Pet care experience

Working from home animal lover

I’m your go-to when pet-care of all kinds is needed. I’m an animal lover at heart. I can accommodate special needs or medical needs with proper instruction, as well as dogs that require high levels of physical activity. I have cared for birds, fish, tortoises, cats, and dogs. I also have my own French Bulldog that is a mix of chill and playful and loves the company of other animals - cats and dogs alike. I work from home, so your dog can have as much attention as they need. Between my work schedule and the freedom and flexibility I have in my life right now, I am able to accommodate longer bookings, if and when needed.

Kristin is so responsive, competent, professional, and personable! She did a great job managing my two dogs and housesitting for a week. She left the house cleaner than I left it, and she sent great photos, videos, and updates. Vacation was a blast knowing I could trust her with my dogs' care!

Kristin was excellent and treated our pups and home like her own. She took them on beautiful hikes, gave all the love, and sent great photos along the way. Her dog, Mr. Tater Tot, got along great with our dogs and loved being a part of the pack. Would definitely book with Kristin (and Tater) again!

Kristin was absolutely fantastic. I got a daily report and pictures. I felt so comfortable with my three fur creatures in her care. Can not recommend highly enough!

We feel so lucky to have found Kristin! She takes such thoughtful, attentive care of Pila and keeps us updated every step of the way. Pila is always so happy with her, and we’re especially grateful for the extra care she gave during this stay.

Schedule

I am child-free and work from home, so your pet will lots of attention and affection. I work full time and am most active with my own dog in the morning before I start work around 9:30am and then, again, when I get done with work around 6pm. While working from home allows for plenty of excuses to get outside and opportunities for play breaks. Weekends are a balance of snuggling with my dog while bingeing on a good show and enjoying all the dog friendly outdoor spaces the area has to offer us. We can adjust our activity levels, as needed, in order to settle into a routine thats right for your pets.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are always on leash with me on walks unless we’re at an off leash dog park, which would require your permission. I am a pets-are-family kind of gal, so your pets will be treated as such while they’re in my care. I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex with a fenced in courtyard that provides great opportunities for sniffs, playtime, and outdoor lounging. I know it’s hard to be away from your fur baby, and I’m happy to send plenty of photo pupdates if you’d like.

Pets

A typical day

I work from home full time M-F during the day, and potty breaks are given throughout the day when I have breaks at work. Before or after work, I’m usually going for a dog friendly hike a couple of days a week, or at minimum, we go for a daily walk or to the dog park if we can’t squeeze a hike in. Weekends also include fun outside activities with pup cups from Dutch Bro’s on the way home. While we are routinely active, we can slow things down for dogs that need it. My frenchie and I love snuggling on the couch while bingeing a good show or reading a good book just as much as we enjoy outdoor adventures. I’m happy to default to your pets’ energy needs when they’re in our care.

I have my own dog and there are other dogs in my apartment complex, so your dog needs to be ok with other dogs. I’d love to know if your dogs are comfortable going in car rides so I know if outings or car rides to trail heads are an option.
