I am able to fit pet care whenever the owner requests! We will do the typical morning and evening walks (if I’m working that day) and if I’m not working on that day depending on the dog, we will go for a couple of walks in between morning and evening or a nice little hike.

Information Kristen S. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know if the dog is high energy, if they need to have any special treatments, anywhere from special food, certain treats, if they need to take any medication/have injuries. And obviously if they get along with other dogs/have separation anxiety, those kinds of things.

A typical day

For the dogs that I watch, depending on how old they are we will go for a nice long walk to a park and maybe play some fetch. Say hello to everyone and every dog passing. If it’s a nice summer day, I would take the dog up to one of the local trails and hike. It’s one of my favorite activities to do with a dog.

Pet care experience

Hello! I am Kristen and I just moved to South Lake Tahoe from Silverthorne, Colorado. I am an animal lover, and I have grown up with animals all my life. I understand how much people love their dogs, especially coming from Colorado, where everyone has at least two dogs. You will be able to take a vacation and not have to worry about your dog; Your dog is my child. I am very flexible with pet care and am almost always available. I am so excited to meet all of the furry friends and hoping that I meet them soon. Looking to be welcomed with open paws!

Kristen did an amazing job with our pups. She took them on walks and and gave them lots of snuggles and kept us updated with pictures. Would highly recommend her!

Kristen was so wonderful with our dog! She shared plenty of pictures and video and was really easy to communicate with. Would definitely book again!

Kristen was great, she responded quickly and excepted a last minute request to watch my dog. My plans were still a little up in the air and she was very flexible with potential changes. I would highly recommend her to watch your pet.
