Work-from-home animal lover
Pet care experience
I love animals of all shapes, sizes, and types! I have over 15 years of experience taking care of other people's furry (and scaled) family members. From dogs and cats to reptiles and rodents, I've cared for a variety of lovable creatures. Growing up around dogs big and small, I've been a go-to pet sitter for family members, friends, and friends of friends. I have experience caring for pets of all personality types and temperaments, aging and special needs pets, as well as familiarity administering oral medications and injections. I work from home and have two small dogs of my own, so I'm available to care for your pup while you're away at work or traveling on vacation. Dogs staying with me can look forward to lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention! I treat each pet as if they're my own, ensuring I'm following your house rules, routines, preferences, and any special diets. My apartment is a few blocks from a local dog park and less than two miles from hiking trails in Forest Park.
Reviews
Kristin was great with my little dog Max. He made friends with her dogs and seemed to enjoy his stay. Kristin really put me at ease with leaving Max with her. I highly recommend Kristin and will be using her again.
Kristin is amazing! My pup Mowgli seemed to feel right at home in her very dog friendly house with her sweet little dogs. The convenient location for us is certainly a plus. But even with that aside, I very quickly put my trust in Kristin and sincerely think she is a wonderful sitter for my dog child. Happy to have found her!
We have had Kristin care for our pets several times when we were on vacation. She cared for seven dogs, four cats, and our two lizards at our house when we went on an extended family vacation for over a week. Kristin was great to work with and we felt at ease knowing our pets would be in good hands. She’s an animal lover at heart and our pets loved her!
I had asked Kristin to watch my dog Curbie while I went on vacation. She willingly accepted. She stayed at my house and took him on daily walks, cleaned up after him, fed him, and gave him love. She even sent me pictures of him while on vacation, which I loved. She also kept my home very neat and clean. She is very caring and loving to her own dogs and I knew she would be great with Curbie. Curbie loved being with her while I was gone and I would definately use her again. She is sweet, responsible, and trustworthy. Kristin is awesome!

Information Kristin V. would like to know about your pet
I work with each pet parent to ensure I understand your routines, preferences, and house rules. I like to know if your dog has any allergies, medications, or special accommodations. Being a dog lover of all types, I don't have any breed preferences or restrictions; however, due to space, I'm only able to board dogs under 25 pounds.

If I'm coming to your place for a drop-in visit or a walking appointment, I'll work with you to determine your normal walking route and if there are any local parks nearby.
