In need of doggy love

I have lived around dogs all of my life, and cats a majority of my life. With that I will show your dog(s) the quality love that I would want shown with my pets, if that means taking them on a walk, playing with, or being around to give them comfort, I'm your girl. I have a need to make dogs like me, even an ornery dog a former roommate of mine had that only liked her until I wiggled my way into his heart. I currently live with an 11 year old miniature dachshund, and my sister owns a 3 year old hound mix breed that I look after when she needs, a couple of times I've watched her dog for over a week. I've been an overnight pet sitter at a friends home when they were on a week long vacation they had a large, and giant sized dog, I followed their routine of being let out, fed, given their (oral) medication, and walks. Rover will be a great way for me to get some exercise and have fun doing it with your dog. I'm currently job searching so I have a lot of time and flexibility in my schedule.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I do my best to keep things that will harm pets, such as foods or scraps up and out of reach. I look outside and make sure there isn't something a dog might bolt out the door for, such as another person or rabbit, before leaving the house or going for a walk.

Our senior pup had a great time with Kristen. She took great care of him and his aging body while we were away. She was kind, and timely, kept our house neat and communicated well the entire time she stayed here. Highly recommend!

Kristen has been taking care of Maize 3 time a week since last March. She also looked after Maize overnight in several occasions. Kristen is truly outstanding. I don't know how we could manage Maize's puppy year without her.

Kristen is SO amazing with our dogs who have some separation anxiety issues. We have used her multiple times and she is one of the best. We get lots of pictures and updates. She leaves the house clean and just how we left it. Would highly recommend her!!

Kristen has been outstanding for taking care of Maize (8-month old Goldendoodle) since March. We regularly rely on her for drop-ins and walking Maize a few times a week, and most recently house-sitting. Kristen is very reliable, responsible and keeps us informed of Maize's time with her, including photos. Maize is very happy with Kristen and we couldn't be happier than that.

Are there any triggers for your pet that I should be aware of ahead of time? Medications? Existing conditions? Favorite treats? I would like your pet to be as comfortable and happy as can be under my care!
