Dog Walker/Former Vet Receptionist

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Kristen and I'm a lifelong animal lover. I currently have an orange kitty son named Loki, and he is my buddy (my first photo is us relaxing). I have read Jackson Galaxy's book and studied his techniques and philosophies to offer my cat his best, most "mojo-fied" life :). I've also read and familiarized myself with cat communication and signals, and firmly believe that they communicate clearly with us if we are willing to learn their language (ie: they aren't dogs). Speaking of dogs, I adore them. I grew up with dogs and really bonded well with them and developed trust. I have worked in the past as a front desk receptionist with VCA Animal Hospital. I also volunteered to walk and play with the dogs at the local animal control shelter back home in Alaska. Additionally, I house sat for friends and acquaintances at times. Being an apartment dweller, I have chosen not to adopt a dog (though I would LOVE to!) until I can own a home and have the proper yard and space for them. In the meantime, I think walking and spending time with them through programs like these is a great alternative! Exercise, outdoors, and animal friends, what isn't there to love?! Please consider me for your walking and drop-in needs. Thank you for reading! ☺️🐕‍🦺🐕🐈🐩

I've known Kristen for close to 30 years and in that time, I've always noticed how loving and gentle she is with animals. She has an intuitive empathy, especially for cats and dogs. Kristen is very knowledgeable when it comes to dog training as well. She's honest, authentic, caring, and attentive to detail. I've seen Kristen advocate for animals many times, as she is very concerned for their safety and well-being. I know she would be a responsible and caring addition to any pet's life.

Kristen watched my 2 dogs and cat when I went out of town for 10 days. She even got my 2 crazy dogs to walk at the same time which I could never do! She also kept great communication with me which helped peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

I am not offering services from my home as I am a renter with a very timid kitty. I am familiar with dog and cat behavior and am intentional with creating the right calm energy in myself when interacting with other pets. I am very attentive to surroundings and focused on my furry client friend rather than distractions on my phone and the like. Their safety and enjoyment is my top priority. My own pet is not just a cat, he is my family, and I aim to treat anyone else's pets with the same regard and attention 😊

Information Kristen L. would like to know about your pet

How do they behave on leash, around other dogs, around people... what are their favorite treats and toys? Would you like them to learn a particular trick? Do your kitties have a fun toy or game they love? Im all for enrichment and happiness, and want them to have their best time during our visits :)

A typical day

I love to frequent all the parks in the Courcelles and Landings areas. Ample parking, beautiful scenery, and room to play catch as well as path walk :)

It's also a varying schedule depending on client bookings, so some weekends I may have more availability, just ask! :)
