Loving Care When You’re Not There

My family has had at least one dog in our house since I was born. Everybody in my family has dogs. I have a few family members that rely on me to help them with their dogs when they need it. Everyone in my family treats their pets like they are humans and I do just the same!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard. I have a 14 year old rescue that just mainly stays to herself. There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!

Kristen was great with Stinky! He loved her immediately. She was available for the dates and times and made sure my dog ate, drank water, pooped, peed and had playtime. I trusted that Stinky was in great care while I was out of town!

This is our first time using Kristen to drop in on our cats, but we have used Rover many times. She followed written instructions, gave me details pertaining to their health, and the cats seemed to love her. We kinda love her, too! Thank you, Kristen. :)

Kristen is an amazing dog mom! She has such a love for animals and a big caring heart. She has puppy sat for me many times over the years with the responsibilities of letting them in and out, making sure they have food and water and most importantly making sure they are given their meds properly! She spends time loving on them and talking to them like they are her own. I can take a vacation and know my babies are in good hands. She sends texts and pics for updates during her time with them.

Schedule

I am currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much whenever. I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kristen can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Just let me know if there’s any medications that need to be administered. I do not have a preference of dog size or breeds. As long as they are not aggressive, we’ll be good to go!
