Loving Sitter
I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 20. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they were away. Chihuahua-sized Description: *Experienced dog care for 12 years *Flexible and accommodating *Highly communicative- I will communicate with you as much (or as little) as you'd like with picture and/or video updates daily *No dog too big or too small- ALL are welcome Great Dane-sized Description: *I can handle varying temperaments- shy/timid to high energy *During the day, your pet(s) will get as much play time as they prefer and as weather permits *I will walk your pet(s) at least 30-60 minutes a day depending on their energy level and weather *I am familiar with administering medication for animals and will be happy to work with pet(s) that require medication *I will follow your guidelines and notes on feeding for the amount they eat as well as the times of day to keep them on their routine as close as possible *Their water bowl will be washed and refilled daily *I can guarantee your pet(s) will be able to use the bathroom every 4-6 hours *My full time job is a middle school emotional support special education teacher- my patience and care extends to your pets as well! *I am willing to help your other pets as well (Fish to feed, etc.) *I will do a Meet & Greet prior to house sitting, drop-ins, or dog walking to meet you and your pet(s)!

Ratings and reviews
Kristen consistently provides exceptional care for our senior pup, giving us peace of mind while are away. We really appreciate her proactive communication, including regular photo updates. We highly recommend her!
Kristen watched my dog for the whole day while I was gone for a wedding. She made sure to send me some updates letting me know Blue was doing well. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.
Kristen did an amazing job and we'll definitely have her back
Kristen, Watched my 2 frenchies for a week while we were on vacation and of course as this was my first time having someone stay at my house, I was so nervous ! However , after the first night I felt at ease , Kristen sent updates throughout the week and photos of the pups. I felt very comfortable having her dog sit and would definitely use her in the future .I highly recommend her !
Kristen was the perfect sitter for our grumpy old man while we were at the shore for a week. This was the first time leaving him with anyone that wasn't family in several years so we were anxious with how he would do given his age and lack of social skills. She did a meet and greet with him months prior, asked great questions and she didn't bat an eye at his quirks. She took such great care of him and our house. We would definitely not hesitate to use her again!
This was our first time having someone watch the pups and we were very anxious about it. It seems the dogs didn’t miss us though! Kristen took great care of Ruby and Lucy and we really appreciated the daily photos and updates. It helped us relax a bit on our weekend away knowing they were well taken care of. Thanks again Kristen!!

My full-time job is a middle school emotional support special education teacher. In the summer, weekends, and holiday breaks I enjoy spending time with your pets and caring for them! I do not work in the summer, so pet sitting is my "job" from June-August.
