Pet care experience

Relocated to Clinton Hill, Brooklyn from Colorado after a 12 year hiatus. I have volunteered and fostered over 30 dogs from North Carolina to Colorado and have had small and big dogs my whole life. I have attended foster training seminars as well as behavioral training classes. I have spent 2 1/2 years caring for our sweet old lab with Degenerative Myelopathy (a progressive disease of the spinal cord that is similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). I understand the care and love that is needed for any special needs pets. Update: we lost our sweet boy in 2018 and in July 2019 we welcomed a sweet golden retriever gal. She gets a minimum 2 miles per day in the snow, on a trail, dog park, Fort Greene or Prospect Park before 9am. I work from home when I am not traveling for work thus have plenty of time to head out for walks, check ins, feedings, company or keep your pup at my house. Looking forward to taking care of you fur babies!

Fantastic!! Kristen was wonderful and both of our pups were happy. She took out giant puppy out and he got to play in the snow! We hope that they can stay with Kristen again soon:)

Kristen has been caring for and loving on my dogs for 7 years now. It’s a true blessing to know someone is taking care of and treating my best friends the way I do. I’ve also learned a lot from her many years of experience as a doggie parent.

Kristen has cared for my dog Hans on several occasions. She is one of the most conscientious, caring, and informed caregivers I have ever had for him. I have complete trust that he is in capable hands when he’s with her and happily recommend her to others.

Information Kristen H. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference! We do have a very sweet golden retriever who I would prefer to have you and your pup meet if they will be staying in our home. I will ask a lot of questions if I don’t find the answers in your profile.

A typical day

I love taking our dog on different outings every day. I do have a car and sometimes we pop over to other dog friendly open space parks before 9am. I have found no matter how much I hiked and tired out dogs, they still needed a stop at the dog park to socialize with their own kind.

I have always worked from home my entire adult carrier and thus have a very flexible schedule. There is nothing better than stepping out of the house for a new adventure throughout the day with our golden gal or a foster dog.
