I Love Dogs of All Shapes and Sizes

Pet care experience

Currently only accepting clients that I have already cared for. I have a large variety of experience with dogs. I have fostered and volunteered for the animal shelter. I have been a dog groomer and was an intern as a veterinary technician for a little while as well. I absolutely love dogs and other animals, and I have no problem handling complicated diets and medications to keep your family member healthy and happy. I have handled just about every breed and size of dog from the smallest Chihuahua to large Great Danes. I can handle dog aggressive and fear aggressive dogs within reason, and I do not mind tailoring my care for special needs dogs or dogs with disabilities. I know dog first aid and CPR, and I plan to renew my certification in the next couple of weeks.

Kristen is a very conscientious caregiver who really knows dogs, she took great care of our little ones. She even trimmed their nails when I asked her to! We're home now and they're looking for her! She asks for very specific instructions and follows them to a "T". She's also very willing to please, I'd drefinitely recommend her!

Kristen was reliable, and easy to work with. It was our first time leaving our pup home for this length of time and she helped ease my worry. I would book her again for sure !

Kristen was very professional and I felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her care. It was easy to connect with Kristen and she was timely and stayed true to her word and followed through with all of the items we discussed in caring for my two dogs. I received updates from Kristen and she promptly answered and texts I sent asking her for how the pups were doing while we were away. I would highly recommend Kristen.

Information Kristen M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if a dog has any aggression issues, particularly food or human aggression issues or if I cannot take them out in public, as I find that going to the dog park is a fun activity. I love large and giant breed dogs, but I am happy handling dogs of any sizes.
