Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Local Pet Care Specialist! 🐶
My motto is: "I wouldn't trust my pet with just anyone, why should YOU?! I TREAT EVERY PET AS IF IT WERE MY OWN!" I'm a pet care specialist with 40+ years experience. One of my first jobs was as a Veterinary Assistant. Since that time I've worked at various animal hospitals, kennels, grooming salons & dog walking/pet sitting companies. Over the past the 40 years, I've worked in nearly every aspect of the pet care field. In 1994 I started my own pet care service in Chicago, offering petsitting/feedings/dog walking for clients who were stuck at work or going on vacation. After relocating in 2008, I began offering my services in the northwestern suburban area & added in-home basic grooming such as nail trims, ear cleaning, etc.

Ratings and reviews
Kristin is awesome!
Kristin is the best! She was so affection & friendly when she met my dog and he instantly fell in love with her despite the anxiety of just moving from Chicago to the suburbs. I was looking someone to walk him 2x/week as needed for a few months & Kristin was definitely an A+ choice! Punctual, reliable & she always left a note for me! My dog certainly loved going on walks with her. She even took some pictures of him playing outside for me which I really appreciated! I could tell he got his daily amount of exercise with Kristin & used up quite a bit of energy! I know Kristin is very experienced in the animal care industry from Vet Assistant to Pet Stylist & I received nothing other than glowing recommendations for her when I checked her references. I too would highly recommend her! If I ever need ANY pet care services again, Kristin is my absolute first choice!
I hired Kristin to care for my two shih-tsu dogs while my wife and I went on vacation in 2010. She fed and walked them twice a day and provided several check-in visits. I was actually able to have a relaxing vacation knowing my dogs weren't stuck in a kennel and were being taken care of by someone they know and love- AND by someone who I could trust!
