Information Kristen M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything important that we need to be aware of with your dog! It is always helpful for us to know what time your dog usually eats, potties and walks, including what the first and last walk of the day are. We live in a neighborhood with many other dogs, so please let us know if you have any questions.

When Andy and I dog sit, we love to take the dogs around Carrollwood on walks and take them to the parks nearby, if they are up for it!

Kristen was absolutely wonderful! Very communicative, lots of pictures, and so sweet with our boy. He had the best time and she was super flexible with our travel schedule. We will definitely use her again!!

Kristen and her boyfriend always take SUCH good care of Hazel! Hazel takes medication daily and is extremely reactive to other dogs, but I never worry when she is with Kristen because I know she’s in good hands. Kristen also sends a ton of pictures and updates which gives me great peace of mind. I can tell that Hazel is happy and comfortable when she’s boarding with them, which is everything I can hope for!! Kristen and her boyfriend were also extremely nice and accommodating when I realized they I had booked the wrong pickup date and needed to extend Hazel’s booking. I would never hesitate to book with Kristen!!
