I feel so fortunate to have found Kristen. She is amazing with my pup and flexible/accommodating when it comes to last minute schedule changes. Thank you, Kristen! <3

Kristen is the best! Arlo, my 2mo old Aussiedoodle, gets so excited to see her and gets along so well with her sweet pup. I can definitely tell that she takes good care of him by the way he lights up at her doorstep.

I was somewhat nervous about leaving my pup for a week in the care of someone new but Kristen was fantastic. She knew this was my first time using Rover so she sent multiple pictures and checked in frequently with pupdates. It's apparent how much Kristen loves animals which I very much appreciate as a pet owner and animal lover myself. On top of that she has several years of experience in the vet world which means she'll know what to do in the event of a medical emergency. I cannot stress enough how invaluable it is knowing your pet is safe and in good hands while you're traveling. Thank you, Kristen!

Kristin did a great job caring for my two cats, one of whom can be difficult and needs daily medication. I came home to two happy cats and a nice tidy space. I would definitely book her again!
