The Go-To Dog Auntie, WFH

I've been raised with dogs most of my life and have been the go-to dog sitter for all my friends and neighbors. As a psychologist in training, I’m passionate about the importance of using positive reinforcement and loving kindness when working with all living beings, especially fur babies.

Kristen has such an enthusiastic and loving spirit which she shined on our dog Buddy! She is a true dog-lover and excellent communicator.

Kristen was great! She jumped in to help me last minute when I had to go in to work. She was easy to communicate with & I'd be very happy to have her watch my pup again!

Kristen was so friendly and loving with my dog Rafa. You can tell she's a dog person and he took to her right away. We'd be happy to have her back anytime!

I'm currently a PhD student, so I have a lot of flexibility, especially during the academic breaks. I will only take on jobs that I know I can provide my full care, focus, and time.

Just let me know what I need to do to help make you and your dog feel as comfortable as possible! I know how much anxiety a dog parent can feel leaving their fur babies with someone!
