Loving and Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I am a HUGE animal lover! I have a 4 year old chihuahua mix puppy, who loves all dogs in any size, breed, and gender! And an almost 1 year old chihuahua mix who loves meeting new friends! I love spoiling all dogs with attention and love! I have been a dog walker/pet sitter for 12 years now and love every day of it (even in the cold weather, snow and the rain). I hope to get the opportunity to pet sit or dog walk for you! I work hard to make sure that each pet is exercised, fed, and given a ton of attention. I am honest and trustworthy, with references upon request. As well as make sure schedules they are on are kept. I would love to meet your dog(s) and make sure their tail is kept happily wagging the whole time!

Nice stay, I think our dog enjoys her visits and is he company. It was nice to get pics and updates throughout!

This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone other than a family member so I was nervous. Kristen was responsive and provided loads of updates. I think my dog had fun making new friends! Great experience and look forward to working with her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy lots of snuggles, I allow pets on my furniture and bed (as long as that’s what they get at home!). I follow whatever rules and schedule each dog has at their house, so when they come home, yes they will be well cared for, healthy and loved but not taken out of their routine. I love long walks, and if you’re comfortable with them coming on a car ride, I enjoy going to nearby dog parks and hikes as well.

Information Kristen R. would like to know about your pet

For me to be able to give them exceptional care, I’d appreciate knowing the following: 1. Feeding guidelines 2. House rules for the dog (are they allowed on the furniture/any rooms off limits, etc) 3. Allergies/health problems/medication administration 4. Contact information for vet and any emergency contact. 5. The dogs FAVORITE toy! 6. How well they walk on leash (do they dart after moving objects, chase smaller animals; birds, squirrels, etc) 7. If there is a history of aggression with other dogs, cats, people, children, etc.

A typical day

I enjoy nature hikes, not only for my love of nature, but because it is so fun to see the dogs go sniff everything, taking in all of the smells. I also am very athletic, I enjoy playing chase and hide and seek with the dogs, each dog has their own personality so my exercise and games are met to their needs and strengths. I also love to go to nearby dog parks!
