I offer dog walking, play/company sessions, and house pet-sitting for dogs and cats. I'm happy to feed your loved furbabies, change their water, litter, etc.
Information Kristen R. would like to know about your pet
Cats: Where is the food and what is the care schedule? Where are the toys and litterbox? Any medications or behavioral considerations? Dogs: Does your dog enjoy walks or need some convincing? Where is the leash/harness/collar kept? What treats can be used to reward or motivate? Where can those be located in the house? What training is your dog familiar with? Which skills and behaviors are they working on, if any? Does your dog need to be fed, medicated, or watered and where are the items?
A typical day
I love to take dogs out for walks, play toss with their favorite toys, and find activities that make each dog happy. :) I love to play with a favored toy for cats, whether it be string, laser pointer, or another fun toy. :)

Skilled & Caring Pet Professional!
Pet care experience
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.

Kristen is the best! My cat adores her and is always excited to see her
Kristen was amazing! My cat adored her and she took the best care of him. She sent plenty of updates and photos
This was our 2nd time having Kristen care for our dog while we were out of town, and once again, she exceeded all expectations, this time while we were traveling internationally. The 1st time she watched him, we were blown away by her professionalism, warmth, tentativeness and genuine love for animals. She made such a strong impression that we felt completely at ease leaving the country, knowing he was in the best possible hands. Throughout our trip, Kristen kept us updated multiple times a day, sending detailed messages along with plenty of photos that clearly showed how happy and comfortable our pup was. She took him on frequent walks, made sure he stayed active and engaged, and paid close attention to his individual needs and routines. What really touched us was how evident their bond had become, our dog absolutely adores her. You could see it in his expressions, body language, and the sweet moments she captured in her updates. It’s such a relief and a joy to know he’s not just being “watched,” but truly cared for and loved in our absence. Kristen is an incredible caregiver and truly a blessing to us!. Knowing she’s there gives us peace of mind that’s hard to come by. We can’t recommend her highly enough.
Kristin is our dog Millie’s best buddy! She is so good with her! Consistent, reliable and fun!! We highly recommend Kristin.
