Availability

I am currently doing pet sitting as much as possible and studying nursing part time. I really enjoy pet sitting. I have a lot of free time and do a lot of casual work on the side. I have my own vehicle and am flexible with times that I am needed. I am available for walks, check in house visits, and can stay overnight to care for your pet(s). I am very accommodating with availability and update my calendar regularly. I have experience providing medication to pets, taking them to the vet, as well as destinations via my car. I hope we can connect to satisfy all of your pets needs and to keep your mind at ease!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 20 years, I grew up having 2 dogs and currently have 1 that lives with my retired parents. I’m 31 and I enjoy going for walks, hikes, and I play soccer. I am very patient and understanding. I am reliable and easy to reach. I follow instructions and am easy going. Your pet will be safe with me and regular updates will be provided to you, upon request. I am very observant and trustworthy. I used to have a cat so I am definitely familiar with cat care as well.

Kristen was incredible from the start, very accommodating to our girl. She was quite nervous in the beginning, Kristen was understanding and caring. Very responsive when I was checking in. We are extremely pleased with how she cared for Rue. We could tell upon our return that Kristen was a good fit because she kept going over to her and nudging her and indicating on her. This tells me she did a great job.

Kristen was amazing! Our house was very tidy and clean upon return. She sent us regular photos and updates of how our dog and cat were doing. Took our dog, Nina, for a walk. And most importantly, I could see how comfortable Nina was with her. Nina is a rescue and can be nervous at first when meeting new people, but she took to Kristen right away. I will definitely avail of her services again!

Kristen took great care of our two pups. I am always nervous leaving them with someone new but Kristen provided regular updates and sent pictures, followed all our instructions and left our house in the same condition we left it. We will definitely keep Kristen in mind for future stays and would recommend her to others!

Kristen was a great caretaker to Luna - ensuring she had her meds and food on time, and was able to enjoy the outdoors. Kristen left my home neat and tidy. She kept in touch throughout her stay too. Definitely recommend her!
