I have my own e-commerce business so my schedule is very flexible - I work from home all day, therefore I'm able to care for your dog or cat and be by their side caring for their daily needs. I take dogs on walks at least three times throughout the day.

Information Kristen L. would like to know about your pet

Every pet is unique, and I want to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for! Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs, routines, or behaviors that I should be aware of-whether it's medication, favorite toys, or things that make them anxious. The more I know, the better I can make their time with me stress-free and full of love.

A typical day

Pet care is an important and enjoyable part of my day! I plan my schedule around the pets I'm caring for, making sure they get their walks, meals, and attention right on time. Spending time with animals is something I look forward to, so l always make sure they have the care and love they need every single day.

Kristen was wonderful! I had a two week vacation and my usual cat sitter had to cancel last minute. I was panicked because I needed someone I could trust since I have an elderly cat and another cat on medication that he needs daily. Kristen was able to accommodate a short notice booking and texted me everyday with updates and pictures. Because of her, I felt at ease when I was away because I knew they were being loved and in good hands. I highly recommend Kristen for boarding.

If I could give Kristen ten million stars, I would. She helped with an international pet rescue, picked up a cat I had never met at JFK and cared for him for 4 days before I could make it across the state to pick him up. She is literally a life saver. We could not have followed through with the rescue without her help! She was so attentive to his needs and sent pictures every day. I would recommend her to everybody.

My second time hiring Kristen, she is great with my cat and he is a high-maintenance guy 🤣 she is so patient and caring 💜 and I appreciate her also spending time to hangout with him while I'm gone and so grateful she has no problems administering necessary medications. Will definitely continue to hire Kristen in the future and highly recommend her!

Kristen was incredible. She was very communicative, sent plenty of updates, and was clearly a "dog-person". My only concern with boarding with her is that she will treat my dog so well he wont want to come back!
