Pet care experience
I’ve always lived in a home with dogs, and I absolutely love our little four legged friends! I have two dogs of my own at home and have taking part in training our pets to walk. We often enjoy going on walks and hikes on the mountain. I’m currently in nursing school and looking to make some extra money walking dogs until I graduate next may, and possibly continue even after I graduate. I love being outdoors and going on walks, especially with a lovely animal friend. I’m very active so I have the stamina to keep up with high energy dogs. We currently have have a 10 month old English springer spaniel named Floki at home so I just went through the puppy training process with him, and he is full of energy still!
Reviews
Kristen is Phenomenal! This is the second time Kristen took care of our furry kids, Packer and Sandy. You cannot find two dogs with different temperaments, yet Kristen effortlessly tended to their unique needs to keep them healthy and happy with their tails wagging. Kristen really went the extra mile to keep us totally informed on how the visits progressed, with detailed explanations of her actions. She not only posted expansive notes, with pictures, on Rover, but also sent us text updates simultaneously. She is a true Dog Whisperer. Packer is a very high-strung boy when he first meets someone new, and is extremely intimidating to outsiders. Not with Kristen. He warmed to her immediately, and in fact was so docile, he did not even want to come outside when it was raining. But, no matter; Kristen easily adapted, and spoiled him by feeding him inside. The weather was terrible during this period, and our yard was a muddy disaster, yet Kristen was undeterred and spent time outside as necessary to make sure our dogs were happy. We are thankful we can count on Kristen to take such great care of Packer and Sandy. We are pleased to give her the highest possible recommendation!
Kristen is the best dog sitter ever! I'm a 5 year-old black Lab-German Shepherd boy and I don't get along with just anyone. If Mom and Dad have to be away even for just a few days, they will usually fly our grandparents to come and puppy-sit so me and my pesky little yellow lab sister can stay home and don't have to be left with strangers in a strange place. Well, Mom and Dad decided to give Kristen a try. We were all apprehensive at first but we all got along great during our first "meet and greet." The next day, Kristen dropped in and gave us lots of playtime and made sure we were feed while our parents were away. Most importantly, she gave us lots of love and attention. Mom and Dad also got a detailed Rover report and lots of photos after each visit too, which made them very happy. Can't wait to have Kristen drop in again soon 'cause we LOVE LOVE Kristen!! P.S.

Information Kristen S. would like to know about your pet
Just tell me a little bit about your pup! What is their energy level, how well do they walk on a leash? Any important information you think I should know to make sure our walks/drop in visits are successful. I prefer to do a meet and greet before coming for a drop in visit or bringing your pup on a walk so I can get any instructions you have for me!
A typical day
I love pups that like to play! I’m down for a game of fetch or tug of war, or if your dog is like mine fetch quickly turns into keep away! I keep dogs on leashes on walks unless we are in a fenced in area. If your pup just needs some cuddles and love on a drop in visit I can certainly do that as well.
