Tell your dog I said hi!

Pet care experience

I am fully vaccinated for COVID and will need to work with households that are vaccinated and are keeping precautions. I help care for and elder with multiple health issues and I cannot get sick. If you need a vaccinated sitter here I am! Experienced dog owner from puppy to senior. Having had many senior dogs I have a big soft spot for the older dogs. All breeds welcome, have a pibble of my own. Dogs are my people! The older testimonials are from friends that have been around while I doted over my animals, played with theirs and have cared for many of theirs when they needed backup. Feel free to ask me anything. Having worked in a daycare and boarding kennel I have seen how stressful that environment can be. Keeping your pet in it's familiar surrounds can alleviate much of the stress of your being away. My goal is to keep your pet's environment and routine normal while you are away. I will schedule an introductory visit before your travels to meet your pets and get a briefing on their routines. Birds, reptiles and pocket pets welcome! My schedule is flexible including overnight stays and quick potty breaks. Full time pet sitting is my job and I am happy to help with your needs. Have worked with rescues and know the patience that it can take to help an animal calm and feel secure. I will care for your dog as I would my own pack. Go for a walk, dance around the kitchen, sing them songs, cuddle on the couch, watch Air Bud and all that good stuff. Will care for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, small mammals and take care of your plants. Care for your pets with the additional security of not leaving your house vacant during your travels.

Extremely upset to leave a bad review since I have had great luck with Rover, but unfortunately, Kristin did not follow through with her promises and failed to take care of our dogs as we requested. I spent majority of my honeymoon scrambling to find people to help and step-in, due to her negligence. It was unfortunate how everything happened and in the middle of our sit, she got in a car accident and thankfully was okay, but I fired her after that because I was unhappy from the experience in general. We had family and friends step-in where they could and our dogs were stressed the whole time being moved around like crazy. Kristin gave us 1 amazing day and that’s about it. Punctuality and communication is not a strong suit either, the reviews here are deceiving. I’m sorry to write this review but it honestly made our honeymoon extremely stressful. P.S. we disclosed everything upfront about our dogs being sensitive and she ignored it. We had no other options for dog-sitters so our hands were tied here.

Pet care is not offered at my home. I come to your home and strive to keep the pet(s) schedule and needs stable while in my care.

Information Kristin L. would like to know about your pet

We will discuss the specifics of the booking during a meet up interview. Leaving a written schedule is a great way to ensure communication on the pets needs.

A typical day

Activities for you pet will depend on what is normal for them of course. I strive to keep their routine stable while you are away. Please note that being gone for 3-4 max is a lot to ask. I have many new clients with covid dogs that are not used to what was a normal work schedule and these are a 5-6 hour window which is fine. These clients are some of the more recent reviews I have gotten. We just need to communicate the needs and address meeting those needs.
