Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kristen did a wonderful job caring for my chihuahua, bulldog, and kitty while I was gone. She kept in close communication with me and sent me photos during each visit. She even washed their dirty dishes and took out the trash because it was full! My pets received lots of loving care and attention during my absence. I highly recommend Kristen and plan to have her care for my pets again!
On time; followed instructions; multiple shared pictures; and most important…, happy dog!
Kristen is truly the best! She accepted my last-minute request, came over beforehand to take detailed notes, and gave my sweet old cat so much love and cuddles over the 3 days. Buckley is 19, so leaving her is hard—and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in Kristins care. She was thoughtful, caring, and wonderful. Highly recommend! ❤️
Kristen is wonderful and so kind to our dog! So grateful to work with her.
Kristen was a great communicator and kept us updated on our dogs. She was great!
Kristen did a wonderful job! Loving on our Puppies like we would.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home as a recruiter, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate time throughout the day to caring for pets. Whether it’s a midday walk, drop-in visit, feeding, medication administration, or simply spending quality time with a pet, I can easily accommodate visits during the day, evenings, and weekends.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet as if they were my own while keeping their safety, comfort, and normal routine my top priorities. In your home, I’ll follow all feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and care instructions while giving your pet plenty of attention and affection. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular photos and updates for your peace of mind. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship, I’ll tailor each visit to their individual needs and personality. *For the security of your home and the well-being of your pets, an in-person Meet & Greet is always required for all new clients before a booking can be accepted.*
Pets
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor each visit to their age, personality, energy level, and comfort. Walks include plenty of sniffing, exploring, exercise, and positive attention. On hot Texas days, safety comes first—I may shorten walks, provide water breaks, or spend extra time indoors, especially with seniors, flat-faced breeds, and pets sensitive to heat. During drop-in visits, I provide fresh water, potty breaks, meals, medications when needed, and plenty of companionship. Depending on your pet’s preferences, we may play, practice simple commands, enjoy enrichment activities, or relax with lots of affection. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and excited to see me!
