Safety, trust & environment

I am responsible for the care of two cats, Bob and Casper, providing them with ample love, stimulation, and playtime with toys, as well as offering affection whenever they seek it. I ensure they always have access to clean, fresh drinking water. Additionally, I take Casper, my indoor cat, for leash walks in the backyard, where he enjoys eating grass and exploring new scents. I have also had the pleasure of caring for several dogs belonging to family and friends, offering them the same love and attention I give my own pets. I take these dogs on extended walks through my neighborhood, allowing them time to explore, mark, and relieve themselves.

Information kristen m. would like to know about your pet

Its important for me to know about any routines you have with your pet, any favorite toys, favorite snacks, or any fears (loud noises, wearing hats, ect.) to make your pets as comfortable as possible. This information allows for a stress-free, enjoyable experience and to build trust.

A typical day

When watching pets, I focus on activities that keep them happy and engaged. For dogs, I love playing fetch, tug-of-war, or taking them on walks to explore new places. Cats enjoy interactive play with feather wands or laser pointers, and some even like exploring outside in a secure harness. I also spend time cuddling, grooming, and doing treat hunts to keep them mentally stimulated. Each pet is unique, so I always tailor the activities to their preferences, ensuring they have a fun time!

Pet care experience

I have been a passionate animal lover my entire life and thoroughly enjoy spending time with pets. Whether it's caring for them while my friends and family are away or out of town, I always treat animals with the same love, respect, and attention I would give my own. I make sure to provide plenty of cuddles, playtime, and companionship to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for during their time with me.

Kristen M. has been so great with my 2 dogs. She has flexible hours and works great with my unusual travel schedule. Kristen is very attentive to the dogs and they love her! She makes sure they get plenty of exercise and walks and is diligent about giving meds when needed. Thank you for being a great dog sitter!

We've been using Kristen forever. She's the best. We usually take our vacations for about three to five days. We have not one, not two, but, three dogs and Kristen is able to watch and care for each one of them, as if, they were her own. She will feed, care for them and even take them for their walks. Kristen will usually stay at our house, when she can. We're so happy we can count on Kristen.
