“She has been nothing but amazing with my dog made me feel very comfortable of leaving my dog with a new person & 1st time using the app. Definitely recommend for someone to handle your bigger dogs.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember—everything from dogs and cats to chickens and even horses! Growing up, especially during summers and holidays, I’d often help neighbors by walking their dogs or pet sitting while they were away. Over the years, I’ve fostered an elderly dog and even bottle fed and nursed six kittens back to health, which was both challenging and incredibly rewarding. Spending time with animals is truly one of my favorite things. I love getting to know their unique personalities and building trust with them. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can give plenty of attention and care when needed. In my free time, you'll usually find me outside with my own pups, enjoying long walks and playtime. Your pets care and safety are always my top priority. When we’re out for walks, I make sure the pavement isn’t too hot for sensitive paws, And I always replenish their water bowl to keep them hydrated. Especially after a good walk and some playtime. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of love, attention, and care.

“Des was great with our Abbi. We have struggled to get Abbi to not stop and refuse to come up the driveway to the door. Des was able to take the time needed with Abbi to get her to walk up to the house without treats! Thank you Des!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was 11 years old. I continue to take care of my friends and parents animals when needed. I personally have 2 cats and 2 dogs. I have a geriatric, 16 yo, dachshund/beagle mix, so I can change dog diapers and give meds if needed. I have a full time job and work Monday-Wednesday, so Thursday through Sunday I am very flexible on the needs of my clients.

“My Bailey's home away from home!! Ok so a little background- my dog Bailey is a rescue who was physically abused by her previous owner. For this reason, she is utterly terrified of new people because she has a natural distrust for people following early life events. Kristen and her family originally spent time coming to my house to walk Bailey and spend time with her, and Bailey had been doing well with the new dog walkers! However, after learning about Bailey's concerns, Kristen thought it may improve Bailey's situation to have her spend the day at doggy daycare, and let me tell you, she and her family have done an amazing job taking care of Bailey!!! I've never seen her so happy every day when I come to pick her up (and probably even more happy to be dropped off :P). It's only been a few weeks and I can already tell Kristen and her family are making her feel at home away from home, and carefully allowing her to interact with other dogs and humans when Bailey is ready. I've been absolutely overjoyed seeing her improvement in socialization skills, and, really, just how happy and comfortable she is; makes my day! On a side note, following several meetings with a Behavioralist, I'm actively training her to help improve her anxiety and fear toward people. Kristen understands how important this is and has been ensuring Bailey is trained (in the same way I'm training her for continuity sake) while at doggy daycare, since I don't have the opportunity to train her several times throughout the day during the work week. Her obedience has improved, and better yet, she's starting to see new people with a different outlook; she's excited to make new friends! Thank you Kristen!!”
