20% for your dog's new fav sitter!

Pet care experience

I grew up in a home that has always had at least one dog in addition to other critters! I have my own dog now who is my little sidekick and any activity where I can bring him along is the best. I often care for my family members' dogs and have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medication, and dogs recovering/rehabbing from surgery. Use the code KRISTM48986 for 20% off your first service with me!

Kristen was super awesome, my baby Toby loved her, and I know because he was happy when I came home, he wasn't sad and he ate, that's huge. She was super punctual with her visits, she send me pictures and gave me reports, i loved working with her, she made it easier for me to be at peace on my trip without worrying for my baby at home. Thanks Kristen!!

Kristen gave great care to my puppy. She sent me pictures from time to time to update me and was very flexible to accommodate my time. Highly recommended! I already booked another stay with Kristen for my puppy.

Kristen helped care for Bandit, our pomeranian, following IVDD surgery. Care included, medication mgmt and moderate excercise. She was amazing. Highly recommended. She is warm, nurturing and very dependable.

Kristen takes the best care of my fur baby! She sends lots of pics and is always communicative while I am away. I have such a hard time trusting people to take care of my dog, but I’ve never had to worry when he is with Kristen. She is knowledgeable and professional. Thank you, Kristen!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a sweet and laid back older dog named Ralph who loves company. I do have a large crate with a bed that Ralph does not use, so if your dog uses a crate you don't have to worry about packing one when they come over. Home is dog-proofed for the average well-behaved dog. I only mark available the dates I plan to be home all day or most of the day so your dog is rarely alone/with my dog unsupervised. I have a Furbo camera for monitoring pets when I am not home, for peace of mind.

Information Kristen M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs ahead of time, or any behaviors/habits of which I should be aware. I am experienced with dogs that have special medical and physical needs. My family dog had spinal surgery due to IVDD, so I am experienced with special handling for injuries, physical therapy appointments and home exercises, and oral medication schedules. Elderly and anxious dogs will feel comfortable in my quiet, childless home. Dogs that will do best in my home are ones that can get along with my dog, who is friendly and lower energy.

A typical day

Daily activities with your dog will include regular walks around the park and neighborhood around me. They will love all the things there are to see and sniff! Your dog will enjoy playtime and mentally stimulating-activities and plenty of cuddles!

Availability

The days I offer availability are days where I will be home all/most of the day. For this reason I typically only offer my weekends and work from home days for availability, so you can be sure your dog will not be alone. Currently I only offer overnight care on the weekends so that I can be present with your dog and monitor interactions between them and my dog.
