Dog Fanatic Wants to Spoil Your Pup

Pet care experience

Happy to comply with Covid-19 social distancing and masking for meet-ups! Fully vaccinated for Covid-19. I love all dogs, and they love me! I would greatly enjoy spend some quality time with your furry family member. I love hiking, running, and visiting the dog park, and would love to bring your canine companion. We are lucky to live in such an active community surrounded by hiking trails, beaches, lakes, and rivers, many of which are pet friendly and that I visit frequently. I have a Master's degree and specialist certificate in School Psychology, which demonstrates my dependability, organization, and passion for excellence. I am a certified yoga teacher, and your dog will enjoy a walk or run to the park where we can play catch and stretch together. My experience ranges from a 2-month-old Goldendoodle (bundle of energy!) to a 13-year-old greyhound (sweet old lady who needed help walking) and everything in between. Recently I even cared for some baby chickens for a week while their human was out of the country! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Kristin was great with Leo and sent timely updates. We highly recommend her as a dog sitter. She took great care of our dog during snowmageddon 2021!

Kristin was great! We have 3 needy dogs plus a cat and needed a sitter somewhat last minute. Kristin was able to come over and do a meet and greet and learn the feeding schedule last minute. She did an overnight with our pack, was very communicative, and shared several pictures of their time together. Our home was in good shape when we returned, all 4 pets were happy, and she even got the sheets started in the wash. We would use Kristin again. Highly recommend.

Kristin took great care of my old boy and got me out of another sitters cancellation at the last minute. I would not hesitate to use her again.

Information Kristin S. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know what your pet needs! Do they have a preferred toy or blanket? When do they get fed, and how often are they allowed treats? How do they respond to strangers? Where do they like to sleep?

A typical day

I live with a nice courtyard where we can play fetch. My complex also has a fenced doggy play area which is so fun! If the weather allows, we can also go to the dog park or walk the waterfront.

I live alone so your pet will be my priority outside of work. I currently work at a high school M-F 7am-3pm. However, I prioritize outdoor activities and will enjoy bringing leashed dogs with me. When we are home together, your animal will get so many cuddles and pets (and maybe get brushed if you leave a brush out!).
