Highlights
Pet care experience
“Pawsitively Great Walks Daily”
For over 15 years, I’ve been the go-to dog walker not just for my own pups, but for friends, family—and even neighbors who hired me after seeing me in action. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, senior dogs, sick pets, and every personality in between, always adjusting my approach to each dog’s needs. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every walk, visit, and moment is handled with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love—because I care for every dog as if they were my own.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Whether your dog stays in your home or mine, their routine comes first. I understand that dogs thrive on consistency, walks, timely meals, and affection, so I follow your instructions closely while adding plenty of patience and love. From calm companionship to active play and structured walks, I tune in to each dog’s unique needs to help them feel safe, relaxed, and right at home—because great care is about more than sitting, it’s about connection.
Ratings and reviews
Kristine become 2nd Mom to Nellie in no time. She keep to the schedule, gave good feedback, and had a good sense about our spoiled dog, winning Nellie over. I felt very comfortable with Kristine and recommend her 100%.
Kristine has such a great vibe! Our dog "Birdie" took to her in a snap..made us feel less stressed about about leaving Birdie at home with a new friend. Kristine is pleasant and her energy leaves you feeling safe and secure. I Highly recommend Kristine
Over many years, Kristine has taken care of our dogs in our home while we are out of town and also when she visits - she ALWAYS wants to walk them, which in our opinion in dog raising is the most important activity of love you can provide your dog, besides boundaries, shelter, food, etc. . She adheres to their schedules, ensures they follow their rules - in short she loves and cares for them consistent with their needs and our standards of care. Her calm demeaner resonates through to the dogs, and it is so clear how much she enjoys caring, loving, walking and playing with them. And we have had some challenging rescue dogs! So yes, my testimonial is that we trust her implicitly in all aspects!
Kristine is a super sitter in our books. All of our pets have always been taken care of so well when with her. And lots of extra attention and reaching out to us to let us know how they are doing. It is so much easier to travel when you know your loved ones are not only being treated right but having a good time too!
Kristine has helped take care of my Yorkie from when she was a puppy. She's very responsible and is like a 2nd mother to her. She's even dog-sat at our house while we were on vacation. I highly recommend her to anyone with pets!

Schedule
My business is that I am a locally high-end commissioned artist , generally working from home. I do have jobs away from the house, however, if they take more time than I would want to leave your fur baby alone, I will show unavailable on your calendar. However, morning and evening walks are still possible. Also, I am an early bird.

- Before accepting any service, it’s important for me to understand your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, walking needs, health considerations, and behavior. I also like to know what makes your pet feel most comfortable—favorite activities, triggers, and any special instructions as well as your preferences for care. This is so I can provide safe, consistent, and loving care whether I’m walking them or staying overnight in your home or mine.
