Artist who loves animals!

Pet care experience

As a free lance artist who has specialized in bird books, I have at times found it necessary to take on extra work. I walked a Rottweiler Husky mix for 4 years while I worked on a guide to birds, training her to walk on a leash. I have always loved animals of all kinds and dogs really seem to take to me. I've illustrated dogs and cats and birds for a number of customers, and people say I have a way of capturing their soul in my work. I am dependable and responsible, and I really do care about animals.

Kristin is wonderful to our 2 dogs. She is always flexible with our constantly changing schedule. We love the pictures and the updates on how they are doing during her visits!

Kristen was very attentive and great with Maizy. She sent regular updates and left the house exactly the way it was. We will definitely consider using her again.

Kristin has been a naturalist since she was a child, accumulating a vast amount of knowledge about animals and plants. She specializes in birds, having been a scientific illustrator for bird books and a bird keeper. She has always been a cat owner and a keen observer of cat behavior. As far as I know, she has never owned a dog, but has painted many pet portraits of dogs. I don't have a dog, but I have hired Kristen for many jobs. She has done repairs, painting, and lawn work at my house and always charges fairly and honestly and works with the precision of a scientific illustrator. She is open and explicit about discussing what she is charging for. Kristin is very careful and attentive to detail. She also has experience with jobs that require her to be on time and drive to all kinds of places, and she is very good at that. She will take good care of your dog!
