Caring for Pets Like They’re My Own

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm Kristin, your trusted pet sitter. I'm a dedicated and compassionate animal lover with 18 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether it's a playful puppy, a senior cat, or a pet with special needs, I’m here to provide your furry family members with the attention, affection, and care they deserve while you’re away. My experience also includes 7 years as a veterinary technician and dog trainer. What you can expect from me: Personalized care: I tailor my services to your pet’s specific needs, routine, and preferences. Daily updates: I’ll send you photos and messages so you can relax, knowing your pet is in good hands. Exercise & enrichment: I love taking pets for walks, playing games, and offering plenty of stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priority, and I’m committed to providing them with the same love and attention I would give my own pets. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions—I look forward to meeting you and your furry companions!

Kristin provided excellent care to our sweet and timid Remi. We appreciate her pictures and comments while we were away.

Kristin did a great job with my cat and handled the somewhat complicated instructions for getting into my apartment building perfectly! I appreciated her flexibility in accommodating timing needs as well.

I would like to know if the dog has a bite history. I would also like to know how your dog is with strangers and other dogs. It would also be good to know where your pet may hide when you are away.

I will walk your dog in the neighborhood or a nearby park. If the weather is less than ideal I will work on some training and tricks with your pup. I will do my best to win over your feline friend too.
