Safety, trust & environment

I am very aware of my surroundings and doors/gates to ensure dogs to not escape or run off. I have a high energy 2 year old boxer that I have crate trained and am used to taking all necessary precautions to make sure pets are safe and secure.

Information Kristen R. would like to know about your pet

I am very comfortable administering medications, eye drops, ear drops, etc and am used to careful handling of senior dogs. I am also used to active dogs that need to get a lot of energy out! Thanks for checking out my profile!

A typical day

Let me know your preferences for care and what your dog(s) need. I am versatile with playful energy as well as dogs that are timid and shy at first. I like to practice calm confidence so your dog is comfortable with me as I read their body language and cues. I never want to intimidate or force dogs to behave a certain way when they’re not ready. It’s all about trust.

Pet care experience

Hi! I have a 2 year old 60-lb Boxer dog and I also had 3 Shih Tzus for 16 years so I am used to large and small dogs, energetic pups and senior dogs. I’ve taken classes with trainers that trained with Cesar Milan focused on dog psychology and calm confidence. I can care for senior dogs and administer eye/ear drops, medication, and gentle handling. I can also care for playful or large dogs and help get their energy out. I am available for short or long walks, short or long overnight stays, house sitting, bathing, and drop ins.

I highly recommend Kristen as a dog walker and pet caregiver. She is responsible, dependable, and genuinely cares about the well-being of every dog in her care. Her experience with dogs gives her a strong understanding of their needs, behaviors, and personalities, allowing her to provide attentive and compassionate care. Kristen has taken care of my Boxer on numerous occasions, allowing me to travel out of town with complete peace of mind, knowing she was in the best possible hands. She treats every dog as if it were her own, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, exercised, and well-loved. Her reliability, patience, and attention to detail make her someone I trust completely. I would confidently recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and capable dog walker or pet sitter. Any dog would be fortunate to have her looking after them.
