My world revolves around animals!

Pet care experience

I have worked in the animal care field as a Vet Technician. I am also apart of animal welfare groups on fb, promote animal rescues, and was the Volunteer Coordinator for the Pre Vet Society at Texas State while I went to school there. When you trust me to care for your pet, you can be assured I would treat them as if they were my own! Please let me know how I can serve your pet.

Kristen was attentive with my cat and eased my worries while I was away! She provided summaries with pics and vids, I’ll definitely be re-booking her!

Kristen recently watched our home and our year-old lab mix, Phoebe, for a long weekend. We were pleased with the service provided. Kristen took good care of Phoebe and the house was in as good shape as we left it. It was awesome that Kristen sent pictures of Phoebe and daily status updates.

She was amazing. Put up with a few unforeseen circumstances. Jaxie seemed to love her.

Kristen did a great job of watching our two 100 pound+ dogs and cat while we were gone! The dogs and house were in great condition when we returned. She sent pictures and a narrative daily to keep us informed of how our fur babies were doing. We will definitely be using her in the future!

I care for others pets as if they were my own. Each pet has their own routine in their home and I make sure to stick to that. This can be discussed when booking to ensure your pet gets exactly what you expect!

Information Kristen D. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds! If your dog is a little skittish to strangers, I would prefer a meet and greet to ensure your dog can be properly cared for before booking.

A typical day

During drop ins I make sure all food and water is good (litter box for kitties as well). I like to make sure they get plenty of attention, whether it’s playing with them with their favorite toy or just cuddling for our time. As far as walks I try to keep it a little different so if you book multiple walks I’ll do my best to change out route a bit each time for stimulation.
