I booked Kristen last minute and couldn’t have been happier. She was responsive, easy to communicate with and punctual. Besides all of that, she feels grounded, calm and like a loving person.. my pup went to her right away. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her and I can see it felt comfortable for him as well. She took a long walk with him and gave him a lot of love. Thank you so much Kristen!

Kristen was a fabulous sitter! Communication was impeccable, and it was so obvious that my dog felt loved. I appreciated all of the photos too. Would definitely use again and recommend!

Kristen is a Minnesotan dontcha know! Nuff said! When it comes to being responsible and loving, I can’t think of anyone more suitable than Kristen for taking care of a pet. I’ve known her for over 15 years and in that time she has been nothing short of amazing in looking after her own pet and caring for other’s pets as well. She’s an outdoor person with that Minnesota kindness and every doggo will probably not want to leave her!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly building with wonderful doormen who love to give scratches! Though we don't have any outdoor space, I'm only mere blocks from Fort Greene park - perfect for walks and off-leash morning fun, if that's your pup's style.

A typical day

I love to be active and take long walks to explore what's new in the city! Your pup can count on an active day of sightseeing (and sniffing!), playing games when we get home, and then curling up in a cozy corner to recharge for the next day!
