About
*I AM CHARGED FOR REQUESTS*
*I have a 6am-4pm (ish) job Wednesday-Friday*
I’ve been pet sitting for several years now. I have lots of experience with all types/sizes of dogs and cats. I also have experience with birds, tortoises, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, goats, chickens, fish, and geckos. I absolutely love all animals and will treat yours with respect and lots of love. I’m looking into online work but have a lot of free time to spend with your pets. I’m up for any type of job, I really just love spending time with animals.
Please do not send a second request since I will be charged again.
Thank you, I look forward to talking to you!

Kristen took care of my two cats for 5 weeks. When she first came to meet the cats, one of the cats warmed up to her almost immediately and insisted Kristen pet him. She paid close attention to what she had to do and asked questions about details I had forgot to mention. Kristen texted me updates and pictures to let me know all was well. I am very pleased with Kristen and would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Details: Cat • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Changing litter or bedding • Short visit (30 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

Kristen was a great find! My cat, who normally doesn't come out for strangers, actually kept pawing her to keep her petting him. She even did some add-on stuff for us when we texted her from vacation.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to have reasonable rates but I do sometimes travel farther for jobs meaning I need to charge enough to cover gas. But I don’t want the pet owner to feel like they are overspending. I always say what you are comfortable and think is fair works. Some pets are more work so maybe a little higher is more reasonable and sometimes it’s just a quick potty visit nearby. But do consider I have to cover gas and wear and tear on my car with all the driving I do. Thank you!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I’ve always loved animals since they are so sweet and genuine. I’m completely an animal person. Any and all I will love them completely. It’s an extremely fun job for me and let’s me get to hang with pets daily which is so fulfilling.
What types of customers have you worked with?
All kinds! I have learned that people who have pets are the best kind of people. Most are understanding that animals can be tricky and messy sometimes but are so loving and cuddly and adorable that it makes up for it! I just ask that you communicate any worries or important details so your pet(s) is taken great care of!
