Pet care experience

Ready to dog walk and cat cuddle!

I've owned pets my whole life from cats and dogs to ducks, birds and small animals. I volunteered at a vet clinic and was subsequently hired to administer meds, clean, feed, bathe and assist the staff. I then was in charge of all small animals at a pet store for years and have now fostered cats and dogs for the past 14 years. I assist friends and family with sitting their pets and am very dependable. I've cared for puppies up to seniors, jack Russels to German Shepherds!

We left our two dogs with Kristen for three days and everything was great. The dogs had a wonderful time at her house and it gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you Kristen!

Schedule

I work a M-F 730-330 schedule. I always keep my schedule up to date so please check there for specific dates. My boyfriend also lives with me to assist with our house guests and we have no other pets. We have a 4ft chain link fenced in the backyard for dogs to play, and love to take dogs for walks. We do share the fence line with a small dog who barks at our guests when he is outside. Cats are also welcome in our home. We require animals to be potty-trained in order to keep a clean home for all of our guests. Unfortunately, we decline to host unneutered males for marking purposes. Message with any questions, I almost always can work something out!

Safety, trust & environment

I am reliable and trustworthy, and will ensure whatever your pets need they will get while I am caring for them. Whether that is in my home or out on a walk you can relax and know your pets are in good hands. Strict treat and food schedule? No problem. Daily Starbucks icecream treat? Consider it done! I have A LOT of experience with dog aggressive/reactive dogs and you can trust I will follow your guidance when your animals are in my care. We are unable to take dogs who are aggressive towards us, or who have a human bite history. I have handled emergency vet visits while dog sitting, and I would treat yours as though they are my own. I will always put your pet's safety first.

A typical day

Walking, playing with toys, stimulating mind games and practicing commands, not to mention cuddles and treats are all in a day's work! We can walk our neighborhood or can keep to our fenced in yard, whichever is best for the animals. Let me know your pets favorite activities! I enjoy hiking trails nearby for a longer adventure day or being a couch potato with your pet. I am open for anything.
