Friendly lifelong dog lover.

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm a young professional from the south who grew up around dogs. Our family dog was a beloved black labrador, and taking her for walks/giving belly rubs was one of my favorite things. I haven't had the time to be fully responsible for my own dog in NYC, but love caring for other's. I've been dog-sitting and dog walking for a while now, and have a number of regular clients throughout Astoria. I'm a freelance theater artist so my schedule is varied, but I'm typically available during the day, with scattered appointments at nights and on weekends. For dog walking: I have experience with dogs of all ages including puppies. I'm good with dogs that have some aggressive tendencies and can accommodate almost any of their needs. Open to both gentle walks and more athletic ones. I typically only do walks in Astoria/LIC or the immediate surrounding area--not currently doing walks in Manhattan. For dog sitting: I look forward to a combo of cuddling with your dog, walking him/her, and doing some work from home. Because I live in a quiet, smaller building, I unfortunately can't sit for dogs prone to frequent/loud barking. I don't own toys, leashes, or dog furniture, so please bring anything you think your pup might need! While I'm home most of the day, I may pop out for appointment or trips the grocery, laundry, etc, so your pup must be okay left alone for shorter amounts of time. My home is dogproofed and spacious, with lots of light. Thank you! Look forward to meeting you and your buddy :)

Kristin took great care of our pup and was always timely and open in her communication style if there was ever an issue we needed to be aware of.

Kristin was the first official walker for my pup after his adoption. She's been incredibly reliable and wonderful, and was fully able to work with my dogs trauma behaviors. She really helped us navigate the early dog owner stage. Kristin will be great with your dog, as she was with mine!

This was my first Rover booking and Kristin was wonderful. She took the time to do a meet and greet with us as well as visit our apartment to learn more about our pup's daily schedule. Kristin is easy to communicate with and responsive, which put my mind at ease in the process. We will definitely use her again for dog walking or pet sitting.
