely with manners. I have experience in pet sitting (outside of rover) dogs of all breeds and ages, cats and kittens, small animals as well as farm animals. I have previously spent nights and weekends house sitting providing around-the-clock care and late night check-ins.
Reviews
If you are looking for a caring and trust-worthy pet sitter, I highly recommend Kristen for the job. I personally know how well she cares for her own pets and has tons of experience working with animals big or small professionally and personally. Kristen goes above and beyond for the care and happiness of her own pets and I know she will only give the best for yours as well.
Kristen is as wonderful of a sitter as she is a person. She loves animal of all kinds, big or small and is truly dedicated to the well-being and happiness of any pets in her care. Other than yourself, Kristen is the next best person who will love your pets as much as you do. From both personal and professional experience with her, I know Kristen will work to accommodate all of your pets needs and keep them as happy as possible while away from their owners. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pets like their very own, consider Kristen, who thinks of this as more than just a "job".
Kristen was amazing!! So reliable and trustworthy and she kept in great contact with me about my kitten and how he was doing. Using Kristen as a sitter could not have been more seamless and we appreciate everything you did!!

I do not do in-home sitting, but I am willing to take your dogs to doggy day care for drop off in the morning and also afternoon pick up, bring them to dog parks and walks as well as care in your own home.
Information Kristen C. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences or sizes. I would like to know if there is anything that makes your dog uncomfortable, Allergies, physical limitations or unwanted behaviors. If your dog is in training I would like to like what I can do to continue to enforce what he/she is learning.
A typical day
I enjoy going on walks in quiet neighborhoods, trails and hikes at nearby locations. We can also play in your own backyard or dog parks if that is something your dog enjoys. If your dog just wants to be let outside and simply do some relaxing with company and belly rubs, that is fine too, whatever your dog enjoys.
