Reliable, Loving, and Professional

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Kristin, and my husband's name is Andy. We absolutely LOVE all animals—they are our family. We are parents to two greyhounds (Goldie and Remi), two cats (Billy and Buttons), and a horse named Conor. We would love to welcome your pup into our home while you are away! We also enjoy caring for cats, dogs, and other types of pets for drop-in visits and walks :)

Kristin and Andy are always amazing and Houston loves his time with them and Fox! Kristin was super flexible when something came up last minute. Love having them in the city!

Kristin was flexible, kind, and great at communicating during Houston's stay. Really appreciated her sense of care and love for dogs. The home environment is calm and perfect for my dog. Absolutely using her every time I travel!!

We have worked with Kristin for months, and by far, the most reliable, smart, thorough and best photographer our 12 y/o pup has ever walked with. She is a must hire!

Hermes had another wonderful stay with Kristin! We loved getting pictures of him playing with Fox - we can tell he had a great time. Communication and drop-off / pick-up were seamless.

Safety, trust & environment

We leash walk our own dogs around our yard many times per day, as our senior greyhound Goldie needs to go out every 2-3 hours. We both work from home so there's usually always someone home to hang out with your pup!

Information Kristin D. would like to know about your pet

We love all types of dogs! We would need to know the basics such as temperament, any socialization issues (including cat-friendliness!), allergies, feeding/walking schedules, etc., as well as favorite treats, favorite activities, and your dog's sleeping arrangements. Our pups get along best with dogs who have similar temperaments—i.e. low-key, non-aggressive dogs who enjoy going for walks but also know how to nap :) Greyhounds are truly 40 mph couch potatoes! Your dog must be housebroken and up-to-date with his/her vaccinations.

A typical day

We are close to some great parks - perfect for relaxed strolls on nice days! Our senior greyhounds are very low-energy so our walks are never too long or fast paced :)

Why I love dog sitting: I have been an animal lover my entire life—I grew up always having dogs as part of the family (along with fish, frogs, lizards, guinea pigs, horses, you name it!). Over the years I have been a dog walker, animal shelter volunteer, zoo intern, and dog sitter and have been fortunate to spend time with all types of four-legged friends!
