Pet care experience

Kind, Trusted, Insured.

I love all types of animals! I have a degree in Veterinary Technology and have worked in veterinary offices (regular as well as emergency), a wildlife center, and a pet shop (Pet Emporium on Woodbury Ave). While I now work from home for a software company, my love of pets remains.

Kristen does an amazing job with our Labs and always keeps us updated throughout the walks. We know they’re in great hands and really appreciate the communication. Highly recommend!

Kristen is great. She housesat and took amazing care of our dog and bird. Like most pet parents our pets have idiosyncrasies (or maybe that's just us) and she was very accommodating and kept us informed on activities daily. She also was a highly conscientious house sitter leaving things better than when she arrived. We will definitely use Kristen again. Not only did we like her but our dog has a favorite new friend.

Kristen was wonderful with my two Springer Spaniels. She communicated regularly, was very conscientious, and they clearly loved their time with her. I will happily use her anytime she is available.

Safety, trust & environment

I carry my own professional pet-sitting insurance, which covers both your pet and your home while they're in my care. I understand everyone has their own way of doing things when it comes to their pets. Just let me know the preferences and routine, and we can keep things as regular as possible while you are not able to be there. Please note: My Constant Care rate is $250 per day. Care is considered “Constant Care” if the pet(s) cannot be left alone for up to 4 hours at a time.

Pets

A typical day

I will do my best to keep your pet's routine as normal as usual while definitely engaging in their favorite activities every day - whether that be going for a walk, a short hike, or cuddling on the couch.
