Pet care experience

Caring pet lover

Hi everyone! My name is Kristin. I'm a former preschool teacher who loves animals. I used to have a beagle named Snoopy for 13 years. I had Snoopy since he was 6 months old, trained him, loved and adored him, and even moved across the country with him. So I gained lots of different experiences through him, especially since having a Beagle meant off route walks and lots of investigative sniffing. I wanted to pursue my love for animals and become a pet caregiver, and have been doing so for 5 years! I have experience with every age of dog from a few months old to 15+ years, as well as every breed and temperament. I know how to work with dogs that are fearful, aggressive, and everything in between. So if you let me, I would love for you to entrust me with your amazing pets!

Kristin did a fantastic job caring for Misha, Annie, and Apollo. Managing three dogs with different personalities and routines can be a handful, but Kristin handled everything seamlessly. Communication was clear and consistent throughout the booking, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing the dogs were in reliable, attentive hands. Misha, Annie, and Apollo were happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for when we returned. We would gladly book Kristin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter!

Kristin is such a great cat sitter. She is so caring to the cats, great at communicating with us, and so kind and considerate. I’m so happy we found her. Very highly recommend her, we’ve had great luck with sitters through the years but she’s our absolute favorite!!

My dog is 16 years old, blind and deaf, so I needed an in-house sitter. I’m so glad I found Kristin and I couldn’t recommend her more. From our initial meet up, I knew I could trust her. She was attentive and cared for our senior dog with detail and love. I also appreciated her professionalism and her respect for our space.

Kristin was wonderful with our 2 cats! Our shy girl adored Kristin instantly and spent lots of time with her, and Kristin spent the time to take our crazy boy outside on a leash (a crazy thing to ask for a cat)! We already have our next stay booked with Kristin, and they’ll be happy to have her again ❤️

Kristin was absolutely wonderful with our dog Nala, her regular updates go such a long way to keep you at peace while you’re away from your best friend. Would highly recommend her!!

Kristin is the best! She’s my dog’s favorite. I never worry when she’s watching my boy! She’s so respectful of my home and sends so many cute photos! I love having her watch my dog and I’d highly recommend her!

I have no restrictions on breeds or age so everyone is welcome 😊 Please let me know if there are any special needs or restrictions your dog may have ahead of time. My beagle wasn't very dog friendly so I knew to avoid areas with high volumes of other dogs. So it'd be great to know if that's something to be aware of and any other concerns you may have!
