Pet care experience
Hello, fellow pet parents! Post-pandemic life has reshaped many of us, and for me, it’s unlocked the wonderful opportunity to blend my work-from-home lifestyle with my passion for pet care. This means I can offer your furry, feathered, or finned friends the gift of time, attention, and active engagement, anytime they need it. I'm here to guarantee that your pets will enjoy an array of fun-filled, energy-burning activities if that’s what they need. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, a thrilling hike, or a rigorous run, we'll make the most of our time outside. If your pet is more mellow, we can stick to low key enrichment activities and plenty of attention. At the heart of my home is Kirby, my energetic Australian Shepherd. Together, we love getting out to different trails and spending time training together. Kirby's journey with me has deepened my understanding of positive reinforcement training, and it's a philosophy that shapes my approach to pet care. My past pets also included Bridgette, a sweet soft-coated Wheaten Terrier that taught me the delicate art of managing pet health issues. Administering medications, be it oral or IV, is a task I handle with confidence and care. My experience isn’t limited to dogs alone. My past with a mini lop rabbit has endowed me with the know-how to create a cozy, nurturing environment for caged pets. Cats are welcome in my book too! Over the last decade, my cat-sitting adventures have ranged from the playful kittens to the dignified seniors, and I love all the many personalities of cats. Openness and adaptability are the cornerstones of my pet care philosophy, meaning I'm prepared to care for all kinds of animals. Rest assured, your beloved companions will be showered with all the love, playtime, and watchful eyes they deserve while you're away. I am vigilant about pet safety and have curated a home environment that is both stimulating and secure, perfect for pets at every stage of life, from the energetic puppies to the wise old dogs. Connect with me to create a tailored pet care experience as unique and special as your pet. I'll make sure my time with them is safe, joyful, and loving. 🐕🦺🏡💕 Ready to schedule a meet-and-greet? Send me a message and let me know more about you and your pets needs :)

Kristen was very communicative during all stages!
Kristen is fantastic! She’s always so responsive and trustworthy to have in my home and walk my little nutcase
Kristen was wonderful, followed our instructions, and took great care of our bunny.
Kristen is kind and attentive. Provided so many pictures and would love to have her see my cat Ziggy again.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always ensure that I have a line of sight on whatever animal I am attending to, and do not leave them unsupervised. Having raised a puppy, I know all of the appropriate precautions that need to be taken to ensure that a puppy (or any animal) has a safe environment to play in.
Information Kristen G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your animal's preferences, favorite games, and any pertinent medical history so I can ensure that they have the best care possible.
A typical day
I am a very active person, so I can guarantee that I will be able to keep up with any exercise needs that your dog may have. I'm happy to take them on walks or runs on the local trails, or if they are a more laid back pup, I have mentally stimulating games or training that we can work on to make sure that they do not get bored.
