Highlights
Pet care experience
experienced/educated/passionate
I have been taking care of my own dogs and cats all my life as well as caring for friends/family’s pets for 15 years, I have done a lot of volunteer work at two shelters and fostered some until they were adopted or when they were healing from injury or sickness. I have experience with all ages, conditions, and bizarre situations! between house pets, farm animals, exotics, wife life, birds, reptiles, small pets Ive done it all! I am cautious, responsible, and reliable because animals are my true passion, and I cant help but spend extra time with each one- their company makes my day. it’s very important to me that your pet doesn’t get bored or anxious while his or her owner is away. I have a dental hygiene license and certification in CPR (human and animal🙂) and use my knowledge from that as well. I am currently taking classes for animal behavior and caretaking as well. I have taken care of newborns, seniors, the blind/deaf, the mildly sick, the terminally ill, and many other health issues. I have a clean driving record and pet seats in my car as well as carriers and harnesses of all sizes along with anything your pet could possibly need. toys, bowls, slow feeders, strollers, beds, grooming supplies, large and small crates, separation gates, pet cameras, puppy pads, doggie bags, seatbelts, light up and reflective gear for night walks, etc. same for cats!! . I can always work around your schedule to be available when needed! Feel free to let me know if you need plants watered, mail brought in, trash put out, supply run, anything. I will be your fur baby/babies’ new best friend! If I am doing doggie day care or boarding at my house, i have a large fenced in yard and tennis court. I have 2 small chihuahuas and 5 cats, and a fish. all completely harmless, but I usually keep my dogs separated on the opposite side of the house because they mostly sleep. The only dogs I cannot board are dogs that chase cats because it is too hard to separate them and it causes them stress. I will keep in contact with you as often as you please and send pictures and videos of our time together. Your dog or cat or any other pet will be in excellent and loving hands!! I have additional references fhrough other businesses I have worked for or still work for as well as my own individual clients upon request, which is what most of my clients are. And if you’d like even more references I can provide dental hygiene references, business management, and property rental management. I will also provide you with emergency contact information and anything else you may need.

Ratings and reviews
Kristen was very thorough and communicative!
Kristen is friendly and communicative. She dropped in on our two very shy cats and updated us with pictures, which we really appreciated. Would recommend her to anyone!
Wonderful sitter. My puppy would pull me to her everything she got out of her car with his tail a-waggin' feverishly! What more is to be said? That says it all.
Kristen was extremely attentive and caring. . She asked lots of questions before drop off and was very prepared. Our dog was sad to leave her! I highly recommend her and hope to use her again whenever I need to leave town.

Schedule
As of now my schedule is adaptable 99% of the time to accommodate your needs. I have a few appointments now and then and another flexible job but that shouldn’t cause any trouble with my duties!
