I LOVE ANIMALS!!!
Pet care experience
I have had cats and dogs since I was a little girl. As kids, my siblings and I were expected to take good care of our pets responsibly and with love. As I grew up, my pets helped me through all the good times and the bad. During my college years, I worked for my mom at her Grooming shop. I would bathe and dry the dogs, cut their nails and comfort them during the grooming process. My mom and my stepdad actually breed collies and have them shown in competitions. Pets have always been a big part of my life. I didn't know life without them! I will love your pets like they’re my own.
Reviews
Kristen!!! Wow!! Maggie LOVES HER!! One year ago we had a last minute fury addition to our family three weeks before we went on a 10 day vacation. Maggie (5 lbs., 12 weeks old, Lahasa Poo) was just getting used to a new home, new parents, potty training and such puppy things... so we had some concern about leaving her for ten days! We asked Kristen to stay with her, continue the training and love her like we do. We left super detailed instructions (definitely helicopter parent style..lol) for how she should care for our Lil Maggie. Every time we video called Kristen to check in, Maggie was either on her lap sleeping or trying to get Kristen to play. By the time we got home, Kristen had Maggie potty trained, sitting, staying and content. Over the last year whenever Kristen visits Maggie's crazy excited to see her and stays by her side. We can't say enough about how we appreciated Kristen's professional and attentive attitude toward Maggie during a very pliable period as a puppy. Kristen is a great choice!
Kristen is a fun, energetic, caring, loving person. Her positive attitude is felt the first time you meet her. She has cared for my two cats numerous times. She is honest and reliable. Plus she will give your cats the TLC needed when you are away. I highly recommend Kristen as your pet sitter.
Kristen and I have been friends for a few years, and she absolutely loves animals. She has owned dogs and cats her entire life and she welcomes them into her life as family. Your dog will surely be happier and feel loved after meeting her. She pet sits for me frequently and my fur-babies are always very well taken care of. 10 out of 10; I definitely recommend.
Kristen has watched our 9 year old rescue several times. Our dog, Ty, adores her. It’s nice to go away and know that your dog is in good hands.
About Kristen H.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In most cases I would prefer to care for your pet in his/her own environment. However, I can be flexible if the circumstances call for it. My home is a small, upstairs apartment (may not be suitable for big dogs, but we can talk). I live in a very safe and calm neighborhood, perfect for going on walks or runs. I am just a couple miles from a perfect park for playing and exploring.
Home
Information Kristen H. would like to know about your pet
I do not have breed preferences. I would like to know the general behavior of the pet just so I can care for them the best way possible.
A typical day
We will definitely go on walks and enjoy the outdoors! I love to run and explore parks in the area! I also like to hike, throw a ball around and just be active. It would be awesome to have a dog to do that with every now and then!
