Pet care experience
Professional Dog Trainer 🐾
I can do just about anything to keep your furry (and other!) companions happy and comfortable. I’ve spent nearly my whole life caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, and now I do it as an accredited professional dog trainer, actively working toward multiple advanced certifications. The first thing anyone should know about me is that I lead with passion. I love not only working with animals but also helping people build meaningful relationships with their dogs, because a strong bond opens the door to so many amazing possibilities. I bring over 8 years of professional experience in the dog world, from kennel technician to rescue rehabilitation, and even hands-on work with an Australian Shepherd breeder, where I gained extensive experience whelping and raising puppies. I’ve truly done it all. I consider myself a lifelong student, always seeking new knowledge and techniques to grow as a trainer. I encourage my clients to embrace the same mindset, creating an environment where growth, resources, and support flow both ways. Outside of training, I love being in nature, hiking and taking photographs. I also enjoy exploring a variety of dog sports, still a novice, but always in it for the joy of learning and bonding with my own dogs.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kristin did a great job with our zoo! All the animals were happy and well cared for and we received regular updates. We will definitely book again.
Kristen was great with all of my spoiled pups! They all have their own needs & quirks, and she took the time to learn all about each. I know they all loved having her here and were very well taken care of. We will not hesitate to book her again for our next get away.
My pups were happy to see Kristen. She gives them lots of TLC!
Kristin J. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
7/8/25 Kristin took great care of my fur baby Jeep on July 03 - July 07, she shared photos of Jeep, commented on his daily meals and activities and stayed in communication with me during my weekend away from home. I had peace of mind knowing that our Jeep was well taken care of by an experienced animal lover and professional. Jeep had fun, looked comfortable and relaxed. I would definitely recommend Kristin and will book again when we have a long weekend or vacation.
Kristin is compassionate, loving, responsible, and very knowledgeable about many breeds of dogs and their needs. She helped me with my Walter (beagle 7 years old) and he is a big toddler! She always knows what to do to make him happy.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I like to meet pets where they’re at, spending time hanging out, playing, or whatever activities they get up to on a normal basis. If you’re training with me, you can also look forward to: - 1-3 training sessions per day - Place/decompression time - Individual play time - Group play time with other dogs (when appropriate) - Training outings to parks, pet friendly stores, patios, and traveling with me! - and more!
Pets
A typical day
I like to do several play/training sessions a day. Dogs can hang out with me while I do other work if they are well behaved! I can offer food enrichment as well!
