Hi, I'm Kristin. I treat animals as equals and hold them in the highest love, care, and respect. I give all the animals I work with the same attention and devotion as if they are my own and I consider them my friends. A typical walk with me looks like me picking up your beloved friend who will be joining other dogs I am also walking. We drive to a local woods with trails where we will walk off leash for 1 hour and have some fun. We then make our way back to the car for water, a little breather time, and a treat followed by me driving everyone back home. To share more about me, I am currently in an art program to become a professional artist. I also love playing the piano, singing, hiking, baking, and spending time with family and friends. I would describe my personality as kind, compassionate, and playful. I am looking forward to connecting with you and meeting your dear friend. It would be a joy to be in their company and get to walk with them.
If I could give more than five stars, I would. Our family trusts her completely, and that trust has been earned through years of consistently exceptional care. We never hesitate to hand over the keys to our home, knowing that both our house and our beloved Wheaten Terrier are in the very best hands. What sets her apart is how deeply attuned she is to our dog’s individual needs. Our 10-year-old Wheaten has significant hip and knee issues and often struggles with limping. As anyone familiar with the breed knows, they remain perpetual puppies at heart and don’t always recognize their own physical limitations. She understands him perfectly. She knows when he’s ready for a real walk, when he needs a slower pace, and when a simple “sniff-around” adventure is exactly what will make him happiest. She genuinely cares about him as more than a job. In fact, I believe she looks forward to spending time with him as much as he looks forward to seeing her. She regularly takes him on new adventures, keeps him engaged, and treats him like a member of her own family. The greatest endorsement I can give is this: she is one of the few people I trust completely with both my home and my dog. She has become a valued extension of our household and, without question, my dog’s favorite human. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, compassionate, trustworthy, and truly exceptional with animals, you won’t find anyone better.
