Availability

I work full time Monday-Friday from an office setting, so my schedule is not super flexible. I’m mainly available to sit and walk in the early mornings, on lunch breaks, and after 5 pm. My weekends are usually pretty open! I also don’t have a car in the city, so that’s another factor.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat all pets as if they’re my own family. I respect all animals’ boundaries and space, and I make sure I give them time to warm up to me.

Information Kristen F. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if they have any behavioral issues and if they can be around other dogs (in case we go to the dog park).

A typical day

I just recently moved to Chicago, and one aspect I love about the city is the ability to walk everywhere! So I’m excited to take dogs on long walks and around the different parks.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, so I’m very comfortable caring for them. My mom and grandma spent their lives boarding and training animals, and that carried on into my life. All my life, I’ve been around dogs of all sizes. I view animals as family members and take their care very seriously. I’ve had my cat Henry for 9 years now, and I recently adopted his baby brother Otis in May 2023. So I have experience with both cats and dogs. I treat my pets like they’re my children, and I plan to give that same attention and care to all the animals I sit and walk.

Kristen was an absolutely fantastic cat-sitter!! She was easy to schedule with, proactive with a meet and greet, and took wonderful care of my cat. I have zero complaints, and I would totally book again.

Kristen took excellent care of Llyan, winning over a grumpy old man and even coaxing him to take his medicine.

I enjoyed working with Kristen for my cat! She gave detailed updates and tons of pictures for the drop ins which I enjoyed. I’ll reach out to her again for any future needs!
