🐶Your Dog's New Bestie!🐶

Hi! I’m Kristin — professional treat-giver, belly-rub specialist, and lifelong animal whisperer. I’ve had pets my whole life (from dogs & cats, to fish & hedgehogs), and genuinely believe there’s no better company than a wagging tail. Dogs love me (and the feeling is VERY mutual)! From walks, playdates, socializing, or hanging out, I’m the kind of friend who sends cute updates, not just the basics. Whether you need a trusted pal to walk your pup, a reliable sitter to hold down the fort, or someone to spoil your pets like they’re royalty — I’ve got you. Bonus: I’m neat, punctual, and fully prepared to talk to give your dog new ridiculous nicknames. Let’s get those tails wagging! 🐶 If you don’t see availability that meets your needs, send me a message and see if we can coordinate!

Dog Walking • Sep 15, 2025

Kristen has been an absolute lifesaver for our 3 dogs that she manages so well. She took the time to do a thorough meet-and-greet to understand their specific needs, and her patience and calm demeanor have made a huge difference. For the first time, I feel completely at ease leaving them. Kristen’s communication is top-notch, and we couldn't be happier with the service."

Schedule

I currently have a very flexible schedule during the week so I can accommodate morning, lunch, and evening puppy dates. I'm looking forward to cuddling your pups!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every dog like they're my own! What does that mean? Lots of love and snuggles (and treats if they're allowed). I have no problem following any structure that you already have for your dog, or helping you create consistency for them.

Pets

A typical day

I love to play and be social with dogs! You can usually catch me at the dog park, or taking a fun walk in the Fells. I'm a professional fetch player, and I'm EXCELLENT at tug of war!

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Let me know if there is anything specific I need to know about your pets (don't pet behind their left ear on Tuesdays, they don't like loud noises, their trigger words for getting excited about a walk). I'm happy to work with any family to make sure your pet feels like they're at home with me.
