Dog, Cat and Bunny Care
Hi! So, growing up with a cat, I always wanted a dog (isn’t that always the way?). Within 6 weeks of purchasing our first home, rather than paint or get furniture, we got Dexter, a now 16-year old sheltie/terrier/pug cross (neutered). 3 years later we adopted Juno, a purebred Shiba Inu rescue from Ohio. Juno crossed the rainbow bridge at age 13 in November 2025 and I quickly realized I have far too much love for pets in me to only have one dog in my life! Oh and my son, who has grown up with TWO dogs, says he wants a cat. I am pet first aid certified through Canadian Red Cross. I am comfortable with multiple dogs at once in any shape, age or size. I also have experience house sitting cats and bunnies.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kristen is excellent! She prepared our dog Pip for their stay together by doing not one, but two meet and greets. Kristen was very communicative during the stay providing us with daily detailed updates and photos. She was attentive to the needs of our anxious dog and was able to make him comfortable while we were away. Thank you Kristen.
I appreciated that Kristen suggested a meet and greet even though the sit was only for 60 minutes. She engaged with Rosie right away and asked thoughtful questions. I appreciated the detailed report and pictures, again despite this sit only being for 60 minutes. I knew Rosie was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kristen again.
Kristen did a wonderful job caring for Silver (cat)! She communicated well and took lots of photos! I would definitely hire her again in the future when needed.
Kristen was great with our 3 pups. She took great care of them and communicated throughout the day.
Kristen is an amazing dog sitter. From the first she walked our two male dogs, she demonstrated not only professionalism but love with the GSD and Jack Russel. They are both strong and energetic dogs but she handles them with grace. From the moment they met Kristen, both dogs took a liking to her. She has been very reliable and available to help us out when we needed her on short notice. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she delivers 5 star service every single time and the dogs are always happy to see her and popped out after she walks or babysit them. Thank you Kristen
Amazing service provided by Kristen. Highly recommend. Reliable and trustworthy. Thanks :)

Schedule
I am self-employed and work remotely so I currently have a wide range of availability (weekdays, mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends) to play with/supervise your pet!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced in yard with one calm senior dog (male, neutered) and two small sized crates available if needed. I am an avid walker and have experience walking multiple dogs at once. I also have experience house sitting cats, bunnies and fish and am happy to try and not kill your plants.
Pets
A typical day
I love getting to know the pets and letting them get to know me (I have lots of patience for pets who are a bit shy and may need some time to warm up). I love finding out their favourite toys and games and going from there. With owner permission I like to offer a new toy to the pet(s) as a treat while they're away from their person. Lots of excercise whether that's walks, tugging, ball chasing, danging cat toys, or a bunny obstacle course out of cardboard boxes. I love taking photos and videos of your pets either to share on your return or as "pupdates" - updates, but with "pup" - get it?
