Highlights
Pet care experience
Skilled & Caring Pet Professional!
I professionally walked and trained dogs, both big and small, and professionally cared for cats when I lived in DC and since then in MD. I love animals of all kinds and have taken care of neighborhood and family pets since I was a kid. I have 2 lovely cats of my own, both of whom I've taught fun tricks like spin, follow, etc. Animals are a gift and I genuinely enjoy them! I'm communicative and you'll get an update for each visit. If you request pictures, I'm more than happy to put your heart at ease with some delightful furr-baby pictures. With vet and owner instructions, I am comfortable administering some medicine to both cats and dogs. I offer transparency in my communication and am upfront about what support I can provide. I ask for the same transparency from my clients in their needs, pets habits, and training levels. If you would like to book me for house-sitting services, please also note any specific medical and/or timing support requests. Note, other responsibilities sometimes require me to be gone for 4 - 6 hours during housesits.

Ratings and reviews
Kristen was great. Kept me posted on the fur babies and followed their schedules well. Already have my next booking in!
Kristen was wonderful with watching my two kitties. I was able to leave on vacation without having to worry about them. Kristen was very responsive if I had any questions and sent daily updates with pictures. I will be booking again!
We have been using Kristen to care for our old man, Willie, for over a year now and we truly couldn’t ask for anyone better! She is caring, dependable, always on time and takes the absolute best care of him. Most importantly, Willie absolutely LOVES her! She has truly become part of our family and it is such a relief to have someone we completely trust caring for him and our home when we’re away. I genuinely don’t worry about him at all when he’s with Kristen—and that peace of mind is priceless. She also leaves the house in incredible shape during her stay. We are so grateful for her!
Kristen is a friendly, punctual, and attentive sitter - my dog loved her. Flexible scheduling and quick responses made booking easy. Recommended.
Kristen was a wonderful sitter for our dog and cat, I could tell immediately during our meet-and-greet that she’s a huge animal lover! Both our pets were very well cared for, and we got lots of great photo updates of their time together while we were away. Our dog is older and she was very thoughtful of letting him walk as long as he liked without overdoing it in the summer heat. I would highly recommend Kristen!
Kristen is the best! My cat adores her and she takes the best care of him
