Single pet care only 🐾 I take just one client at a time so your dog gets my full attention and lots of love ❤️ Hi! I’m Kristen. I may be new to Rover, but I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs. I don’t currently have pets in my home, so your dog will be the center of my attention. I’m experienced with walking, basic training, bathing/brushing, and daily care. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs. One of my past pups needed extra patience and care in his senior years, including slower walks, frequent potty breaks, oral medication, and support with vision and hearing loss. That experience taught me how important routine, gentleness, and close attention are. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs and keep their routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I’m always glad to send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Kristen was just wonderful with our dog which required extra care due to his back issues. It was the first time leaving our dog and she helped make us feel at ease with daily updates and pictures. So grateful for her assistance when we had an unexpected delay in our return home. We highly recommend her and would not hesitate booking with her again.

Kristen is extremely attentive to your pups needs and was great about checking in and letting us know how things are going. She is very good at taking care of a senior dog and went above and beyond to make sure our old boy was happy and safe. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Kristen was beyond amazing in taking care of my Kato. She maintained great communication with me and made me feel very at ease with having him watched by her. Very grateful for how well she treated Kato and would definitely recommend her services! Thank you again Kristen!

Kristen was very responsive from my initial inquiry until the end of our booking. She kept me informed throughout the day and was very patient with our 2 dogs!

A typical day

Mornings start with a walk or potty break, breakfast, and some one-on-one attention before I start work. During the workday your dog wont be alone, as I am home. Potty breaks and lots of cuddles throughout the day until I am off, then usually I like to go for a walk.

To help me provide the best care possible, please let me know if your dog has any allergies, health conditions, or special needs (note: I am not trained in pet first aid). It’s also helpful to know how your dog does with other people and dogs, whether they have any fears or triggers, their feeding routine, leash behavior, and if they can be left alone for short periods of time. The more information you can share about your dog’s personality and routine, the better I can ensure they’re comfortable and happy in my care. For new clients requesting boarding, house sitting, or day care, I ask that we schedule an in-person meet and greet to make sure I’m a good fit for you and your pup. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to set one up. My availability is typically weekdays after 4:00pm and anytime on weekends. Woof! 🐶
