Highlights
Pet care experience
Warm, Compassionate Dog Lover
Albany Park, Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Uptown, Andersonville, Lakeview, North Center, Irving Park, Roscoe Village, Avondale. Hi, I'm Kristin! I believe pets are family and as your sitter, I will make sure your loved ones will get the attention and care they deserve. I grew up with dogs and cats as an only child with parents who worked 50+ hours/week, so for several years I was a primary dog walker and caretaker in the family for multiple pets. I understand how important it is to maintain a dog's schedule and to reinforce good behavior, and I will assure your dog is healthy, happy, and engaged while you're away. Cats, of course, receive love and attention, but their personal space will also be respected. You will receive as many updates and photos as you like so you know your family is well taken care of! I look forward to meeting you and furry/fluffy/etc. family members! Please feel free to reach out with questions about my experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I do all I can to make sure your pets continue to feel safe and at ease while you're away by maintaining their schedule, giving loving affection, play time, nap time. etc. Occasionally, a pet may become overly anxious when there is a new person in their home territory, and when I recognize this in the pet, with your permission, I'll make a point to step away for a few hours so they have the home to themselves. At this time, I am NOT able to offer pet sitting services at my home due to limited space and other restrictions at my building. (And my cats probably wouldn't be too keen!)

Kristin is always fabulous. I greatly appreciate the level of care she provides for my pet. Thank you Kristin!
Kristin is my go-to sitter. I know my pup is in good hands when she’s in Kristin’s care. Thank you!
Kristin was amazing with Hulk! She’s super communicative with arranging meet ups, organized with when she’ll be stopping in, and gives us a perfect amount of updates while we’re away. We’d definitely book her again!
Kristin takes such great care of my old girl. I know Sasha is in good hands when I’m away. Thank you Kristin!

Schedule
Please reach out so we can discuss your pets' schedules and needs. Although Rover doesn't specifically offer this, in some circumstances I can provide continuous care for an hourly rate. Continuous care is where I remain at your home and do not leave the premises for several hours in a single day.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsKristin can host up to 1 pet per night
- For new clients, please request dog sits as early as possible so we can arrange meet and greets at your home in advance of the service dates. This allows your dog(s) and/or cat(s) to meet me while they feel safe in your presence - a situation in which they are comfortable - and they will know it's OK for me to be in their home. No breed preferences. Please let me know if your pet has any medications or other health considerations, I would like to know so I can be prepared. I would also love to know about any unique quirks or personality traits your dog has so I can keep them happy and at ease with me. To help assure consistency, please let me know if any training or special commands are used.
