Aspen Animal Sitting and Care
Most of the photos are of my Mom’s two dogs Ari and Buca who live nearby. We don’t introduce animals to her dogs unless we have permission and know they are friendly since they are small. We recently said goodbye to Buca at after 15 years. Kai was the other dog features and it’s been 2 years since she’s been gone. Needless to say I have taken care of puppies to geriatric dogs. I am remote part time and in person the other half so I have a flexible schedule to be at home a lot or frequently. I grew up with animals in Stillwater, Minnesota. I had a cat that I cared for starting when I was 12, as well as a family dog. In those early years I won’t lie my Mom did most of the work, however my love for animals was seeded at that time. My Mother always had birds (love those too!!) and we had a family dog. I know how special those cute little critters can be and have all the time you need to tell me about the specifics of your pet. There is currently no other animal at my place so your pet will be given my full attention. I am a block from a nice walking path so it’s easy to go out often. I really enjoy hiking, perhaps your dog does too. Please keep in mind my rates are what they are because rover keeps at least 20%, thank you!

Ratings and reviews
Kristine was great! We needed a last-minute sitter for our two small dogs, and Kristine took excellent care of them. She kept us updated with photos and texts which helped us to not worry about them. I would definitely use Kristine again!
Kristine was great; very engaged and friendly with our dogs. Great communicator.
This is the first time using the service, so we were a little nervous. Kristine was great! She was timely, communicative, and sent lots of pictures. If everyone is like her, I would highly recommend the service.
Don’t know how you get a better person to care for your dog than Kristine! She’s amazing! SO natural with dogs!! Highly recommended, and will book again!
Kristine is great! She is loving and professional. Would recommend!
Sydney was very comfortable with Kristine. Would absolutely recommend.

Schedule
My schedule is currently flexible so I can have a lot of time at “home”. My son and I do enjoy getting out on hikes and adventuring a bit. I feel like we all sleep better with fresh air and a little exercise.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live right across the street from a park downtown Aspen. We can be as active or mellow as your animal needs. We had a 15 year old geriatric dog that I cared for till last year, and my Mom’s dog is a puppy. I understand the spectrum of what a dog may need.
A typical day
We love mornings before it gets too hot, so I try to use the time to get a good walk or hike in. Afternoons when it is hot we stay mellow or go to the water for a cool down. Socializing, when possible, is a great way to fill our senses!
