Highlights
Pet care experience
Tailored walks for every pup!
Hi there! My name is Kristen, and I'm thrilled to introduce myself as your potential dog walker. With 20+ years of experience in dog care, including walking,and sitting. I've developed a deep understanding and love for our four-legged friends. I specialize in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including semi-reactive ones like my own 100-pound companion. Having a semi-reactive dog of my own, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and clear communication while on walks. Through positive reinforcement techniques and careful management, I ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for both your dog and those we encounter along our journey. I'm committed to providing not just a walk, but a positive experience for your dog. Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or an adventurous hike in the great outdoors, I ensure your pet receives the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. I'm excited to meet you and your canine companion, and I look forward to the opportunity to become your trusted dog walker.

Safety, trust & environment
I also offer in-home care for your furry friend, ensuring their comfort and safety whether in your home or mine. I do provide crates if trained in one. I would require a meet and greet with my dog first to make sure they get along prior to accepting a stay in my home. This way to ensure the safety of both pets.
Ratings and reviews
Kristen was a lifesaver, helping me at short notice and jumping in to support Louie. She also gerry rigged a warmer coat option for him when the one I had was defective. Creative thinking at its best. Louie is thrilled with his new friend.
Kristen was great. My pup seemed to really enjoy having her check in. Highly recommend.
Kristen is fantastic! She is so comfortable with dogs and I say that given how she was not phased at all by our younger dog, Dipper, who is high energy and very excitable. She is very easy to talk to, understanding, and she picked up our walk routine with our dogs so easily that it was just so natural for her to come walk them and make sure they were all set with water and all before leaving. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone in need of a dog walker. She is definitely my first choice going forward. Thank you Kristen!
Kristen is the best! She always sends a good amount of photos throughout her visit. She leaves a great note to keep me informed on how Roman did during their time together. She is very quick to respond to requests and is extremely reliable. Thank you Kristen. Roman cannot wait to see you again!
Kristen was great. She made sure to ask if Roman had any special needs. I gave her a quick load down of instructions regarding Roman and she followed to the T. Roman can’t wait to see her again! Thank you Kristen.
