Pet care experience

Your best friends vacation spot!

Animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve had just about every animal you can imagine throughout my life—paws, hooves, claws, scales, you name it. Caring for animals isn’t simply a job for me; it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician full-time and part-time since 2002, giving me more than 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I also spent 16 years as a zookeeper, where I cared for a wide variety of species and gained extensive experience with animal behavior, handling, health, and individualized care. Your pets will be in experienced hands with me. I’m comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, ages, routines, and medical needs. I have experience administering medications, including oral and injectable medications, as well as providing grooming care such as bathing, brushing, shaving, nail trims, and anal gland expression. My husband works from home, so one of us is always home with the pups. They’ll have plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods. Most importantly, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, loved, comfortable, and receiving the same level of care and attention I would want for my own animals. Whether your pet needs a weekend of cuddles, a little extra patience, medication, grooming, or simply someone who understands animals, I’d love the opportunity to care for them🐾❤️

Kristin was amazing! Very responsive and sent a lot of pictures of his stay. I could tell he had a great time when I picked him up. Tucker is his new bestie!

Kristin has been such a great pet sitter! She sends me tons of photos of my fur babies and has even been taking care of my reptiles! It’s such a relief having someone who knows how to care for more than just cats and dogs and who always gives my pets extra love! A breath of fresh air!

Kristin has been doing an amazing job at sitting my little furry friends. I was nervous to have someone from Rover check on them because this is my first time using the app, but Kristin has gone above and beyond to not only check in but also to play with them and make them feel not so lonely when I’m away.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a seven year old Australian Shepherd named Tucker who gets along amazingly with all. The yard is fully fenced in with a privacy fence and is completely secured. Tucker loves to burn off energy running but is also a big snuggle bug who loves spending time on the couch with us. Our dog and the dogs in our care are never just left outside alone. One of us is always out there with them throwing a ball or just hanging out watching.

Depending on your dog’s activity level, we enjoy playing fetch with higher energy dogs that we watch or just lounging and loving on the older or more low energy ones.
