Experienced, Compassionate Pet Care Provider
Pet care experience
Hello there! I've dedicated my entire life to loving and nurturing animals of all kinds, particularly dogs. With the privilege of owning two dogs, I've gained valuable insights into meeting the unique needs of both puppies and senior dogs. My background includes experiences with professional dog training, and I'm deeply passionate about fostering positive relationships with our canine companions. While I've primarily cared for spirited terriers, I cherish dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether strolling through city streets or embarking on nature trails, I find joy in every moment spent with a furry friend by my side. Although I haven't personally owned cats, I've lived with them and provided attentive care. Moreover, my experience extends to the care of tropical fish, rodents, and reptiles, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of pet needs. I understand the apprehension that comes with entrusting your beloved pets to someone new. Rest assured, I approach each furry family member with the same care and devotion as if they were my own. Your pets will be in reliable and loving hands with me, guaranteed. Let's create paw-sitive experiences together!
Reviews
I 100% recommend Kristen as a responsible and loving pet caregiver and a wonderful human. She is my and my pets' top choice of caregivers, and I am fussy about the care my dogs, cats, and fish receive. It can be difficult to leave pets behind when we go away, but it is so reassuring to know that Kristen is caring for them. She is trustworthy and attentive, and that is priceless!
I’ve known Kristen for a long time and she is an incredibly kind and conscientious person. She loves animals dearly and gained the trust of one of my energetic-anxious rescue dogs quite easily, which is not an easy task. I’ve worked with her as well and she is timely, organized and dedicated to doing the best job possible. She will be an excellent caregiver for your furry family members!!
You MUST hire Kristen! I live in the USA. Kristen, and her mom and dad are my neighbors for 7 years now. I hit the jackpot with her and her good family. Kristen is a wonderful, kind, smart and considerate woman. She loves people, plants and animals, having been around them her whole life. She has a wonderful dog here at home by the name of Karl whom she trained. I love Karl... he is so sweet. And one dearly departed Oliver. Kristen has taken care of my cats, Lily and Abbey, while I went away, and they love her. She ways takes time to sit with them and pet them when she comes to visit. She recently came for a holiday visit and my two cats missed her dearly, and so did I. You can trust Kristen with your pets and your home. (Kids too! She has nieces) She is impeccable with her word, always on time, and will leave you relaxed and confident that you made the right choice. She also just got an A on her master's thesis studying abroad, alone, away from family..... that takes guts, strength and determination...Well done! I would absolutely hire her, help her find her next roots and connect her with everyone you know. But then again, that is me, a senior citizen with little time, a great sense of humor, and workaholic tendency. I know Kristen 7 years, and I can't wait to see how she impacts the planet! I absolutely love the woman she is and will become. ... I miss her dearly... and I am so very happy for her and her life journey. Let your pet decide .... pets know good humans... and she is a good one! I wouldn't hesitate to hire Kristen!

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a loving and safe environment for pets. Having owned dogs, I understand that they can have a knack for getting themselves into trouble but I am responsible, attentive, and have a deep understanding of their behavior and needs.
Information Kristen L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if you dog has any special needs I need to attend to. ***I have experience with reactive/highly sensitive dogs and I am happy to work with them to best support them. ***
A typical day
I love taking dogs out in nature as I think this is really important for their physical and mental health. Ideally, I would give your dog some physical affection for them to warm up to me and feel comfortable and we would play with their favorite toy. Then we would walk around the neighborhood and nearby park, enjoying new and old smells and new people and dogs! If permitted, we could play fetch or chase in the park or just go for a nice, long walk by the river.
