I have some time during every day of the week to walk, feed, and play with dogs and cats (or another kind of critter). On the weekends I have extra time for multiple check ins and walks!

I am extremely adamant about giving thorough updates and following your instructions and needs to a T. I will go above and beyond for your beloved animals. I take caring for animals very seriously, it is not just a job to me. They are living, breathing beings and while they are in my care their needs and comforts come FIRST! Being an animal and having your owner leave and not knowing what’s going on is stressful, and I know from experience that leaving your animals can also be stressful. This is why I am very diligent about making sure your animals are comfortable with me and that you feel they are safe as well. I always double check locks, latches, harness clips etc. to ensure the animals (and households) safety! I’ve had fence jumpers and table surfers so I am understanding of these behaviors and how to handle them. I have been in a situation where a friends dog got attacked by another’s. Although all dogs were okay, it was very traumatic but also a great learning experience. I feel very comfortable in my ability to handle a situation of this nature if it happens to arise.

Información que a Kristen C. le gustaría saber sobre tu mascota
If your dog has any special needs or allergies, please let me know! I am willing to work with more challenging dogs with some direction, and have experience caring for elderly animals and administering oral medication. I am not trained in administering injected medication, but if this is something you need, I would be happy and comfortable to learn from you. I am not certified in CPR but, I have watched many videos on this and have gotten tips from vets and am comfortable using techniques I’ve seen and heard if an emergency arises.

I love to take walks, and especially enjoy hikes because the terrain makes for a more well rounded exercise. I love playing fetch with dogs and think it’s a great way to get exercise in and helps form mutual trust between me and your dog. I love to walk with my dog Ivy Bug and am happy to bring your pup with us but I understand not all dogs are good with social and am happy to take them alone too. I’m comfortable bringing dogs to off leash areas if you wish for that, as long as they are well mannered and good listeners. I would first do a trial run with leash on to make sure your dog is comfortable hearing my voice and understands that I am the one to listen to for the day!

Experiencia en el cuidado de mascotas
I’ve had animals of all kinds (reptiles, ferrets, dogs, cats, fish, birds, etc.) since I was a kid. Throughout my 20+ years of life I’ve gained many skills in caring for animals and am comfortable caring for all kinds of critters. I’ve watched animals for friends and family throughout the years and understand the importance of household respect and ensuring the animals are safe and happy! I am also comfortable with bathing and cutting nails, as long as the animal is not aggressive with these activities.

Reseñas
I am so grateful that Kristen was able to care for my cat Sylvester last minute. She took great care of him and he looked very happy and comfortable with her in the pictures. Kirsten has great communication and I felt comfortable and safe having her in my home. I recommend her and would book with her again!
Thanks for looking after Myrtle!
Kristen C. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Kristen was so amazing with my pups! She gave them lots of love and attention and sent many pictures. She communicated clearly and enjoyed spending time with them. Thank you, Kristen!
