Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog foster mom and animal lover
I've done house & pet sitting through Trusted Housesitters, as well as for friends. I fostered a Belgian Mal rescue dog from Mexico for 6 months, and helped acclimate him to life in a home, and did leash and crate training with him. I've cared for cats, small dogs, large dogs, including an adorable (and ginormous) Labradoodle puppy. Last summer I volunteered to transport two rescue puppies to the US from Puerto Rico. I'm also a plant mom and I love tending to my plants and will happily spoil your leafy babies as well.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kristen is communicative and trustworthy with our pup. She handled his high energy, took him for outside time, and kept us updated. Her apartment was so clean and dog-friendly, he felt right at home with her.
Kristen has been watching our pets for years and we love her! She loves dogs and has a great way with them. She is great about sending pictures and updates, making sure they are safe and taken care of, and giving your pet all the snuggles they deserve. I HIGHLY recommend Kristen for anyone who needs their pets taken care of and wants peace of mind.
Kristen is my favorite friend to ask for help with pet sitting. She gives my dogs attention & love, follows their feeding schedule perfectly, and makes sure they go potty on their walks before taking them inside. One of my dogs likes to slip out of his harness but she rarely has an issue, and the one time he did she handled it extremely well and got him right back in it. She also usually sends me a photo with them and that makes me smile & I can see how much they love her :)

Schedule
I work from home most days, so it’s usually easy for me to do check-ins and dog walks during weekdays. I am happy to take your pet with me in my car.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a one bedroom condo, and I am happy to host animals in my home up to 50 pounds. I am also happy to stay in your home with your pet.
A typical day
I like to go on walks to the park or the beach. I like taking dogs to a pet-friendly cafe to get a pup cup. If more active dogs are ready for a hike or run, I would love to bring them along with me.
