Female loves to hike with animals

Hello, I am a hard working individual that is looking to hang out with dogs/cats of all ages, sizes, and abilities! I love to explore Texas and hike at new places. I have a retail job and typically work evening hours. I would be able to pop in and look after your lovable fur babies. I live in Georgetown so I am conveniently nearby Austin and surrounding areas to drop by and make sure they are doing great. I am happy to stay at your home and a great love of mine is going to a park nearby and/or hiking on trails with the dogs. I am college educated who cannot have one of my own at this time. I have grown up with dogs all my life and I have enormous passion for them. I have previous experience caring for family and friends' animals with great care. I have a car and I am an very reliable person who will do the best job I can for your family. I have references if you would like to request them and I hope you to hear from you soon,

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have the ability to bring the animal over to my apartment. I will treat the client’s home with the upmost respect and will clean up after I leave. I will send them daily pictures/videos of the animals so they can stay in touch.

Kristin was great with my dogs. I was nervous because I’ve never left them with a stranger before but they liked her immediately. Definitely will book again.

Kristen is fantastic! She stayed with my bulldog overnight while I was out of town. She took great care of my fur baby and my home. Izzy requires eyedrops and an allergy pill, Kristen handled it great! I’ll absolutely be using her again!

Kristen did a great job watching my pups and keeping an eye on things. Was very accomodating with inclement weather prep. Would hire again :)

Let me know if they have any special needs that I need to do for them such as give medicine at a certain time. If they have a favorite kind of treat, I am happy to but it and spoil them while your gone.
