Pet care experience

Walk, train, play, you name it!

Whenever I pet/house sit, I make sure everything is exactly how you left it, if not better! However, due to recent schedule changes, I'm only able to house sit if my dog can tag along with me (my coworker, if you will). If it's just a drop in, I don't have to bring her, but she's an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix, so she's very smart, energetic and social when she wants to be. When meeting new animals, she may bark a bit at first, but will soon warm up to them, so much to where I'll most likely send pics of them playing! She does like her personal space at first, but is nice to other dogs as long as they're nice to her as well. She will most likely stay right next to me the whole time, as she is also my emotional support animal. Sometimes she'll even help me heard the other pets inside/outside or keep them entertained, with squeaky toys especially! I'll make sure all pets have their food, water and any required medications, and I can also water any plants that may need it while you're away. I'll also send updates with pictures as I'm sure you'll be missing each other! I've lived with pets all my life and love meeting new ones!

Safety, trust & environment

Depending on what the pet parents usually do in their daily routines, I do my best to keep that going for the pet's circadian rhythm and mood.

I was super nervous leaving my two senior special needs pugs for the first time. Kristen put my mind at ease! My pooches had a fantastic, safe, fun time. Communication was great. Definitely recommend!

Kristen and Zoey did a great job taking care of our pups , cat and house in general. She sent lots of pictures , which eased my mind while I was away. I came home to a clean house, which was nice too.

Kristen did a great job taking care of all our many dogs and cats! Some have special medical needs, so for our house it’s a pretty long and detailed list for her to manage. Kristen handled it all in stride. Any questions we had were always answered promptly! Plus, she sent us regular updates – and of course pictures of how they were all doing. This made us feel at ease while we were away for a good part of 2 weeks!

Kristen did an amazing job taking care of Lando for a week while I was traveling for work. She watered the plants and left the place very clean. Thanks!

Kristen is a lovely person and so loving with my little girl. She sent pictures everyday and kept contact which put me at ease. This being my first time with the need to find care for both my dog and home it was so easy with Kristen. She is a blessing.

Schedule

I try to work my schedule around the pet parent's normal day to day. I personally don't like to leave pets unattended for more than 6 hours maximum. For overnight stays, my dog will also be with me and will leave with me whenever I need to leave your home.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kristen can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I prefer to have my dog meet your dog/pets before booking to make sure everyone gets along first. Safety is definitely our top priority.
