Pet care experience

I'll treat your pets like my own.

I've always been able to read animals very easily. I can pick up on their body language and am able to quickly tell what they need, whether that's a break, some water, or just a little extra attention (or if they want some space!). I'm comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs from all age ranges, and I adjust to each animal instead of treating every walk the same. I think pets are truly a gift to this world and deserve every ounce of respect.

Safety, trust & environment

I thrive on specific instruction and will follow your routine closely. I am extra careful to double-check that doors and gates are closed, and I think beyond the instructions to make sure your pet is taken care of. My goal is to make pet owners and pets feel completely comfortable with me in their space.

Dependable, kind, and a true animal lover. Kristen is punctual, responsible, and take commitments seriously. Just as importantly, she believes every animal deserves to be treated with love and respect, and she’ll treat your dog like family.

Kristen is highly empathetic and cares about every animal she meets and would give your dog the attention and care it deserves. She's dependable and easy to communicate with, too.

As a veterinarian, I am very particular for who I hire to walk my dog and pet sit my dog. Kristen has been working privately for my family, taking care of my dog often. I know first hand how much a pet's well being depends on the people caring for them, and I can confidently recommend Kristen as a dog walker. She has a genuine love for animals and a deep respect for all living creatures. She will treat your dog as their own, paying attention to its comfort, energy level, and safety on every walk. Kristen is reliable & responsible which is why I trust her with my own pet. Your dog will be in excellent hands.

Schedule

I'm a full-time product designer and I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I don't have many meetings, which means I can usually step away for a walk or a drop-in during the day. Every day looks a little different, but I'm available more than most, so send me a message and we can find a time that works for you and your pup.
