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!
