Lifetime of experience!

Pet care experience

I have a lifetime of experience with dogs, cats, and other animals. I have not only had my own pets but have watched other people's pets since I was young. I give each animal lots of love and attention while still giving them an environment that has appropriate boundaries. I am very familiar with positive reinforcement and can reward desired behaviors while taking care of your pet(s). I would be a great sitter for you! I'm passionate and experienced in animal care. After being responsible for animals for many years, I am well prepared for the various situations that could arise while taking care of your pet. I really care about each animal's comfort and happiness. I am patient and loving with all animals. *EXOTICS WELCOME*

Kristen is always amazing with Bindi, and they’ve become great daily walk buddies :-)

Kristen is always wonderful with Bindi! Bindi has a lot of issues, and Kristen has patiently helped her through. We trust her completely, and she’s also been extremely flexible with scheduling. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to learn the routine you have with your pets so I can best help them feel a sense of consistency in their time with me. I want each animal I work with to feel comfortable and enjoy their experience! I’m always open to approaching things differently to try to help them feel successful and confident.

Information Kristen S. would like to know about your pet

Large breeds adored! All breeds and animals welcomed! I would like to know if the dog has any food allergies, necessary medications or restrictions, and I would also want to know if there's anything I should be looking out for while the parents are gone (maybe they hurt their leg recently so keep an eye out for limping.. etc.)

A typical day

I live near dog friendly lakes that I can take the dogs to if they are good off leash, or have plenty of trails for on leash walking. Always happy to find areas nearby for them to explore!

I am a part-time student working on my degree. I have a flexible schedule and I am wanting to get myself out of the house more! I think a very enjoyable way to do that would be to go meet lots of different dogs (and other animals if I’m lucky), and as a college student the supplemental income can be super useful!
