Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Kristen! If you’re looking for a companion for your four-legged friend, look no further! I am a responsible, patient and energetic young woman, ready to assist you and your household. I love all pets, however the majority of my experience is based around caring for cats and dogs. Together, my family and I raised a beautiful English Labrador — Shelby, and 6 cats over the years. Coincidentally, my boyfriend’s family raised a Labrador — Siena. Please find pictures attached. Although I have only had one pet dog, I am comfortable, trusting and have worked with many other dogs. I am comfortable with walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I have dog and house sat, and have references available upon your request. For more information, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! Thank you for taking the time to read my bio.

Kristen is a kind, thoughtful and a contentious individual. She is organized and pays attention to detail with her responsibilities. Her love for all animals is immediately evident upon her interaction with your pet and they can sense it. Kristen will treat your pet like family!

If you are looking for a dog walker, my sister Kristen is your person. As one of the most loving and outgoing people I know, I am confident that my sister will be excellent company for your pup! She is punctual, extremely reliable and will treat your four-legged family member like absolute gold. If you let her know what your expectations are, she will be sure to deliver. Whether she is walking your pup or lending her care in your absence, you can rest assured that your dog will be in capable, warm and attentive hands.

Dear Pet Parents, Too often people write reports on how they were underwhelmed by a service provided or taken advantage of in one way or another, so it is with pleasure that I write a feel good testimonial for Kristen. She is an energetic, loving and responsible young woman who will make a wonderful mother one day. Until then, and probably beyond, animals are her babies! She grew up in a home with cats and dogs, so they were her first playmates. She has always had an innate sense of what they need & how they feel. For all pet owners who are in search of a dog-walker who will go the extra mile, choose Kristen! 🐾 Lorraine S.

Hi there, Kristen is one of the most organized, caring, hard working, energetic, loving person I know. She has a huge love for all animals and treats all pets like they are her own. She has taken care of our home and our dog on many occasions as I worked downtown and also travelled on weekends. I never worried about our dog Rylee in her care . She shines like a bright star and is one of a kind. Kristen would be a great dog walker, I have no doubt. Heather C.

I am respectful of each pet parent’s unique preferences for their animal. In light of COVID-19, I am also respectful of each owner’s requests for masking, distancing, etc.

Information Kristen S. would like to know about your pet

Does the pet require medications? What are your expectations for the service? (Walks, feeding, play time, etc.) How much training does your dog have? Does your pet have any behavioural or physical restrictions? Can I have an emergency contact number for yourself? When visiting your home, do you mind if I have a friend accompany me for safety reasons? What will you be providing me? (Poop bags, toys, food, etc.) Depending on if your pet(s) damages any of my items during their stay, will you be willing to negotiate a payment for the damages?

A typical day

I frequently walk the eldred king woodlands, the york regional forest, st. andrew’s valley golf course (open to dog walkers during the winter months), Stouffville/Ballentrae and/or Newmarket.
