Ultra runner needs dog companions.

Pet care experience

Last week my ten year old dog Lucky passed away. He was a collie mix that I adopted 2 years ago, he had a genetic disorder which required, in the end, full time care. I miss him and miss having a dog with me as a friend. I love being with animals, dogs especially, they are part of my family, I love caring for dogs and take caring for animals very seriously. I will not only care for your dog but be with your dog completely, as a friend-sitter. I am active and love to run, so if your dog is a runner, that is bonus! If she/he is a cuddlier type, that works too! Im studying to be a nurse so meds and shots don't scare me. I am ready and equipped to take care of senior, special-needs, newly adopted and or non socialized dogs. I have experience with canine challenges such as these and I find it ALL rewarding. I am an runner, a swimmer, yogi, nursing student and adventure dog lover. I am active and fun, serious and detailed. I am on-time, scheduled out, and new-subaru equipped. I work super part time in a dog store, so I have all the dog things. I know more about dog swimwear, dog allergies and dog toys than I ever thought I would! Since college I have been doing 'doggie lifestyle' as my sidework ( I volunteered weekends in a shelter for 4yrs). My plan is to just keep giving back to all the dogs who have blessed my life by continuing to dog love more dogs. Woof! Do you enjoy photos of your dog? Want some semi professional shots of your pup? I always have my 35mm digital camera with me, and Id love to practice with your pup it its ok with you?! Rest assured your puppy is in good hands. Hope to meet you soon!

Kristen was great with my dog! I appreciated Kristen's flexibility in scheduling. She met me at a state park so that I could have a fun water experience while she walked and cared for my dog.

Im a trail runner, yogi, swimmer. The trails around here are plentiful. I always stay on well marked, public trails for safety reasons. River walks, Lake visits and frisbee parks are all places worthy of daily, a dog pal would make it all the more enjoyable!
