Information Kristen S. would like to know about your pet

I accept any and all dogs. I love animals and would be honored to take care of your pet for you when needed. Pets are children and will be treated as such!

A typical day

My favorite part of walking dogs is allowing them to sniff and explore. I can it “checking their pee-mail” and believe it is a dog’s form of social media!

Pet care experience

In my opinion, dogs are the purest form of love. I've owned a dog for the past 15 years, and I honestly couldn't imagine my life without her. I spend most of my free time in the yard reading while Ruby explores the fenced-in area. We also enjoy being lazy inside. I do not have kids, so I treat my dog like my child. As a teacher, I’m on summer break from June 2 through July 17! When school is in session, my work day ends around 4 and then I'm free after that. I normally take my dog for a walk before work (between 6:30-7:30) and in the evening anytime between 4:30-9:00. I am available throughout the week and on weekends. I love animals, and I love caring for them. I promise to treat your animal like my own.

Leaving Cooper for a full week over the Fourth of July was a big deal for me, but from the very beginning I knew he was in great hands. Kristen welcomed him into her home like he was part of the family and kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed Cooper was when I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for, loved, and made to feel at home. I never had to worry while I was away, and that is priceless. I would absolutely trust her with Cooper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him!

Kristen did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away. She sent daily updates and photos, and I always felt confident that my cat was in great hands. She was reliable, caring, and communicative throughout the entire week. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!
