Dedicated Dog Lover!
I have been a dog lover since I was four years old. Throughout my lifetime, I have lived with and cared for a variety of different breeds. I’ve also worked with dog rescues doing meet and greets, dog handling at events, and home visits since 2014. I currently have a rescue pit bull that is special needs, so I am very comfortable working with dogs that may have behavioral issues or special needs. My dog is considered to be a family member and I would be happy to care for your pet(s) while you are away in the same way that I treat mine. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets in the care of someone else. I will happily provide pictures and updates throughout the duration of each walk/visit for you. Your dog will be happy and healthy with me! I can’t wait to give them an extra break during the day while they wait for their favorite human to come home!

Ratings and reviews
Kristen was amazing with our dog Bruce!! They really got a long as were great on his walks. She was on time and was thurou about the overnight instructions to make sure she was following his schedule. She sent pictures throughout her stay and I felt very confident that she was a great fit. Definitely booking her again!
Kristen is an experienced dog caregiver. She has grown up with dogs which is where her love for pets grew. Growing up with dogs has shown her how to care for all the life stages of a beloved family member from puppy to an older adult dog. She cares for her parent’s dogs when they go on vacations and her help is much appreciated. Her parents know that their dogs are in very good hands. Kristen currently is raising her dog, Eddy, whom she and her husband adopted. Eddy is very much so their son! Eddy adores Kristen as seen by giving her kisses and plopping himself right on top of her while they watch TV. Kristen is a huge advocate of educating others on how to create a safe and loving environment for their pet. My husband and I recently added a puppy to our family and I have felt that I can ask Kristen questions concerning products that she recommends and voicing my concerns to her. She always responds with encouragement and great feedback. If you are looking for a dog caregiver that will be attentive, safe, responsible, punctual, and most importantly loving, Kristen is the perfect match for you and your family. I highly recommend her.
I have known Kristen for 7 years now through our work in animal welfare. Kristen is an above average skilled dog handler and a doting Mom to her own dog, Eddy. Kristen is responsible, patient and understanding in working with dogs, taking their overall well being into account in each situation & environment. I highly recommend Kristen to provide a high standard of loving care to every dog she encounters.
I've known Kristen for 6 years as I was on the board of a rescue that adopted her baby, Eddy, to her. We had very stringent adoption processes that included application, home check, reference check, vet reference check, background check. She passed with flying colors!! She has given him a life that most dogs can only dream of. She's responsible, reliable, loving and understands dogs needs. She also has a huge heart continuing to help homeless dogs. I very much trust her with any dog.
Kristen is a huge dog lover, and would make an excellent care taker for your pet! She has taken care of dogs in all shapes and sizes, ranging from a 10 pound Yorkie Poo to a 90 pound Labrador. She will go above and beyond to make sure that your pet is getting the best care possible.
Kristen has a strong connection to dogs. Kristen rescued a dog that was left chained to a post. She taught him to trust humans again. In turn, he gave her his unconditional love. This is just one example of responsibility and commitment that she is made of. Kristen has provided care for our two dogs on several occasions while we vacationed. We felt comfortable leaving, knowing our fur babies were in her care.
