Pet care experience
I grew up taking care of my Labrador Retriever and currently I love dog sitting my neighbor's Golden Retriever and German Shepherd dogs whenever they go out of town. I have always been a dog lover and although I cannot have a dog of my own at the moment, I would love to take care of dogs and offer some TLC in my free time! Dogs are so attached to their owners and often have difficulty understanding that their human will in fact return to them. I want to be there to make this tough time as enjoyable as possible for your "children.” I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. Please know that I will always do my very best to accommodate your dog(s) needs and keep them happy while you’re away - and send frequent pictures to keep your mind at ease!

We needed someone to walk our older German Shepherd while I was out of town and my partner had to be at work all day. Kristen was great! She responds quickly, communicates well, and was very friendly and trustworthy. We will definitely use her again next time we need a dog walker.
Kristen is the best! She watched my beloved Cocker Spaniel and my two kitties. My dog immediately fell in love with Kristen. I hate leaving my fur babies, but knew that they would be in good hands. Kristen texted me several times throughout the day, letting me know that my babies were fine, giving me updates, and sending adorable photos. I was most impressed that Kristen sent me a text just before bed to let me know that my babies had been tucked in for the night. My mind was at ease and it allowed me to relax while away from home. When I returned home, my kiddos were happy to see me and I could tell that they were lovingly cared for while I was away. I will definitely use Kristen again, and again, and again!
Kristen was a joy to work with - she quickly accommodated me and my 2 active cats since I had a last minute cancellation on Rover. The kitties were in good hands and her communication was stellar. Thank you Kristen!
Kristen has been watching our two dogs for years, we have always had large dogs and she is great with them. Kristen stays at our house with them for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. We will not board our dogs and having Kristen here with them allows them to maintain their routine, and they LOVE Kristen. She always keeps us updated through texts and pictures to show us how our babies are doing, something we really appreciate because it lets us relax and enjoy ourselves knowing they are being cared for so well. She has grown up with a Labrador retriever so she is very knowledgeable about caring for and understanding dogs and their needs. One bonus we do NOT expect from her, the house is usually cleaner when we return than when we left. I would highly recommend Kristen for any long or short term dog care. We have known her since she was a child and her sweet personality translates well to animal care.

Information Kristen S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know of a dog's routine before dog sitting him/her. I know that dogs can be creatures of habit just like us humans, so keeping up with any routine they are used to can make time away from their owners go much more smoothly.
