Active & athletic Wilmington walker

Pet care experience

I'm the kind of person who spends more time hanging out and playing with the dogs at the party than socializing with the people in attendance. As an active downtown resident, I enjoy the various beaches, parks and walking paths all around Wilmington and the surrounding areas. My family has raised rescue dogs my entire life, so I have a variety of experience caring for multiple dog breeds of all sizes, ages and maintenance levels. My main goal is to ensure that your dog sticks as close to his or her usual schedule as possible for the ultimate level of comfort, and gets as much love and attention as possible while you are apart. My day job in healthcare marketing allows me to have a flexible schedule to care for your pets as needed. I am also comfortable in dealing with other types of pets, including cats, rabbits, fish, hamsters and mice. I work remotely for my full-time day job, so I'm able to work from anywhere -- including your home with your pets! I also have flexible meeting schedules, so I can adjust to meet you and your pets' specific needs. I strive to keep your pets as used to their current schedule and environment as possible. Whether that's crate training, roaming a fenced-in backyard under close supervision, or frequent potty breaks on a leash, I believe it's best to keep your furry friends as safe, secure and comfortable as possible when they're in my care!

Kristyn was watching our dog for the second time and did once again a wonderful job. She goes above and beyond with her care and sends tons of updates. She truly is the best!

Kristyn provided wonderful communication, excellent daily updates and pictures. We were comfortable welcoming her into our home and to care for Ella. We know she got lots of love, walks and attention. We highly recommend Kristyn and hope to utilize her services again.

Kristyn took extra special care of Zeus after a surgery. She took him to the vet, managed his medicines, and made sure he recovered comfortably. We couldn’t imagine leaving him with anyone else and appreciate the care she gives for Zeus.

If you are looking for the best dog/cat/house sitter you’ve found her! Kristyn was so conscientious and caring and followed all instructions diligently. She was very communicative and sent tons of updates and pictures. She watched my dog and cat for a whole week and took over from a less than desirable dog sitter. What luck! Definitely a 5 star sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. When walking, I prefer to go on routes your pet is familiar with, staying away from other pets and people to be extra safe. I always asks for safety tips to keep in mind in your particular home, as well as anything that will help build and foster trust with you and your pet(s).

Information Kristyn R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, schedules, or behaviors to accommodate while they're in my care. It's important to personalize to your pet's specific needs!

A typical day

I love to keep pets engaged at their personal energy levels through regular exercise (including walks exploring the neighborhoods and bike paths), consistent playtime, and rewarding tricks & positive behaviors.
