Quality Care When You’re Not There

Pet care experience

I recently moved to Calgary from Saskatoon where I have spent the past 3.5 years pet sitting full time, and I could not be more excited to meet many new furry friends here in this beautiful city! Growing up I have always been surrounded by animals. From Pomeranians to Siberian Husky’s; pups a few weeks old to beloved seniors. I have had a lot of experience with all different sizes, breeds and temperaments of dogs. I adopted my dog Joey from the SPCA 8.5 years ago and he is my entire heart and soul! Along with him unfortunately came a couple of health issues which has resulted in some major surgeries over the years. With that I have gained a lot of experience in caring for a pet that may be facing some health problems which may require some special care. Wether that be physically, emotionally or in terms of providing medication. I know first hand how scary it can be to trust somebody to take care of your baby, which is why I ensure to treat every animal in my care with the same love and respect I give my own. One of my favourite parts of Rover is how personable the entire experience can be, and how I get to send lots of pictures and updates so that I can help put that worry at ease. I absolutely love being outdoors and going on long walks, and unfortunately my little guy’s legs can’t always make it very far so I would love the chance to get to explore this beautiful city and all it has to offer with your furry friends! Caring for animals has always been my biggest passion in life, and I truly take a lot of pride in the work that I do. If you happen to chose me to be lucky enough to provide care to your fur babies, I can ensure you won’t be disappointed! I look forward to chatting with you! I do Rover full time and since I just moved here I am starting completely brand new client-wise. So I currently have full availability 7 days a week! I live in a pet friendly apartment building located in Marda Loop and am currently available to pet sit smaller pups there! I do have 2 cats so just as long as they are cat friendly 😊 I am also completely comfortable pet sitting at your home - where I would ensure all rules and training protocols are followed! I will also make sure your pet gets lots of exercise as well as lots of love and affection, wether that be at my home or yours!

Kristen did an amazing job taking care of my two cats, she gave them food, treats, brushing them and playing with them. And she took a lot of photos. You can really see how my cats look happy on the photos! I will definitely work with Kristen again.

Kristen is such a dependable walker! She has never missed a booking and always responds to queries promptly. She covered for us while we were away through two big snow storms and never missed a beat. We can really count on her!

Information Kristen H. would like to know about your pet

How is your dog with other dogs? Cats? Are there any health issues / medications that I should know about, or any allergies? What are your pups favourite treats and activities?

A typical day

I am still learning the different parks/neighbourhoods that are nearby, but I am very familiar with Sandy Beach which is a quick 5 minute drive from me and I would absolutely love to have fun with your pups there! I would also love to discover other new places to go and am looking forward to doing that with your furry friends!
