Hi there! My name is Kristen and I'm a creative living in Arlington. I'm a animal lover and want nothing more than to help care for you fur baby! I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm with horses, dogs, cats, cows; now I have a pup of my own. I have always had a love and desire to care for animals, dogs specifically. I grew up with a wide variety of dog breeds. I took care of these pups graciously and also pet sat for many of our family friends. Once I became familiar with Rover, I was super eager to begin dog walking. Dogs are the best, they are full of so much love! Why wouldn't anyone want to spend all day playing with pups? It's a dream! Dogs will get endless attention when they’re with me; my heart melts over any puppy dog eyes. I treat any pup as if they were my own, with love and affection. Along with that, I am all about open communication. I want to be transparent with my clients to make sure that all needs are met! My husband and my little pup Otis will be helping pet sit! Derek and I have had Otis for a little over 7 years now. Otis wants to be friends with every living thing! Derek has grown up around animals his whole life. His pup before Otis was a Bernese Mountain Dog, so he has experience with a wide range of pup sizes. I love to take my little guy, Otis, on hikes throughout the DMV Area, walks around the city and to all the local dog parks. I'm currently working from home, have fairly open availability & I hope to meet you and your dog very soon! Looking forward to talking with you!
