Dedicated to long walks!

Pet care experience

Covid-19 Update: I am fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and am willing to show proof upon request. I continue to wear masks indoors if other folk are in the house i.e. housekeepers, owners, etc. Profile Info: I am a pet sitter with 10 years of experience. I will go to any length to ensure a dog is comfortable and happy. The type of dogs I have served ranged from dachshunds to greyhounds, puppies to old dogs, and excitable pups to slow to move dogs. I have experience with barkers, nippers, and growlers. I compassionately serve untrained dogs. I have experience administering medication and special care for animals. I use proper dog walking technique. While walking with barking dogs, I will keep the dog at bay while other dogs pass. I am fairly flexible. Knowing that your pet's schedule is important to them and to you, you can count on me to be punctual. Please send your request with more than 24hrs notice. I love all animals! Dogs, cats, bunnies, chinchillas! Message me for non-dog rates! Dog Walking Notice: Due to a back injury I no longer can walk dogs 100lbs+ that are known to pull. This has been a tough decision, but ultimately what's needed to ensure the safety of your dogs as well as my back. I can still continue energetic play in enclosed yards for 100lb+ dogs and walk multiple dogs at separate times. Any clarification needed, message me!

Safety, trust & environment

I always try to care for your dog the way you care for your dog. Some owners use treats to train others use words of encouragement. You know your dog best. I'm here to take the reigns while you are gone.

Information Kristen L. would like to know about your pet

Know that I require a meet and greet for all new clients. I want to ensure that I am a good fit for your dog or pet. Make sure to have your veterinarian and emergency contact information ready. Some Questions I typically ask are: What's your dog's typical schedule? What's your dog's behavior on walks? What's your dog's commands? How does your dog react to different animals, humans, strangers? Does your pup experience separation anxiety and if so how does it manifest? Does your dog take any medication, allergies, etc.? How much to you feed your pup? Where is your dog allowed in the house?

A typical day

I love the let the dogs interact with their environment and do their version of "seeing" through sniffing. I love playing tug o'war, fetch, soccer- anything to stimulate the brain and body. I love giving belly rubs and making sure the dogs are as happy as they can be.
