Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to take your pet on walks or runs, provide special medications, take on “field trips” or drive them to any appointments they may have scheduled. Also happy to make sure your pup has time to get their wiggles out with trips to the park, or walking trail. I also understand that some doggos prefer a slower pace and am also just fine with relaxing at home with them and keeping them company. As a house and pet sitter, I am careful to always be respectful in my clients homes and will ensure your pet feels cared for and loved just as I would want someone to care for my special fur baby. I also have a friendly black Labrador retriever who can keep your fur baby company if you would like! She is incredibly good natured and is fantastic around other dogs. She’s always happy to join me and tag along on stays (if the owners and other pups approve of course) but most times she is just fine to remain at home.

Information Kristyn J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or medications that I should account for. I’m available to help with pups of all shapes, sizes and breeds.

A typical day

I can absolutely take your pup on walks around the neighborhood, swims (if it’s safe to do so), to the park, or nature hikes. Whatever y’all’s usual routine is!

Pet care experience

Hello there! My name is Kristyn and I have lived with and taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was four years old. I currently am the proud mama of a 8 year old Labrador retriever who I have had since she was 8 weeks old. From my experiences, I have learned how to care for energetic and mischievous puppies as well as the more seasoned, senior pups. I understand the special love and care it take to make your pet feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.

I would book Kristyn again in a heartbeat! She stayed overnight with my dog Rosie. She was very thorough and asked all the info she would need, and paid attention to the instructions after she arrived. She spent a lot of time with Rosie, and the house was perfectly spick and span. I was able to enjoy my time away with no concerns. Thank you, Kristyn!

Kristyn is wonderful! Incredibly responsive and keeps us posted on our pup while we’re gone. Our dog is high energy, and she’s great at keeping him entertained and meeting him where he’s at that day, while also incorporating training, walks, fetch, etc. Highly recommend!!

Kristyn was the best person I have ever used to watch my dogs! She kept me updated, never let them and was very responsive. Last minute I had a travel plan and she was so accommodating! I am someone who would rather do anything besides leave my dogs and she made me feel so at peace! I definitely would recommend Kristyn to watch any of your animals!
