Pet care experience

Sandy Sniffs & Strolls

Hi, I’m Kristin! I’ve been a dog mom for years and have cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight sitting in your home. Living near the beach gives me plenty of options for walks and outdoor play, but I’m just as comfortable spending quiet time indoors with pets who prefer snuggles and companionship. I can help with feeding, medications, and basic routines to keep things consistent while you’re away. We hired a professional trainer for our own dog, so I have experience in leash training and reinforcing basic commands. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day for walks, visits, or overnight care. Most of my camera roll is pictures of my dog, so I'm well versed in dog photography! I'll keep you updated with pictures and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy until you return.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home, following their routine and any instructions you provide. I can feed them, give medications, take them for walks, and spend time playing or cuddling. I treat every pet like my own, keep your home tidy, and send updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

We have a 3 year old Havanese that is a rescue and very skittish. Kristin was immediately able to win him over. It's easy to tell that Kristen loves animals and animals love her. Also, we were gone a week and came back to a house totally clean and you would never know Kristen was here, except for the loving photos of her and our dog Ducky. Highly Recommended.

Kristin M. Was totally awesome. We had to find someone to care for our fury pets last minute due to an unexpected death in my husband’s family. She was able to stay with Sasha our dog and Bella our cat while we were gone. She took very good care of them. We would definitely use her again.

My dogs love Kristin! I have a picky doodle with anxiety, he did amazing with Kristin. My chubby beagle loved her too! She sent a lot of pictures and texts to help me feel extra secure and relaxed on my vacation! My house and pups were very well taken care of. I will definitely use Kristin again!

Kristin is the best! My dog just loves her and is always excited to see her. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is happy, safe, and getting lots of love and attention. You can tell they genuinely cares and loves dogs. .
