Pet care experience
🐾 Your Pet’s New Favorite Human
If your pet could swipe right on a sitter, I’m pretty sure they’d pick me. I’ve been caring for animals since I was about 12, and honestly, it feels like I’ve had a leash or treat pouch in my hand ever since. From childhood pets to neighbors’ pups to friends’ cats who “don’t like anyone” (but somehow curl up in my lap), animals have always been part of my daily life. I’m new to Rover but not to caring for others pets. Why choose me? *A lifetime of experience: Growing up with pets taught me patience, intuition, and how to read an animal’s needs long before they can tell you. *Calm, confident care: Whether your pet is shy, energetic, quirky, or a total diva, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and understood. *Reliable and communicative: You’ll get updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your furry family member is happy and cared for. *Genuine love for animals: This isn’t a side gig for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. Your pet becomes “my” pet while you’re away. I currently volunteer with American Brittany Rescue and the AKC. I have volunteered with the Wake County Animal Shelter in years past. I have also owned and volunteered with 2 certified therapy dogs. We visited hospitals, nursing homes and schools. Our current dog is not a good candidate for therapy dog work, but we hope to participate with Therapy Dogs Inc. again in the future. Our dog and cat are both up to date on vaccines and take monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. If you want someone who treats your fur baby like their own and brings warmth, fun, and dependability to every visit, I’m your gal. Let’s make your pet’s day a great one. I request that dogs staying with us be up to date on vaccines and on flea and tick preventative.

No worries at all leaving our dog with Kristin. Above an beyond in caring for her. We'll be back!
I have known Kristin for many years, and it's evident that she has a deep love for animals. My pets absolutely adore her! I am continually impressed by Kristin's knowledge of animal behavior and her meticulous attention to detail. She is reliable, communicates effectively, and I have complete trust in her when it comes to caring for my pets.

Schedule
I currently work part-time from home and my hours are somewhat flexible. If your pet is in my home, I can take breaks as needed for feeding, potty breaks, and pats. Mon-Fri from 12-4 pm is less flexible for me if I am coming to your home to do a walk or potty break, as those are my busiest work hours.

Safety, trust & environment
I will follow your provided schedule to a T, taking into account your specific routines, wishes, and needs. I understand it can be stressful for pets when their families leave, and I will do everything possible to ease that stress and make sure your pets are happy and relaxed. I am always super careful about closing doors, latching gates, and making sure everything is in order before leaving each home. Your pet's safety and well being is my number one priority. I have a very friendly dog that can accompany me on visits and walks if your dog would like companionship.
