Highlights
Pet care experience
nonstop attention!
I am a 33 year old animal lover who really enjoys training and playing with pups. I have professional experience working with, walking, grooming, and training dogs, and have monitored upwards of 30 dogs at once working at a dog hotel. Currently, I mostly work from home and have a flexible schedule to be able to meet your pets needs. I've been around animals my entire life and have personal and professional experience caring for dogs with strict medical needs, physical handicaps, and extreme behavior issues. Since I remember how hard it was when I got my first aggressive rescue pup with severe separation anxiety, I am more than willing to work with you if your dog has particular needs that must be met. Working with this dog of mine also taught me tons of training tricks and strategies and I would be happy to work with your dog if you're currently in the process of training or want to add some tricks to their list (one of my dogs could even do yoga on command!).
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kristin was amazing with our dog Bella! Clear communication, regular updates with photos, and our pup comes home happy every time. Bella clearly loved her walks with Kristin and we trust her completely. Highly recommend!
Kristin is a great sitter! Our dogs had a great time with her and we got plenty of updates during our vacation.
Kristin is absolutely amazing with our 2 labs (one 2 years old and one puppy). The puppy has car anxiety and did not have any with her - amazing! The pups came back tired after hikes and dog parks. Additionally, she was very flexible with our schedule after we had a flight delay. I would highly recommend her!
Always a star! We love Kristin and so does Memphis! Thank you!!!
Kristin was amazing! Our 8 month old puppy has never walked with anyone but me and my husband. He warmed right up to Kristin and she was so great...showing up on time, following my too detailed instructions, and sending me updates throughout her visit. Highly recommend and will definitely be having her back....my puppy insists :)
Kristin took wonderful care of our pup Milo as well as doing a few other tasks around our house. The house was left in clean and tidy and our sheets were washed- so nice! Our dog has a fair amount of quirks and Kristin was really patient, sweet and paid attention to his needs. She came over for a couple meet and greets and listened to us really well. Her calm, chill way made Milo (and us!) feel calm and relaxed about leaving him with someone new. We will DEFINITELY have Kristin back again- She was sooo great! Thank you again Kristin!!

Schedule
I work from home so I have an extremely flexible schedule. That means I can work out my schedule around the needs of your pet!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I like to leave whatever place I enter better than I left it, so I will respect the sanctity of your home! I currently live with a number of animals, some more mischievous than others, so my eye is also consistently looking for hazards that could be accidentally eaten or cause harm. I would keep that up in your home because when I am around your pet they will be my first priority the entire time— receiving all my love and care :)
A typical day
I am guaranteed to be up for whatever your pup is up for, whether that be a walk, run, swim, bike ride, hike, or lazy day! I like to think I can match the enthusiasm level of even the most excited pup. I also have a spacious vehicle so it is easy for me to transport dogs if you need pickup/dropoff or if your pup has a special place they love to go. All that being said, I've never loved anything more than my pups so I know how serious to take the job.
