Kind and compassionate animal lover

Pet care experience

I’m an immigration lawyer who loves animals. I grew up spending time on my grandpa’s farm around animals of all kinds and have never met one that did not immediately take to me. :) I was a cat/dog mom to a rescued senior Yorkshire terrier and tabby cat for about 5 years but sadly lost both of them recently. Since my fur babies have been such a source of love and light in my life, I’m looking to give back and love on some new fur babies until I am ready to get a new one of my own. I have particular experience with dogs needing special medical attention as my Yorkie required this level of care for many years. Please feel free to ask any questions about my experience or ability to meet your pets needs. I look forward to taking great care of your fur baby! Note: I live on a .6 acre lot in a dog friendly neighborhood with a fenced soccer field across the street where my dog loves to run and play.

Kristen was absolutely EXCELLENT! She got our dog to do things we were unable to do! Like drink water and eat food. We would gladly travel 4 hours to visit Kristen with our baby so my husband and I could have a date night. She's the only person we have ever left her with and we were completely thrilled and satisfied.

I have a fairly anxious dog, and Von has responded well to Kristen. She is always punctual and reliable. For someone I’ve never met in person, my dog trusts and likes her and that’s all the recommendation I need!

Kristen was super flexible and great with my puppy! He got home and slept like a champ! Highly recommend!

Kristen was absolutely amazing!!! I was so happy to see that my baby Lassi was playing around and meeting new puppies and dogs. Kristen definitely helped me feel at ease knowing Lassi was taken care of. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
