“Kristen was great with my pups! Both of my dogs are rescues and one in particular can be very timid. I can always tell when she'll be okay with someone and she was great with Kristen from the start. Kristen showed up at the requested times, sent plenty of photos and updates and I wasn't worried about my dogs one bit while out of town. Thank you Kristen!”
“Bali is amazing! She showed up on time and gave my pups exactly what they needed. I thank her for being there for Hank and June when I couldn't. I will absolutely ask her to check on them again.”
“Laura was a very kind and caring presence while I was out of town. She took great care of my 2 small dogs. She would drop in to let them out and feed them as I had requested. If you ever want a sitter with a tender heart and attention to detail, reach out to her.”
“Jennie is the consistent “drop-in visitor” for our dachshund puppy and she is amazing! She is loving, punctual, attentive and communicative. She has learned our girl’s personality and likes and dislikes and has made each visit special for our pup. Jennie has worked with us for a little over a month now and we could not have picked a better fit!”
“Claire is very responsive and easy to work with. My request was last minute and she still managed and requested a get to know quick appointment prior to the days of dog walking /drop visits. She followed every request and favor for the doggies. She is someone I trust giving access to my place without me being there. Thank you Claire!”
“So grateful for Kristen and how she communicates when looking after Rosie and Pete! She makes travel for work so much less stressful just knowing she is there for them. And they love her too! Thank you!”

“Alexis is amazing. She check on our cats and dog consistently. She gave them eubs, food, water and body breaks consistently and always on time. She communicated well and kept us informed. She took care of accidents. We came home to happy animals.”
“Taylor is a great fit for our fur babies Matteo and Maisy. They enjoyed their time with her and we trust her completely with our dogs and home. We would be lucky to have her watch M&M the next time we travel and need her services. Thanks again Taylor for taking such great care of M&M??? ?”
About: I’ve been with dogs my whole life. I started taking care of others dogs in the neighborhood when I was 11 and fell in love with it ever since. I’m reliable, consistent and very flexible. I have trained my dog and three other dogs basic training to advanced training. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available on weekdays if requested. I can take your pup on a walk or even spend the night with your pup so they sleep good . Saturday and Sunday only, I would be able to stay at your place to give your paw friend some company! I will make sure they are well behaved. The proper food will be served to your puppy and proper exercise for each dog! I will follow your recommendations and special requests.
“My cat is always super skiddish of people, but they both came right out to Krystin when she stopped to check on them. We were both so surprised! I was very appreciative of the pictures she sent to me as well!! Thanks again!! I’ll be using her again to watch them for me soon.”
“Mallory is the best. She cared for our senior German Shepherd for a week with compassion, no problem giving meds, and constant communication. We will book with her again in a heartbeat.”
“Super great pet care!! Each check in was described well and I got photos of my pets each time. She even met me an extra time so I could hand over my keys before leaving, and was super understanding when I forgot to send a delivery code once! I felt like my pets were in great hands!”

Kristen is an absolute gem! We feel incredibly lucky to have found her to help care for our sweet giant rescue while we're at work. She is always punctual, highly communicative, and provides detailed updates after every visit, which gives us tremendous peace of mind. Not only did we find the perfect dog, we found the perfect pet sitter. Thank you so much, Kristen. We are truly grateful for the care, attention, and love you give our boy. ❤️😊
This was my first time leaving my cat with a service and was somewhat nervous going in, but Megan a Nicole quickly put me at ease. I got a pic every day and they took great care of my baby! I will absolutely book them again and would recommend to anyone with a special cat who needs the best
Lisa & Angie agreed fit a visit in with my pups with short notice after a last minute sitter cancellation. We immediately felt comfortable and confident leaving our dogs in their care. They stayed in communication and shared a detailed report on the visit. We are incredibly grateful and appreciative of their care & would absolutely leave our two dogs in their care in the future!!!
