Outgoing educator and dog lover
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a friendly, energetic recent grad. I've been living in providence for 5+ years and love to walk around the city, go to parks & run. When I'm not playing with dogs, I'm teaching children as a museum educator. I have lived with dogs my entire life. My experience includes taking care of large dogs, like German Shepherds and Great Pyrenees, and also small and medium dogs like border collies, terriers and corgis. I have been dogsitting the past five years for professors and friends but have grown up taking care of animals. I love to be outside. I am active, love to run(especially with dogs!) When boarding with me, dogs will go on walks and trips to the dog park located next to my apartment. I love spending time with dogs big or small, anxious or outgoing.
Reviews
You will be very lucky to have Kristen as a care giver for your dog! My dog loves Kristen and I feel completely at ease when I know he is in her care. She is responsible, punctual and able to think on her feet and communicate well if any problems arise.
Kristen treats my dogs like they're her family. She has an easy rapport, commanding the dogs' respect while maintaining a gentle and loving manner. Exercise is something Kristen stresses, making the most of good weather to take the dogs on hearty runs. She is a valued and trusted dog-sitter. Tom H.
Kristen is fantastic! She is reliable and treats our fur babies like her own, taking them to the dog park and spoiling them with love. We have a new puppy who needs special care, and an older dog who needs a break from said puppy, and she is able to handle both of them seemlessly. I would highly recommend using her as a dog walker.
Kristen is probably one of the most warmhearted people I know, and animals can tell too! She can get in tune with any dog and truly understands them. She is also extremely responsible and meticulously follows instructions, be it walking a dog with a certain method or giving medication at the appropriate time. Your dogs will love her!

Before watching, please let me know if your dog needs any special accommodations. I love trips to the dog park, but am happy to go on long walks if your dog doesn't like others.
A typical day
I frequent the West Side of Providence, the downtown & Fox Point neighborhoods. I love long walks & and runs. When watching your dogs, we will take trips to local parks such as Dexter Street Training Ground, India Point Park and the Bell Street Dog Park, which is just a few steps from my home.
