Treating your pets like family
Pet care experience
I have a genuine love of dogs and they sense that. I have worked in childcare for 7 years and been a dog parent for 10+ years. I've sat up to 14 dogs and feel confident that I can handle any situation that might arise. I'm also experienced with puppies! I’m a logistics professional, just moving back to the Mechanicsburg area from Charleston, SC. My most recent fur-baby was a mastiff boxer mix rescued from off the street and placed in the Grafton prison program from Ohio. When starting a new job I like to meet the family and dog first, this way your pet is comfortable with me and y'all get to know me a little bit. I do my absolute best to follow your instructions to the letter, whether that's medication or dietary restrictions.
Reviews
Kristen was very good with my dogs. They loved her and seemed very content and happy when we returned. She kept everything so nice and clean, very nice to come home to.
Kristen is an extremely responsible pet caregiver; I have used her services numerous times at this point with my pet, Sabotage, and have always been confident that all will be well despite him living up to his name. Each time I've come home I've found Sabotage relaxed and acting normally, which had not been the case with previously when I had to leave for any amount of time. Kristen communicates reliably, follows all care instructions to the letter, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
Kristen is wonderful! She's watched my puppy on multiple occasions when I've gone out of town. She made sure to keep him company so he didn't get lonely, and sent pictures to me. She has a great way of making animals feel safe. You can tell she loves them! I highly recommend Kristen.
Kristen loves my pups as if they were her own. She follows the “pack rules” (although we’re pretty casual) and tolerates the many quirks of our three trouble makers. I know she’s attentive to them while we’re gone since Kristen sends us updates and pictures. I recommend Kristen without hesitation!
About Kristen M.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am unable to bring pets to my own home, but if an owner’s home has a fenced in back yard, I’m an active watcher. If on leash, I’ll escort around until their business is finished
Information Kristen M. would like to know about your pet
-allergies -medical administration and/or limitations -are they social -are they possessive of their food or environment -are they generally loud -what sensitivities does your pet have- Noise? Touch? Movements? No breed preference
A typical day
If there is a park near by I enjoy taking walks with a canine companion and if permissible- dog parks too. If the stay is longer and the owners permit, we may go to a trail and stop for a treat on the way back to their home.
Services
Kristen can watch in your home
Availability
I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule and am willing to come during the work day. I like to be mobile as much as possible and will them them out generously and play with their toys often.
