About
Hi, I’m Kristen! I am a traveling Certified Professional Pet Sitter with over a decade of experience, caring for pets of all kinds. I offer an enriching and highly personalized level of care, catered to each individual pet. I am particularly experienced and skilled caring for pets with special behavior needs. Those who are shy/fearful, leash reactive, inter-household conflict requiring extra structure or separation, high energy, pets that are easily overstimulated, and more. I am incredibly confident in my inter-species communication skills, allowing me to build a relationship with each pet, based on trust and mutual respect. With dogs, I am knowledgeable of behavior theory and comfortable and experienced with most widely used training techniques, so I can ensure your pet receives the consistent care routine and structure they are most familiar with, leading to a less stressed pet when you leave. I’m the owner of Lefty’s Pet Care, named after one of my dogs, Lefty, based in Atlanta, GA. We are a small team of Pet Care Professionals, serving Atlanta, GA. My own pets and I have left life in the big city and are traveling in our RV, while I manage my business remotely. We are enjoying the experience of a more self sufficient and simplified lifestyle, spending most of our time experiencing new places we haven’t seen, out in nature, where we are happiest. Even though I’m lucky to have an amazing team and the opportunity to manage my pet care business remotely, I still miss the work that makes me feel most fulfilled, and that is working directly with pets to enrich their lives and their people to provide a sense of security while they are away from their beloved furry family members. I am currently offering my services in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, but willing to travel further if the dates allow! My focus is always on your pet’s health and happiness, your home’s safety and security, and my client’s well informed, peace of mind!

We’ve used a couple of times now to do house visits - with my senior dog and another occasion with multiple dogs while we were out of town. Sent detailed reports with pictures daily that gave me peace of mind. Our dog really liked her too. Will continue to use lefty’s.

Details: Dog • 1 pet • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

Kristin was awesome with my dog - he gets so excited every time she comes over! She does a great job giving us pointers to correct his bad habits, and at the end of every she sends a cute picture and feedback about how he did. Would definitely recommend!!

Details: 1 dog • 2 - 10 years old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

These guys are the best! When our dog was having a medical issue she's stayed with her until we could get home from work and take her to get checked out (luckily it wasn't serious). They check in during the walk and I love the action pics of Scout and the play by play of her interactions along the way. The trust we have in these guys isn't like any other walkers we've had in the past. If your looking for the best you've found them. Thanks guys!

Thanks so much for the review! We love Scout and all the times we get to spend with her!

Kirby and I love, love, love Leftys! Kristen sends fantastic pictures of him (I need to figure out how she gets him to pose, because he wont for me) and detailed reports after each walk. She has also taken a very exuberant teenage puppy and greatly improved his leash manners. When I come home, Kirby is tired and happy. (Tired pupper = happy pupper AND happy dog mom.) I was at home once when she came to walk him, and he literally leaped for joy three feet in the air when he heard her car. They are super responsive, especially when I have emergencies at work and cant home. We are so lucky to have her and Beam!

Thanks so much Helen! We love our adventures with Kirby!!
