Highlights
Pet care experience
38+ Years of Trusted Pet Care
What sets me apart is my combination of experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. With more than 38 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I am comfortable caring for puppies and understand the extra patience, supervision, potty breaks, and consistency they require. I also have experience with senior dogs and recognize that their needs can be very different, whether that means administering medications, accommodating mobility issues, maintaining routines, or simply providing a little extra comfort and attention. While I don’t offer formal training services, I can reinforce basic commands and routines that your pet is already familiar with. My goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and comfortable while maintaining the structure and routine you’ve established. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I treat every home with respect, follow instructions carefully, communicate regularly, and provide dependable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes through drop-in visits and house-sitting. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and snuggles. For house-sitting, I stay overnight and, depending on my drop-in schedule with other clients, I am typically able to return to your home at least every four hours during the day. For drop-ins, my schedule is flexible, and I try to keep visits at consistent times so your pets have a predictable routine. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with different personalities and needs. I follow your instructions carefully and focus on keeping your pets safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also treat your home with respect. I don’t have additional people over, go through personal belongings, or leave a mess. I clean up as I go and leave your home the way I found it—or better. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing both your pets and your home are in good hands.
Ratings and reviews
Kristin has taken such great care of our boy. This week something was going on with his stomach-he puked 4 times while she was there 🤦🏻♀️ and she didn’t even bat an eye. Cleaned it up quickly, notified us, and the next day brought her carpet cleaner to make sure the stain was gone. She has gone above and beyond. We couldn’t be more grateful.
Kristin is the best! We are always so relaxed when she takes cares of our pups, sends the most cutest pictures of them, you can tell she really cares about your pets and gives them cuddles and loves in your absence. Truly the best! Thank you Kristin!
We are blessed to have found Kristen! She has been timely, respectful, and communicative throughout this entire process. We recently moved to OR from MI and our pup was struggling with the transition. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pup sitter. Thanks Kristin!
Kristin, is great our dogs are looking forward to us leaving again 😎
Thanks for staying overnight! I know the animals enjoyed the snuggles.
Kristin is the best — and our kitties love her!! She gives us so much relief when we are gone.

Schedule
Pet sitting is my full-time job, so caring for animals is truly the focus of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and house-sitting while keeping pets on a consistent routine whenever possible. I especially like to keep visits around the same times each day because I believe consistency helps pets feel comfortable and secure. For house-sitting, I stay overnight and, depending on my scheduled drop-in visits for other clients, I can return to your home at least every four hours throughout the day. Because pet care is my only job, I am able to prioritize your pets and give them the attention, companionship, exercise, and snuggles they need while you’re away.
