Every walk is better with a dog 💕
Pet care experience
Hi! I work from home and love working with an animal curled up next to me. Taking walks, dog beach trips, and just reading outside together are all activities I’d be happy to do with your dog(s)! I used to have a golden retriever and also volunteered for most of my life at a dog shelter with helping walk all the dogs. Another volunteer opportunity I was part of for a few years was a foster based rescue in Illinois suburbs where we helped bully breed dogs find foster homes and forever homes along with putting on many events for fundraising. I met a lot of people through this opportunity and became the go to dog sitter. This kicked off my rover and word of mouth dog sitting. I’ve taken care of all sizes of dogs from little pugs to Great Pyrenees and everything in between. I have two cats of my own, so I do love cats too! I look forward to meeting your furry friends!
Reviews
We loved having Kristin dog sit! She was great to communicate with, very friendly and took great care of Ronnie and our house. Will definitely hire her again and would recommend to anyone!
Kristen was so kind and caring. My very shy dog just loved her!!!!!
Kristin is great, huighly reccomended. She kept us updated with photos so we felt at ease that our pets were being well cared for. So glad we found her.
Kristin was just great! She sent pictures and updates and took Ben for a long walk. It was so nice to come home and the dogs were calm, safe and happy. I couldnt ask for anything better. It is such a plus to have someone stay st the house instead of taking them to a sitter. I loved it!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m very conscientious and will be sure to put safety at top priority- from safe handling of dogs to ensuring the house is locked up while we are out. I’ll also do a meet and greet before to make sure it’s a good match and both parties feel comfortable.
Information Kristin S. would like to know about your pet
Is the dog friendly, do they have any behaviors, how do you like those behaviors handled, is your dog triggered by anything (like people in hats, other dogs, etc), what’s your pets favorite treat and toys? Any routines for them?
A typical day
Lots of walks for dogs and playtime for any animal! I'll throw the ball and run around with your pup for hours. Lots of belly rubs, pup cups on walks (if allowed), and snuggle time of course!

Availability
I work at home, minus the occasional Tuesday, so I’m fairly flexible. I can accommodate lots of potty breaks and walks during work breaks for weekdays. Weeknights, an evening walk and playtime then reading or tv with all the pets.
