About: Lifelong animal lover with two Labs. I treat every pet like family with love, patience, and presence. Experienced, reliable pet sitter. Animals naturally trust me. I bring calm, love, and fun to every visit dog, cats, big or small. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I already care for my two Labs every day with walks, playtime, meals, and lots of love, so adding in other pets feels like an extension of what I already love doing. I structure my day to prioritize their needs whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles. Caring for animals grounds me and gives me purpose, so I always make time for it. I care for each pet like they’re my own. I follow their routines closely; meals, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining familiarity and comfort—making sure they feel secure in their space, especially while their family is away. I give lots of attention, updates, and love to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pet and owner.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old for family and family friends. I have my own fur babies an English Bulldog named Chief and a pit bull mix named Chewy that we rescued. I have developed more knowledge of pet allergies, sensitivities, and pet anxiety since having them. Animals hold a special place in my heart and I have always loved being around them. I’m currently working full time weekdays. I am open to house-sitting on the weekends. Checking in on your fur babies during the weekdays after work. I can not board any animals due to having my own fur babies, but am more than willing to take care of them at your home.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was very young. I have even bred Huskies. My last furry friend of my many beloved pets recently passed at age 14 and I’m feeling the void. My dogs have all lived long and happy lives. I retired in 2020 from an outside sales and marketing position with a major insurance underwriter and have been working with Rover ever since. My time is now my own so I can entertain your dog! That being said, I strongly feel senior dogs over age 12 do much better in their own home environment while the owners are away. I’ll be happy to let them out 3-4 times a day but would like to be reimbursed for my gas. I have a nice 1800 sq.ft. home with a fenced in area with doggy doors and a great, safe neighborhood to walk your pet in! I keep a very clean environment for my furry guests and require they be bathed prior to drop off and on current flea treatment . 🤗 I’m retired and have plenty of time to give your pet my attention, play time and walks. I always enjoy having pets join me to watch tv. Your pet will have free roam in tiled areas of my home and a huge screened area to explore birds, squirrels and lizards. They must be crated at nighttime for sleeping.

“Kristin again went above and beyond with taking care of my dogs while I was away all day. My dog decided to jump in the pool. Kristin just went with it and allowed them to go swimming. Kristin found the towels and took the extra care in drying them off. She can handle any unexpected situation with ease. I would undoubtedly recommend her. She is fantastic!”



“Lourdes was a great drop in sitter for us! I truly appreciated her attention to detail in her communication! Even facing challenges AND holidays, she did not let me down! I definitely will continue to use her services and recommend her for your fur babies care! Happy New Year to all! 🎉”
