I have a small dog of my own and I take her for walks as needed, although she has severe arthritis and needs daily medication and monitoring. I am accustomed to letting her out to go to the bathroom at least every 4-5 hours. She is my pride and joy, and I'll ensure your canine family member is treated with equal care. I also care for my mother's large dogs often and grew up with larger breeds.

Information Kristin L. would like to know about your pet

Please leave me with a list of their needs, if possible. Years ago, I created an Apple Note that contains my dog's info, including her eating habits and type of food, good parks and walking routes to visit or take in the area, any medications, vet info including emergency vet, vaccination records are always a plus too, what treats they like, their play styles, certain behaviors to watch out for, the more details the better.

A typical day

I love taking dogs for walks. If it is safe to do so, I can also take your babies to the dog park. If they have a favorite toy or like playing fetch and the weather isn't cooperating, we will hang out inside and make the best of it. I also love playing with cats.

She’s taken great care of our senior dog three times now and each time he is in great spirits in her care. Her communication helps us feel comfortable taking a trip without our favorite pooch.

Kristin was wonderful house sitting with our dog Chelsea. Chelsea is high energy and very bonded to us so we wondered how she would do with a sitter, but it worked perfectly. Kristin took her for many walks and played fetch with her all day. We think that Chelsea was disappointed when we came home 😂. We highly recommend Kristin.

Kristin stayed with our pups for three nights! She was very accommodating of their schedules and they seemed to be happy! She sent pictures daily and kept us updated on how they were doing. We would recommend Kristin to others!
