Pet care experience

Fluent in wags, meows, and chirps!

Are you looking for a pet sitter who speaks "dog," "cat," and "medication-hidden-in-a-cheese-cube"? Look no further! I’ve spent years immersed in the animal world, both as a lifelong pet parent and in professional settings. From the zoomies to the naps, I’ve seen it all and loved every second of it. Why pick me? Experience Galore: I have multiple years of experience working in both personal and professional capacities. Certified Peace of Mind: I am Fear Free Certified®! This means I’m trained to recognize and reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in your pets, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you’re away. If your pet needs oral, topical, or scheduled medications, consider it done. I’m comfortable, calm, and experienced in keeping their health on track. All Shapes & Sizes: Whether they are 5 lbs or 150 lbs, I’m great with pets of every scale. What’s included? Endless belly rubs and head scratches. Cats included- though I may have to leave the belly rubs out :) Regular photo updates!

Did a great job watching our cats. Played with them, made sure they had everything they needed and sent great pictures.

I am writing to highly recommend Kristen for her exceptional animal care. Kristen recently looked after my three dogs and my cat while I was out of town for three days, and I was extremely impressed with her service. Kristen was proactive, visiting my home in advance to learn my animals' routines and specific nutritional needs. She cared for them as if they were her own. Having worked for Charleston Animal Society for decades, I can confidently say that Kristen is a consistent, reliable, and trustworthy professional. She is skilled with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and birds. I give her my highest recommendation.
