Highlights
Pet care experience
Keen to meet your furry friend! 🤝
I’ve provided care for pups in the Northside and the surrounding Cincinnati area for the past decade, and I’m excited to meet you and your pal! I’m adaptable, organized, and have a keen attention to detail which helps me individualize my care for each of my Rover clients. *Currently pausing boarding services as I’m looking to establish new client relationships for summer of 2026. If you need a routine dog walker or daily check-ins for your pet, I’d love to connect!* Growing up, the rescue my family adopted became my best friend! Since he was abandoned, it took years of dedication and persistence for him to grow comfortable with us and thrive. This experience has given me the patience to earn each animals trust on their terms and adjust my care based on their needs. I’m comfortable taking my time and communicating with you throughout the stay to ensure your loved one gets everything they need! I’m confident administering medication, following their routine, and finding new and fun ways to eat up their energy - all to be sure they’re squared away until your return ❤️ *Kindly review the rate of services quoted to you before confirming a booking and please reach out with any questions!*

Safety, trust & environment
Care of your house and home is as important to me as the care of your loved ones. I thoroughly clean during and after each house stay. I'm glad to manage care of outdoor gardens and houseplants too! I always take note of special directions to maintain your space while you’re away - just say the word! It’s my hope that each and every one of my clients feels safe and sound leaving their family in my care. We ask that dog clients are fully crate trained and owners provide the crate for the duration of their stay for those interested in boarding services. Many thanks! *A note to cat owners booking boarding: if possible, please arrange to bring your cat’s litter box and a familiar item like their bed/toys during boarding to help them acclimate to our space!*
Ratings and reviews
Thank you for taking Findlay on a great walk Kristin!
Kristin is an amazing dog sitter! She took SUCH good care of my greyhound. She sent so many pictures and kept me updated so I knew he was safe and having fun. I loved being able to go on my trip and not have to worry about my dog. I will definitely be using her again in the future!
Kristin has watched our dog Bree 3 times now and we absolutely love having her. Our dog is generally anxious and we have never had any issues whenever Kristin watches her. She sends lots of photos which helps keep us at ease while we are away and she is always easy to get in touch with when needed. We could not ask for a better sitter for Bree and will definitely rebook with Kristin any time we are away!
Kristin was fantastic. She was very flexible with my last minute needs. My dog loved her and came back tired from a nice long walk. I couldn’t have asked for more.
We have used Kristen multiple times now for extended vacations. We have an older dog who is very particular about everything he does. He does not do well alone for extended periods of time, and Kristen stays with him the entire time we're gone. Anytime she leaves she lets us know that he will be alone. She sends us pictures regularly. When we come home our house is spotless, down to the towels that she's used being in the dryer. Our dog is always calm and relaxed when we come home, which is not always been the case with other sitters. We very much appreciate her and plan to use her as often as we can whenever we travel.
This was the first time using Rover and I was very happy with the results. Kristin was very sweet and even though it was only for two hours I know the dogs were in good hands. Will definitely be doing this again.

Schedule
I accept a limited number of bookings each month to ensure quality of care! I work part-time, but can arrange full-time care in advance depending on your family's needs. My partner Curt is available to assist in potty breaks or additional walks throughout the day for in-home boarding stays - two for the price of one!
