Ratings and reviews
Kristin is a great animal lover and has always been a champion for animal rights. A perfect companion for my little Samantha, they get along great. I always feel at ease knowing Samantha is in safe care. I highly recommend Kristin.
Kristin is very accommodating and communicative sending updates and pictures of our little guy throughout the day. She is truly amazing with dogs. Her dogs, Maxie and Tiny, are also so friendly and fun for our dog to play with!
Our little girl Cleo had the best time with Kristin at her UES dog haven. She played and ran so much, she was so happy when she got home. I will definitely rebook!
Kristin is the BEST pet sitter we have ever known! She is so great with our animals and goes above and beyond! She really can communicate with animals of all kinds like Dr. Doolittle! We love her and so do our pets!

A typical day
7:00 AM – 8:30 AM | Wake-Up, Potty Breaks & Morning Walks Start the morning with fresh outdoor air. Dogs head out into the yard for potty breaks, stretch their legs, or go on an invigorating neighborhood walk to set a calm tone for the day. 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM | Breakfast & Fresh Water Refresh Prepare each pet’s specific breakfast according to their home routines and dietary needs. Wash all food bowls, refill water stations with fresh, cold water, and administer any morning medications or supplements. 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM | Litter Box & Habitat Refresh Scoop and sanitize all cat litter boxes, top off litter levels, and sweep up any tracking so the feline guest quarters remain spotless and comfortable. Midday Routine: Playtime, Enrichment & Decompression 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM | Interactive Play & Exercise For Dogs: Backyard games of fetch, agility fun, or structured tail-wagging play sessions tailored to each dog's energy level and age.
