Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and animals are okay to get on bed and couches. No smoking. Only 2 steps getting in/out of house. I have experience with post surgical care of my own pets.

Information Kristen M. would like to know about your pet

No special needs but she has bad arthritis in her hips so her back legs shake but she take supplements. She gets fed twice a day approximately 9am and 5pm. She takes some supplements that she thinks are treats so it’s very easy to give them to her

A typical day

I live near the hills and so it’s very quiet when taking my dog on a walk. Our neighborhood is a large circle lined with many courts. So the route is convinent to stay close to home

Kristen did a great job taking care of our Bailey. She is very pleasant and accommodating. She kept us updated and we were able to relax on our short trip knowing our fur baby was well taken care of.

Kristen is an incredible pet sitter! She watched my dog Roman a few times, and every experience was fantastic. She provided regular updates and made sure he got plenty of love and attention. Kristen has a natural connection with animals and truly cares about them. I always felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I highly recommend Kristen if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for your furry friend!

Kristen is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our furry troop! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets! When we came home after our weekend away our pets were relaxed and happy. During our time away Kristen sent us photos of our babies having fun which was really nice 🙂 I look forward to booking Kristen again in the future!! Thanks for doing such a great job, keep up the great work!! ❤
