Pet care experience
I just finished my second year of veterinary school at the University of Minnesota. I've been walking dogs and pet sitting both dogs and cats for 8 years. I’ll be the perfect companion for your pet while you’re away! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and all ages, and I can provide special care, such as giving oral medications or providing insulin injections. Should an emergency arise, I am able to provide basic first aid. While you are away, I will give you a daily update on how your furry friend is doing! I’m available for drop ins nearly every morning and evening as well as over my lunch break, and I am available to house sit and stay with your pets while you are away. My favorite place to go for a walk in the neighborhood is Lake Como. If you’ve got an active dog that needs more intense exercise, they can join me for my daily jog. If you’ve got a senior dog that needs to take it easy, we can go for a gentle stroll around town. If your puppy needs someone to teach manners, let me give it a go; after all, I have successfully trained my cat to walk on a leash!
Reviews
Kristin was excellent! She took such good care of our dog (13 years old) and cat (4 years old), including dealing with our dog's intestinal distress and one emergency room visit (such is the life of an old dog, sometimes.) She acted just like we would have, plus kept us continually informed. This gave us great peace of mind as we were across an ocean away from our pets. We felt very comfortable with everything she did. And after over 2 weeks away, came home to happy pets and watered plants. We would definitely ask her to sit for our pets again.
Kristin was wonderful. Responsive, friendly, very savvy about dogs (our dog's ferocious barking--which he always indulges in upon meeting a new person--did not intimidate her in the least. She was on time, she took wonderful care of the dogs, she even taught me a thing or two about calming our younger dog down when he sees squirrels. I recommend her highly.
Kristin did a great job caring for our cat and dog while we were out of town. She was communicative and clearly enjoyed our pets. Highly recommend.
Kristin was a great sitter for our young puppy and two adult cats. Three pets can sometimes be a lot to handle but she took great care of all of them. She was communicative and flexible with our travel plans. I would definitely recommend her! It also gave me some peace of mind knowing an almost-vet was taking care of my fur-babies.
