I will love your dog as my own!

Pet care experience

I've grown up around animals my entire life and have a deep love for them. Unfortunately I'm not home often enough to have a dog of my own, so dog sitting and walking is the perfect way to get in my "doggy-fix"when I can!! I will truly love and care for your fur-babies, and have years of experience with dog sitting for friends and co-workers. My time with your pet will include lots of play time (whatever you dog likes best, frisbee, tug, tennis balls, etc) walk time and as much love and snuggles as your dog will appreciate! I do have a 14 year old daughter who also loves animals (she wants to be a vet!), however there wasn't a selection to show that I have an "over 12 kiddo" so wanted to make sure that was clarified!

Kristen was so great from her meet and greet to updating us while we were gone! She even braved the start of some storms to take our one year old puppy out for a much-needed walk her last morning with them. It was so fun to get pictures and updates throughout the weekend and she was great at communicating with us with any questions that came up. We would definitely use her again! Thanks Kristen!

Kristen did an amazing job taking care of our Chip and our home, she is very kind and caring. I happily recommend her and hope to be able to have her back soon!

Highly recommend. Very personable. Pets always seem content in the pictures we receive and when we come, they are not anxious. Kristen is great and is the first person I will check availability whenever we have plans to be out of town.

Information Kristen H. would like to know about your pet

I do have a cat, who is front declawed. He doesn't *love* dogs but is ambivilant if they don't chase him too much. Or I'll separate him in the basement so he can have some space - but would want to know if your dog has major cat issues and then just walks or at your house might be best. I've got experience with Addisons dogs and tri-pawds. No breed preferences but would want to get to know your individual dog and for you to get to know me and make sure it's a good fit.

A typical day

There are numerous beautiful trails by my house that are perfect for dog walks! If you (and your dog) are comfortable we'd love to visit the local dog parks. Or are more then happy to play inside with whatever toys your pup likes best. Each dog has their own personality and I always like to find out more about your dog and their specific needs. I've used crate training, or snuggling in bed - whatever works best for your dog! I do work full time, but have a fair amount of flexibility to work from home as needed.
