Flexible and Active Caregiver

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a former social worker and a former in-home daycare provider looking to start a new career. After being a dog owner for the past 12 years along with occasional pet sitting for family and friends I have finally decided to throw my hat into the professional pet care ring! I am familiar with caring for aging pets and giving oral medications. Our current dog is not good with other dogs so I am not able to provide care in our home. I am eager to provide your best buddy with lots of love and attention in your home. I am offering dog walking and home visits to fit your family's needs. I currently have a very flexible schedule and I'm excited to meet you and your pups! *please note that due to my fluctuating work schedule I am unable to accommodate repeating walks/visits at the same time every day.

Payton took to Kristen right away when they met, tail wags and all. She had a very calm nature that Payton sensed right away. As Payton has aged a full day of doggie day care is just too much. So it is such a relief knowing she isn't at home all day without a walk while we are working. Thanks to Kristen we don't have to worry anymore. I would defiantly recommend Kristen

When my dog walker suddenly retired, Kristen came to my rescue. My dog is a rescue and is extremely shy and doesn’t let many people get too close and cuddly. Within minutes of Kristen meeting my “fur baby,” they were like old buddies. Dogs know good people when they meet then and Kristen is one of the best. She is incredibly attentive and works to meet the needs/requests of each client. We are lucky to have found her!

Kristen was great with Harlee and Harlee seemed to genuinely enjoy her time with her. She is very flexible and helps out any way she can. I would most definitely use her services again
