Pet care experience

Hello everyone, My name is Kristen, I'm an outdoorsy, fitness fanatic with a love and passion for animals! I grew up with lots of dogs, my experience in pet care is from years of caring for my own animals, friends and family's too, as well as volunteering at animal shelters over the years. My husband and I recently decided to start a family, so I decided to focus on animal care full time instead of my busy office job. On the side of watching pups, I am a personal trainer, I would absolutely love taking your dog/dogs on walks, runs, hikes. We have a beautiful house on almost 2 acres of land. I live near multiple parks (and dog parks) and scenic walking/hiking trails. I love animals and I can't wait to care for yours!

Kristen is amazing. She watched our dog for 4 days. During that time, she took excellent care of her. Kristen provided frequent updates with pictures which was great. I will not hesitate to have her sit our dog anytime.

Luna had a great stay with Kristen and her family! She loved going for runs and the outside time, and we really appreciate you making her part of your family for the week!

Kristen was the best Rover we had. She cared for our female mini. Daschund and sent us pictures & videos of the great time she had playing with her daughter while we we away in Florida. No doubts in having our dog in Kristen’s care. Thanks , Myriam Morales

Wonderful and loving! Our dog had never been boarded before and we were concerned about the attention paid to her while we were gone. Kristen and her family were the perfect choice!, walks, treats, and plenty of attention for our spoiled one. Kristen's own dog Milo was also a plus. He is so gentle and chilled out he didn't even seem to care when sassy checked out his bed. Kristen and her husband were very attentive to Sassy's needs. The text updates complete with pics were a bonus. We would definitely have Sassy stay with them again! I cannot say enough how grateful we are to them for helping to make our vacation worry free. Thank you
