Pet care experience

Friendly and loving animal care

I have animals and love them more than I can describe. If you go out of town, I'd come to your house and care for your animals like I do my own. I've dog sat since I was a young kid, and in recent years began helping out friends and neighbors with their cats and dogs after moving to Flagstaff almost 6 years ago. I generally get along well with all animals, have a very calm and friendly demeanor with them, am excellent at following instructions in the case of possible medications or specific food cases, and absolutely love making animals feel loved. I can do early morning and evening walks or check ins, as I work full time. Depending on where you live, I can make midday checkins work as well. In certain situations I can stay at your home if necessary. I have more time on weekends and can do longer walks, or hikes, or general at home animal cuddling! Here are some specifics about what services I can offer and prices. I have drop-in visits set slightly below my dog walking rates. This is to account for the fact I will assume a dog walk will include feeding your animals and will take a bit longer than the 30 minute walk, unless otherwise agreed upon. A drop-in visit will be about 30 minutes of care to include feeding, letting out in a yard or such for a bathroom break, and some play/cuddle time. I'm considering house sitting all inclusive for the baseline of the following services: whatever feeding/general care your animals need, a morning walk and an end of day walk, and small household chores like bringing in the mail and watering plants. If more is needed, I'd like to adjust case by case. I want to give your animal the best care I can give them, and discuss your expectations, as well as my own, during our Meet & Greet. Prices will depend upon things such as geography, how many animals you have, their energy levels, walking time commitments, etc. Thank you in advance for you understanding! As previously mentioned, I am excellent at following instructions if your animal has special conditions or routines that must be followed. I treat animals with the utmost respect, as well as your home and personal belongings. You tell me how your animal needs to be cared for, and I'll happily do it.

Kristen was extremely reliable and took great care of my cat, Bennie. I appreciated the pictures, sometimes several, she sent me every day. When she returned my house key upon my return, Bennie walked up to her like she was an old friend; he seemed to like her very much. I would recommend Kristen without reservation to anyone needing a pet sitter. Thanks Kristen.

Thank you Kristen for taking such good care of Bennie. The video showing you playing with Bennie was great. It looks like Bennie warmed up to you right away. I will definitely request you on future trips when I do travel but I don't go away that often. I recommend Kristen to anyone needing a pet sitter without any reservation.

House Sitting • May 12, 2024

Kristen E. saved the day! Her quick response to my my 9th hour need allowed my whole family to enjoy my daughter’s university graduation. She was super flexible about when she could come and how long she could stay in our VRBO house in her neighborhood. She made sure our fur baby got dinner, a walk, belly scratches, and photos sent to us of her time away from us. Who could ask for more? Stellar help! Don’t hesitate to ask her to take care of one or more of your family members!

Any important medications that need to be administered are good for me to know, or special food needs or scheduling. Knowing how old your animals are will help me care for them the best that I can, ie if they need more frequent toilet breaks, extra attention if they're a puppy, etc. If your dog has extra high energy levels I'd like to know in order to be able to adjust expectations and plan accordingly.
