Highlights
Pet care experience
40+ Years of Hands-On Animal Care
I grew up on a farm caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, We often cared for multiple generations of animals at once, including mama pigs, boars, and their piglets. At one point, our family had more than 23 German Shepherds, giving me extensive experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Caring for animals has been a lifelong part of who I am. From feeding and grooming to exercising, training, cleaning, and monitoring animal health, I've spent decades providing dependable care to both large and small animals. Today, I continue that passion as a dog owner and trusted caregiver for friends, family, and neighbors' pets. I understand that pets are family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, medication reminders, or simply extra love while you're away, I'll provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care as if they were my own.

Ratings and reviews
Kristin watches our 6-year-old dog, Lambeau, whenever we travel, and we couldn't ask for a better pet sitter. She treats him like he's part of her own family, and it shows. In fact, it's the only time we've picked him up and he hasn't seemed anxious or eager to rush home with us! Knowing Lambeau is so loved and well cared for allows us to truly enjoy our trips without worrying about our furry family member. It's clear that he's having a great vacation of his own while we're away. As an added bonus, Kristin also helps care for our crested gecko, which we greatly appreciate. We are incredibly grateful for the peace of mind she provides and highly recommend her!

Schedule
As a substitute teacher, summer is my off-season, which means I currently have plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. I am available most days and weekends and can provide consistent attention, exercise, companionship, and loving care while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, supervised, and loving environment for every pet. I live in a pet-friendly townhome and have experience caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments. I have a friendly young dog and two cats and understand the importance of proper introductions and supervision. I follow your pet's routine closely and can accommodate crate-trained pets if needed.
