Only the best for your dog or cat

Pet care experience

As a longtime pet owner, I know all about the joys that animals bring to our lives! They’re always there for us and are members of the family. That’s why I believe it’s my duty to make sure animals always have the love and attention they need to thrive! I’m a naturally caring person, and have a huge heart for taking care of all types of animals! Being a dog sitter really is just such a natural step for me, and I’ve loved it every second of the way. In terms of experience, I have a long history of taking care of dogs of all stripes. I have several years experience as a dog sitter, and took care of pups of all sizes! As a dog owner, I’ve also taken care of dogs with complex medical needs, including DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy) and cancer. Pups that need a little extra TLC are always welcome! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! When your pup is under my care, they will be treated as if they were a member of my family. That means that I’ll make sure to follow all of the instructions that you provide me with and spoil your pooch with all the love and attention they can take! You’ll also be kept up to date on everything that we do together. I love taking lots of notes on everything we do together, so you’ll be in the know on everything from meal prep to exercise times. Of course, I’ll also send tons of great pictures along as well!

Kristen is always so great with our 4 dogs and gives them wonderful care. She always reports in with awesome pictures and she goes above and beyond. We will only use Kristen when we need a pet sitter!

Kristen took great care of my cats while I was out of town for a month. She made sure they were well fed, cared for and loved. She provided great updates and made me feel confident they were in good hands. Would definitely book Kristen again.

We contacted Kristen to arrange some drop in because one of us was going to be away for a few days and we didn't want to leave our pup alone for 8 hours at a time. She was super responsive and easy to work work, and she even sent us some cute photos of Hugo on his walks. We would definitely work with Kristen again. Thank you!

Information Kristen W. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid?

A typical day

There are tons of great things to do in Austin! It’s simply one of the best places for dogs. There are so walking trails, green spaces, and parks to hit up; we’ll make sure to explore as much as we can! There is even a great dog park nearby, so we’ll be able to meet some new friends on the way if your pup so desires. There’s no limit to what we can do, so just tell me what your pup enjoys doing the most and I’ll make sure we get it done!
