Pet care experience

Pets are Family

I've helped care for all kinds of animals, from baby chicks to horses since I was a little girl. I had my first dog about 15 years and he was like my baby. I currently have a chihuahua and mixed breed (Italian greyhound/jack Russell). I can care for birds, fish, and reptiles as well. I'll even feed your chickens. I have 4 years of experience fostering puppies and dog sitting as well. I'm flexible on hours. I love to go on walks, play, and make it a fun day! Pets are family and I would care for yours like they were my own. While following any instructions you give, I'll ensure your pet is safe and accommodated at all times.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

With guidance on how you'd like me to care for your pet, I can be accommodating. If your dog plays well with others, and you are looking for boarding, I have a large fenced in yard and a safe neighborhood for walks. I can follow your feeding schedule, no matter if it's dry, wet, or raw foods. I can come morning or afternoons, or both if you need me to come to your home.

Kristen was great! She was very communicative and took very good care of my dog for a whole week! My dog unexpectedly got sick and she was very quick to take him to the vet and keep a close eye on him. Will definitely be using her dog sitting again. My dog came back very happy and healthy!

Kristen did an excellent job helping us feel comfortable leaving our Layla with her. We don’t board her often - so doing a get to know was great! Kristen made us feel great about the care the she would receive and during her stay she sent updates and pictures- which were great! Her home is clean and safe for pets and she is a great sitter! Will book with Kristen again!

Kristen was amazing. I really nervous leaving Waylon for such a long time it was 21 days. She sent me daily pictures and told me about his day. He reassured this mom's heart. She payed attention to his needs and dislikes. Waylon had been attacked by a dog before and was terrified of big dogs. Waylyn is not small he is a 110 lb Chocolate lab. Kristen recognized his distress when new dogs came and adjusted the situation to accommodate Waylyn, I truly and forever thankful for this. I will be using Kristen again. Thank you for taking such great car of my baby!!

Kristen is kind, communicative, and doesn’t deviate from loving and caring on your pet. She watched my pup and my gecko for nearly two months as I was coming back from a deployment. She gave me regular updates, troubleshot when she couldn’t get a hold of me, and stayed flexible as I made it home. My pup is on medications and Kristen not only followed the directions, but my pup left her in better shape than she had arrived there! I was extremely thankful for her patience and coordination to make sure my critters were well loved and cared for. Thank you, again!

Kristen did a wonderful job taking care of Pierre. She kept us up to date on his care and status, plus provided excellent photos. I highly recommend Kristen and will use her services again.
