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 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!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my first time working with Kristin, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! 🐱💙🐱💕 From the moment I met her, she had such a gentle, kind demeanor that I immediately felt comfortable trusting her with my two cats, Oreo and Nala. She even started taking notes during our meet-and-greet, which I truly appreciated. Even though I already had detailed written instructions, it showed me that she was prepared, proactive, and genuinely wanted to make sure everything was done perfectly. 📝✨ Kristin followed every instruction carefully and thoroughly, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. The biggest surprise of all was my super shy girl, Nala. She normally takes quite a while to warm up to new people, but by just the second visit she was already out and about hanging out with Kristin! 🥹💕 That is a huge deal and really speaks to how patient, calm, and caring she is with animals. Knowing that Oreo and Nala were comfortable, happy, and so well cared for made my trip so much more enjoyable. This was such a wonderful first experience that I’ve already booked future visits with Kristin! 🐾❤️ I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, attentive pet sitter. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of my babies! 🥰

Kristen was super and would recommend. First time we’d met, she lives locally and was able to stay the night at my apartment with Mimi whilst we were away. Very timely, good communication and updates and gracious. Will hire Kristen again when needed.
