Kristin is hands down the best dog walker I ve found on this app! She s caring, attentive, and will love your pup like her own. She s always flexible to my schedule. She s never minded if there is last minute changes or the surprise second dog on the walk. I think my pup prefers Kristin s walks to when I take her out now! I never have to worry or feel guilty about my long work hours when Kristin picks up my walks!!!
