Safety, trust & environment

When a client trusts me with their pets and entry to their home, I put myself in their position and act as how I would want someone coming into my home to take care of my own pets. I love all animals and providing the utmost care for pets means a lot to me. 🐾 I love to keep pets entertained and happy! We can go for walks, play, and run around. If your dog doesn’t like to play or walk or has a lower energy level, that’s ok too. I will, of course, pet them and show them all my attention. On walks I steer away from any other dogs for your dog’s safety. Pets are under my supervision in the yard at all times. Medication: I have experience with pilling cats and dogs, giving oral medication, and administering injections. I offer pet taxi services as well, I can transport them to grooming appointments, vet visits, etc. :)

Information Kristen M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or wants, behaviors that you feel I should know about, things they don’t like, specific likes, etc. • Complimentary meet and greet provided • Any additional visits before the booking will be scheduled as drop ins

Love caring for Dogs and Cats🐾❤️

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Kristen! I currently work for an amazing Dogwalking/ Pet Care company. I’m an equestrian of 12 years and I have a dog & three cats. I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, most breeds, and temperament levels. I am also familiar with anxious dogs that may need a little more time to warm up to strangers. The most important thing is that your pets are treated with love and care! ❤️🐾

Kristen took wonderful care of our dog, Chica, on August 1. She visited our home three times throughout the day and kept us updated after each visit with detailed notes and plenty of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear that Chica was comfortable with her and enjoyed spending time with her. We were very happy with the care and attention Kristen provided and truly appreciated her professionalism and reliability. We wouldn't hesitate to book Kristen again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
