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!!!

Cassidy was awesome! our pups adjusted quickly to us being away and she treated them like they were her own. We are so happy that we picked the right home and people to care for our fur babies!

Kristin was punctual and so friendly. We have a bit of a special needs old girl. Kristin was so kind and patient with Rue. She sent pictures and video throughout their day together. I was able to relax and enjoy family knowing Rue was in good hands. Would not hesitate to use her services again! Thank you, Kristin!!
