About: Hi! I’m Kristen! I come packed full of dog walking and pet sitting experience. During my 3 years in Chicago, I walked dogs of all shapes & sizes on a regular basis during my lunch breaks, with my most loyal clients being a Boston Terrier and a Wolf-hybrid. Before then, I worked with Cincy Dog Walkers 4-5 days a week for 5 months back in 2018, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and behaviors. I’m also a huge cat-lover, as I especially miss my family cat back home. Loyalty, integrity, good communication and positivity are all values and characteristics I hold myself strictly to -all of which you can guarantee from me. Your pets will be in great hands with me as their caretaker! Feel free to ask me any questions.
I’m currently working from home on a Central Time-based schedule, therefore I have open availability in the morning, lunch time, and in the evenings. Due to my flexible schedule, I’m open to moving things around to best fit your needs!
In my home, I have a crate that can fit most dogs. I have a fenced-in yard, and live in a great neighborhood for walking!

“Ellen was awesome! She is very kind and friendly. She communicated very well before and during my fur baby's stay with her. She gave lots of updates with pictures which was great. This was our first time leaving him and she made the experience awesome. I would highly recommend her and would definitely love to use her services again!”

“Karl was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! She is super anxious and he had the patience to let her warm up. He was even able to walk her, which our other dog watchers aren’t able to! He also provided daily updates so we always knew how she was doing. We will definitely be using him again in the future.”

“Lauren was fantastic with my dog, she did what I had recommended when it came to watching my dog and went above and beyond. Sent cute adorable videos and photos of my dog and assured me he would be okay. 10/10 will be going back again soon!”
“Mickeala Was so amazing with both my cats. One being a complete curious introverted cat and the other being a clingy curious extrovert. I was worried about them with dogs as they’ve never been exposed but her experience and professionalism got them acclimated so well! She was thorough and sent tons of videos and pictures which clearly showed how comfortable they truly were. They were completely themselves as if they were at home! She was very flexible with our schedule which so happened to be all over the place which required several stay extensions and easily worked with and accommodated us. I will absolutely be using her for all of our pet care needs!”

“Mary was absolutely amazing with Layla! She communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending pictures at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Layla usually goes on a bit of a hunger strike when I leave, but she was so comfortable with Mary that she ate every single meal. That alone says everything! Layla looked genuinely happy in every photo and was clearly very well cared for. Mary also shared how much she loved spending time with Layla, and it truly sounds like they both had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using Mary’s services again in the future.”

She kept us updated with photos and their activities. We would trust her anytime we need a sitter again! Thank you Olivia!”
