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.

We had a wonderful experience with Kristin! We were in the area to see the aquarium and needed a sitter for the day. Communication was great, Maple was well cared for and happy. Highly recommend! Thank you for an amazing sit for our Maple.

Kristin was great, and friendly, and I really appreciated how she sent us an update with a picture of Beni having fun. I would recommend her to anyone considering a dog sitter!

She was amazing! I was able to book last minute, she kept in contact with me while she had my dog. He seemed to really enjoy hanging out with her and her family and I very grateful to her.

Kristin saved our weekend! On very short notice, we had to find a dog sitter, and she provided a great spot for us to leave our baby. Thank you so much!

Amazing communication. When I arrived here husband took them on a walk to make sure they pottied and were comfortable. She sent me updates on their adjustment. When I return to Monterey, Kristen will definitely be the person I contact in the future.
