Ratings and reviews
Kristen was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs and two cats. She communicated throughout her stay and shared cute photos. We returned home to a few happy critters! Would highly recommend her!
Kristen was great! Our dogs loved her and you could tell they were well taken care of and had no anxiety while we were gone! She was extremely detailed with taking notes on what our dogs needed - she also brought her own toys and had enrichment activities to keep them occupied. We live above our business and everything was safe and well-maintained! She sent pictures the entire time which also made us feel relaxed while we were gone. Would highly recommend to take care of your home and pets for a week+!
Kristen was very professional, kind, compassionate and attentive towards my fur babies and especially my dog, Baby Gurl! She gifted the doggo a sniffing mat which was so thoughtful and had her own air tag for tracking! My dog fell sick the night before I was leaving and I wasn’t sure what to do. I found some home remedies for her cough and Kristen administered the medicine and found ways to care for my dog that weren’t the usual. She was back in her feet in 24 hours and was able to take her on walks again! She sent me videos throughout the duration and I was so happy to see my fur babies while I was away. She put me at ease and went above and beyond! Thank you 🙏Kristen!! Baby Gurl is grateful too !
Kristen was wonderful. She was very attentive and our dogs were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and use again.
Kristen is a superior pet sitter. She took care of my dogs and chickens for 1.5 weeks and was on time for her visits. She made sure the dogs didn't escape from the fenced area, she played with the dogs, and even brought them a toy to play tug of war with. When we initially met, she had paperwork for me to fill out, which felt very professional, and in the meeting before we left, she took notes. When I was on my trip, I had forgotten to log into Rover from my phone, so in addition to submitting her photos and comments to Rover, she also sent me the pictures and comments to my phone directly. Lastly, our water system malfunctioned during the trip, resulting in beeping from the filter system. She took it upon herself to send me a video to inform me and asked me if there was anything I would like her to do to address the issue. This wasn't in her pet-sitting duties, but it was kind and thoughtful. I highly recommend Kristen for drop-in visits.
Kristen met with us and was prepared with a question sheet about the dogs and took notes. She was excited to meet them and communication was consistent, clear and direct for the whole week with the pups. We appreciated Kristen’s professionalism.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I’m currently living in HPP in Keaau and I am willing to travel island wide for house/pet sitting. I work remotely so I need reliable internet but I am available to be home with your pet most of the day.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
I work remotely during the day on the computer, so I enjoy taking breaks to play with dogs and get some walks and movement in my day. As a Nana, I am patient and empathetic. I use patience and positive reinforcement to connect with animals. Feel free to reach out and ask questions. I would love to arrange a meet and greet.
Pets
A typical day
I love walks and playing fetch or tug a war with pets. Car rides and beach trips can also be arranged after we become friends. Some dogs even like hide and seek. I will befriend your dog and figure out what they will like.
