Animal Lover Seeking Furry Friends

Pet care experience

Hi! My love for animals was instilled in me from a very young age and I have experience caring for all types of dogs, large and small, as well as cats, snakes, lizards, and fish. My husband and I currently have two dogs, a 3 year old mini bull terrier and a 1 year old pitty mix. Both of them love making new friends and are excited to meet your babies. We own our house and have a fenced in yard and live very close to trails where we can exercise your pet. We are very calm and quiet homebody types and it is rare that one of us is not home to keep an eye on and entertain your darling. I hope to make dog and cat hangouts my full time job and until then will be available most weeknights and weekends. Please reach out for any additional questions!

Kristen continues to be our favorite sitter. Her updates are frequent and detailed and her photos of our pups are the BEST.

Information Kristen D. would like to know about your pet

Do they get along with other dogs or do they need to be the only pet in the house? Where do they sleep at home? Are they ok being gated into a room for short periods of time? Are they crate trained? How often do they usually go potty?

A typical day

We have a backyard that is perfect for playing fetch and we live close to trails on the east side of Austin where we can go for hikes. Our mini bull terrier is a ball of energy and always loves meeting new dogs and engaging them in play time.
