Kristen is so sweet!! Our whole crew absolutely adored her, and she took the best care of everyone while we were out of town. Our shy pup warmed up to her immediately! She sent so many pictures and updates through the weekend and was very responsive! Will absolutely be booking Kristen in the future for our upcoming travels / events! Thank you so much ❤️

Kristen is one of three friends/ family members that we trust to watch our dogs. We have three bully rescues and a mini dachshund. They all have special needs of some sort and she is phenomenal with every single one. I am extremely picky about who watches our dogs since we have 3 large, powerful dogs and one is reactive. There is a very specific way some things like feeding and bedtime need to be handled and she is on top of it 120%. She is patient and loving, and attentive to detail. There’s never a doubt in my mind that she thinks of our dogs as family and treats them as such. Of course, she just happens to be one of the best humans I know in general, too. I couldn’t recommend her more to any pet parent!!!!

My pups adore Kristen so much it makes me feel better about being gone. Every picture I get Daisy and even my anxious Jazzy look happy and entertained! I always trust her to watch my babies!

I know I can rely on Kristen to watch 2 cats and 1 dog. I've been using her services for over a year now and she's always been prompt to respond and flexible with my schedule which is super helpful! Plus she sends the cutest pics and updates about my babies. Very responsible and engaging with pets and clients! Cannot recommend her enough.

Kristen is my pet’s favorite person! She takes every opportunity to give a little extra love and attention. She goes out of her way to make sure our fur babies are not only taken care of but happier. One of our babies has special needs and she never misses the mark with care. She always sends a detailed update and I love the photos and videos she sends of my babies while I’m out of town! Thank you, Kristen for putting my mind at ease and loving my pets as much as I do!

If there are any specific care needs please be sure to communicate that clearly with me, and if your fur baby is needing extra attention have a clear line of communication available for updates and questions if needed. I’m huge on communication! :)
