Attentive & available dog lover!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me to walk, feed and look after their dogs for long periods of time. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs from Frenchie’s to labs and pit bulls. I have had my own dogs and was successful in training each of them. I was I’ve always loved dogs with dog even being my first word! I treat any dog like they’re my own and can promise to love your dogs while you’re unavailable!

We love Kristen, and so do our dogs! She was so great with our two pups and was super responsive/easy to communicate with prior to and during her stay. We will definitely use her again!

Kristen has taken care of our dog for a few years. She is loving, responsible, and caring. She takes her for walks and plays with her. Our dog loves her!! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker or sitter

Kristen was so amazing while looking after our 2 dogs and our house while we were away. She's so trustworthy and responsive and her communication was excellent. She truly treats our dogs like they are her own, I can't recommend her enough!! Your pets will be so glad to have her and she will take great care of your home.

Kristen has always loved animals her whole life. She is extremely caring and patient whenever around them. She used to watch my chocolate lab any opportunity she had and treated him better than if he was her own. Kristen is trustworthy and extremely responsible. Any pet she were to walk or sit for would be in great hands and allow the owners of the pet to rest easy knowing Kristen was taking care of it.

Safety, trust & environment

As someone with a dog I am extremely mindful when letting dogs out and on walks. I pay special attention to surroundings including other dogs and people on walks. I promise to take care of every dog as if it’s my own!

Information Kristen R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there’s any special services required for your dog. I personally have experience treating and caring for a dog who had cancer and currently give my own dog allergy medicine orally each day.

A typical day

I love to be active and will keep yours active as well! We can get their energy out on walks around the neighborhood or at a local park if you’re ok with that. We can go on more secluded walks or be in the action in busier areas depending on the day and you and your dogs comfort level.

I’m a high school teacher with the summer off. During the summer I am available all day and nights including weekends. I am happy to take the dogs on long or short walks during the day as well as let them out for any bathroom breaks. During the school year I’m available after 2 pm for walks and bathroom breaks.
