Pet care experience

Need a dog walker/sitter? I'm free!

I have had cats all my life and have been the proud owner of a mini Aussie dog for almost 1.5 years. I have always had a passion for animals and actually have a degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I had dreams of being a zookeeper but unfortunately had to postpone those due to personal reasons. However, my heart is still in taking care of animals/pets, and I'd love to help you with yours!

Safety, trust & environment

I can drive to your house and walk your dog around the neighborhood. I have my own dog as well, and could even have them play at our apartment complex (lots of outdoor space). Because of my skittish cat, it would be difficult to bring your dogs inside my apartment, but can do so if necessary.

Kristen is very trustworthy, and we have such peace of mind at work knowing our dog is in good hands and gets a good walk/potty break

Kristen is a life saver. I have a new puppy and it makes me feel so much better that she is able to come and look after her when I am at work. She is reliable, gives me updates, and takes care of my pup like it is her own.

I am so grateful we found Kristen! She was reliable, professional, and cared for our dog Bella like her own. She is so sweet and thoughtful. Kristen is a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would absolutely use her services again in the future.

Kristen is reliable, trustworthy, and great with our dog Sully. He absolutely loves her! Highly recommend her to anyone looking to have someone spoil and love on your pet when you cannot!

We just finished our first week with Kristen doing regular walks for our persnickety 11 year old poodle mix. Kristen is extremely professional and communicative. She understands dogs and went extra mile to allow our dog to feel comfortable. Would 100% recommend her services!

"I can't recommend Kristen enough as a pet caregiver! She has an incredible passion for animals and treats every pet as if they were her own. With a Bachelor of Science in Animal Health and Behavior and a perfect GPA, she’s not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally responsible. Since 2018, she has lovingly cared for her cat, and in 2023, she welcomed a dog into her life—both of whom she absolutely spoils with love, treats, and thoughtful care. Kristen’s pets are her fur babies, and any pet in her care will be showered with attention and affection. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and truly devoted, Kristen is the perfect choice!"
