I love all pets, especially seniors

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover since childhood. I had my own dog sitting/boarding business while I was married and living overseas. I cared for pets for months at a time while military families traveled home to the US. I always care for pets as though they are my own. I snuggle with them on the couch, and share my bed with them. I just enjoy pets so much. They are, and forever will be, a part of my soul. (I know that sounds so corny. LOL) In my free time, I help network and transport shelter dogs to rescue organizations. My focus is bully breeds, special needs, and senior dogs. My favorite rescue is Frosted Faces Foundation, based in San Diego. They rescue senior dogs from the high-kill shelters in Southern California and are a remarkable organization. I consider it a real honor when someone chooses me to care for their furry family member. I know how difficult it is to leave them with someone while you are away. To give my clients peace of mind, I am sure to provide regular updates on their fur babies, along with photos of our adventures together.

Kristen was wonderful with our dog Cooper! She took the time to sit down with us and review Cooper's routine and understand his good (and bad) habits. We felt very comfortable with Kristen staying at our house, and she provided us with great pics and text updates to let us know he was having a good time. We highly recommend Kristen and are looking forward to using her again!

Kristen was super caring with my french bulldog. My frenchie had a back injury and followed my directions for the day. She was loving and caring my my frenchie. I will definitely use her services again. thank you.

Talk about having one of the sweetest most genuine experiences a dog and his owner could have. Kristen was on time and let me know of each step I needed to take to make sure our first meeting went well. I had never used Rover before so just like any other app it comes with some need to be nervous. Not the case with this one. I wanted to thank Kristen for making sure Cooper was well taken care of and that if I ever need another sitter in the future I am going straight back to her. She had questions and the app allows you to text and send pictures. I was able to answer anything else she may have needed to know without interrupting my plans. One of the easiest things I've done in years. Thanks Kristen for your time and consideration. Cooper and I will be booking again soon! Respectfully Kevin and Cooper.

Kristen was the first pet sitter I had for Sofia that was non-family. I was nervous because my sixteen year old poodle was having tummy aches the morning we left for vacation. I let Kristen know and she closely monitored her and she kept me updated frequently. She truly has a passion for animals and it was evident in how she cared for Sofia. She took her on outings to parks daily and was patient with her finicky eating. I look forward to using Kristen again, and I know Sofia does too!
