Safety, trust & environment
I will respect all the rules you have and not take any liberties (i.e. if they cant have a small bite of sandwich, I wont secretly give them a bite) My dog was crate trained so I’m very comfortable with that. I will prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort and am pretty good at taking signals from them. The two dogs I typically dogsit for are both large dogs that are scaredy cats and can only walk certain routes (they aren’t brothers, just an incredible coincidence lol.) I’m very comfortable advocating for your pups if they need space/can’t be around people and will remove them from stressful situations. I’ll give them plenty of attention and love if that’s what they want, but if they just want someone nearby I’ll give them their space. Pretty much every dog in my life has been a diva so I understand the fine lines they have sometimes!
Information Kristen S. would like to know about your pet
Would love to be informed of anything your pets dislike or enjoy for activities. Also if there are specific treats I should have on hand when I take your pup out for walks!
A typical day
I love long walks and letting your pups sniff all the flowers along the way. I’m also always a fan of a big yard to run around like a crazy person in for your dog’s entertainment. For the lazy pups I can ensure maximum chill time after a walk that suits them better.

Professional Dog Snuggler
Pet care experience
I had a small dog growing up from the ages of 12-22. I miss having a companion for my walks so this seems like a win for all! I have dog sat for several friends and family members over the years and am comfortable with all of the things that come with it. I’m self employed with a very flexible schedule so your pups won’t be left alone for more than a couple of hours, if at all! Lots of snuggles guaranteed! (Or awkward stares from the other side of the couch exchanged if your pup is more that speed) I’ve stayed in houses with cats as well so I can do the basics with them but would definitely consider myself more experienced with dogs!
Reviews
Kristen has been an incredibly reliable and caring sitter for both my cat and dog anytime I’ve been away- whether it’s just for a day or for a few weeks. I completely trust her with my pets and always feel at ease knowing they’re in such good hands. My dog can be very high energy (especially because he absolutely adores her), and Kristen always handles him with so much patience, love, and care. She truly treats my pets like they’re her own. One thing I especially appreciate is that she consistently sends photos and updates while I’m away (without me asking) which gives me so much peace of mind and lets me know my fur babies are happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter!
