Pet care experience

Furry, feathery, scaly included!

I have owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters and worked with horses. Ive taken a course in animal behavior at my local college and learned behavioral training. I am also RED CROSS Pet First Aid Certified. I am willing to provide references from past clients if you would like to learn a little about myself and my care provided. I am willing to drive 25+ miles, so feel free to request my services in the surrounding areas. I also offer low maintenance care of homes like getting the mail, watering the plants, trash etc. during overnight stays. I would love to meet your fur baby! (There will be a small fee for any additional “meet and greets” after the initial one)

We were very happy with Kristen! She took excellent care of Pepper and Gary, and it was such a relief to come home to a clean, well kept house. Our sheets were freshly laundered, and everything felt organized and welcoming. She was very pleasant, reliable, and attentive we would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!

This was Kristen's first time with us, and I am so happy to have found her. She stayed the week with our 3 kitties' and it worked out perfectly. Leaving someone in your home that you don't know can be difficult, but the trust was there immediately. We will definitely be calling on Kristen again.

As always Kristen took the best care of Kona. We felt very comfortable having her watch Kona for almost two weeks while we were away on an international trip. She kept us up to date with the cutest pictures and videos of our girl to let us know she was in great hands. Thanks so much again for everything.

Kristen recently stayed in my home and watched my 3 boys for me for 4 nights. I am a bit of an *extra* dog mom and don’t go away often because I struggle leaving them in someone else’s care, especially a stranger. I am glad I trusted my gut and went with Kristen because she gave me the peace of mind I needed with exceptional communication throughout the stay and excellent care for my fur babes. It’s a great feeling knowing I can trust and rely on someone not only to care for my home but to follow instructions and take great care of my babies. I will absolutely be using Kristen again and highly recommend her services.

I’m currently free on weekends, but have a full time job so my schedule isn’t as flexible as it used to be, however, I have clients that I still do overnights for during the week depending on your pets schedule. I can work around mine and yours and make sure I’m there as much as possible!

If there are any specific needs, particular behaviors your pet engages in or special habits or routines, I am happy to help adjust to their needs.
