Availability

I have structured my schedule to prioritize reliability, flexibility, and full attention to each pet I care for. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop in visits, and can also care for puppies while you are at work or away, helping maintain their routine and energy needs. This allows me to be consistent with feeding, exercise, medication, and any special instructions. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trust and communication, and I am committed to providing dependable care, regular updates, and genuine attention and affection for every pet I look after.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care in both our home and our client’s home depending on what is best for the pet. I have access to a large amount of space for walks and playtime, and can crate your dog if preferred, but I also am completely comfortable caring for them without a crate. I am happy to have dogs in my home where they can relax, play, and use toys throughout the day while receiving consistent attention, structure, and care.

Pet care experience

I’m a huge dog person and have experience caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs. I have a 1 year old French Bulldog, so I’m very familiar with high maintenance breeds, keeping up with routines, and managing food sensitivities, and I know how important it is to follow feeding instructions carefully. I’m comfortable with dogs that need plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I’ll treat them like my own while you’re away!

Kristen watched my dog Jeter and did amazing! She would always communicate very clearly and kept me updated while she was talking care of Jeter. Definitely recommend her services!
