Years of Pet-Loving Experience!

I was raised in a pet-loving family and worked in local pet stores that my parents owned and operated. Later I worked in reception triaging clients' concerns at a veterinary office. Lots of volunteer experience with dog fostering through animal rescue orgs. And of course I have always had my own dogs and cats. I was born and raised in Monterey and love helping this community of neighbors, and sharing Monterey’s amenities with guests.

Kristin and her husband were amazing and very accommodating for a last minute dog sitting job for my little guy Jamal when visiting for vacation. Jamal left very happy after getting to play all afternoon!

Kristin took care of my Bucky boy. Got an update while I was out at the aquarium with my family. He looked very happy

Kristin and her family were great, and we felt our newly adopted 2 year old lab had a good first pet daycare experience. We appreciate Kristin's communicating clearly and taking extra care introducing Scout to her dogs and making sure everyone was smiling by the end.
