Kristen was absolutely wonderful. We had never left our dogs with a sitter before, but Kristen took care of our girls as well as we could. Peace of mind cannot be bought at any price but Kristen’s love of animals enabled us to enjoy our vacation without worry. One million stars!

Kristen is just a step above. Because of her immense knowledge, and her way with animals, we trust her explicitly with our pups. During our pups last visit with Kristen, one of our pups needed to take some medication for upset belly and Kristen took such great care of him that we came back and he was his usual happy, healthy self. Thank you again Kristen.

We had a wonderful experience with Kristen and would happily book with her again. She took great care of our dog and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We could tell right away how much she genuinely loves animals, and our dog was welcomed like family. She was incredibly kind and welcoming from the start. We truly appreciated her care and communication, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!
