Pet care experience
I come to you with love in my heart for all animals. A flexible schedule to adapt to your needs. And many years of experience and education with all breeds and kinds of animals! I don’t mind administering medications if necessary, caring for young animals or geriatric. They all deserve to be taken care of! My speciality is taking lots of pictures, keeping you informed and keeping your pet happy! If you may be wondering about the age of some of my reviews… I took some time away from pet sitting due to moving states and no longer being in a position to adequately provide the standard of care I was use to providing my clients. I felt it was best to take a break than to provide subpar service. I hope that answers any questions! :)
Reviews
We absolutely love Kristen! Every time that she's house sat, she's gone above and beyond to treat our pups like family. We always come home to a clean house, she's fantastic with communication and sending pictures throughout each stay and she has a heart of gold. We lost our oldest dog recently and not only did she give our golden retriever extra love and attention as she knew he was grieving, but we also came home to the most thoughtful gift in remembrance of our sweet girl. We can't say enough good things about Kristen. She is a wonderful pet sitter, but an even better human being- we're so lucky to have her!
Kristen did a marvelous job of looking after our goldendoodle Beau. She is very attentive to him and kept us fully informed while we were away. Her husband and son also helped out, so Beau had lots of playmates! Our house was in great shape when we returned. We are very happy with Kristen and look forward to having her house sit again soon.
We had the pleasure of having Kristen care for our babies again, and are grateful she could fit us in her schedule on a rather short notice. Knowing she was there giving Cooper his much needed playtime gave us peace of mind. She has a warm personality that connected with my babies right away, as well as us pet parents. She makes communication easy, and is rather attentive to the particular needs of our babies. We look forward to her caring for our babies again in the near future.
Kristen took excellent care and provided extra love and attention to our cat. Highly recommend!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I try to make as minimal impact to your home as possible. I always take my shoes off at the front door. I make sure I follow any/all instructions for feedings.
Home
Information Kristen K. would like to know about your pet
For dogs if there are any behaviors to watch for like escaping or aggression. I don’t mind them I just like to be warned. Or if there are any sensitive spots on your animals they don’t like to be touched on.
A typical day
We will play with toys, go for walks (dogs), lots of pets and loves, enrichment time with treats, smell enrichment if they are into that (usually dogs are!), and tons of cuddles!

Taking care of animals is a way of life. I wake up and take care of the animals before myself. They help me start the day off right!
