Highlights
Pet care experience
More pets, more love!💕
My first pet was something I made a case to my parents for at the age of 5, outlining the various important care needs of dogs. Since then, I’ve cared for and trained all 6 dogs we had, including my own 2 dogs now! My current dogs have been trained by both myself, and under the guide of “Tails-U-Win” training facility. I’ve cared for high energy, large breed dogs my whole life, with a focus on Goldens. Training my own puppies since about 14 weeks, until their passing at 11-13 years of age. I’ve helped friends with their dogs, and stepped in to help care for them on occasion, as well as offering help or suggestions on care. I would be thrilled to meet your pets!

Safety, trust & environment
I’m a big believer in meeting what needs each pet has. What works for one of my dogs, doesn’t work for the other, as their energy needs are drastically different. Lick mats, snuffle balls, flirt poles, frequent games of fetch, or just some quality time sitting on the floor and giving pets are all possible ways to offer pets outlets for their mental or physical needs. I’m well versed in what plants or foods are poisonous, and as I myself have a food allergy, anything I would eat would be completely self contained and monitored closely. I’m also thrilled to send photos or videos of pets when able, as it’s something I always find helpful if I have to leave my dogs in someone else’s care.
Ratings and reviews
Kristen goes above and beyond in getting my two little goobers a mid-day outing! Thanks Kristen!
Kristen has been doing dropins for my 2 dogs for almost a year now and has been wonderful every time! She leaves great notes and has escalated any potentially issues immediately. Very thoughtful and I would definitely recommend her to everyone!
Kristen is super responsible, professional, and friendly! Showed up on time every day for 5 days in a row, sent great pictures and descriptions of the walks. Highly recommended!
Great communicator! We knew at all times what was going on with our boys. That gave us so much peace of mind. Fantastic
Kristen is doing great with the drop in visits with Dolly (a young, large Aussie mix who can be a handful!) Dolly has a few quirks in her behavior and personality and Kristen is handling them wonderfully. Dolly gets so excited when I tell her Kristen is going to visit. Kristen is always on time, leaves detailed feedback with pictures. Highly recommend!!
Kristen is great with my two pups! I'd recommend her to anyone and she leaves great detailed info after each visit and takes great pictures. She is also proactive if any issues come up and let's me know right away.

Schedule
I’m an artist and able to move my work with me, as it’s primarily digital work! No messy supplies or smells to worry about, or chance of irritation. I’m able to leave and be available to care for pets with short notice. My own dogs are brought to the local park at least once every other day, and are given enrichment through the day to ensure mental and physical needs are met. If those are things you’re interested in, let me know!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsKristen can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know how often your pets need food, your feelings on treats, any allergies or medications they may need, and any physical handicaps they may have. I’m also able to lift up to about 80lbs, incase a medium/large dog may need assistance. I would also love to know about personality traits and quirks! Does your pet open doors and drawers? Are they a garbage diver? Do they dislike thunder and loud cars? The more I know, the better I can care for your four legged friends!
