Kristin Cares for Your Pets

We heart Kristin! She takes fantastic care of our two dogs as well as our house when we are out of town. Feel like she’s one of the family. She’s very knowledgeable about animals and incredibly trustworthy. And we love the «Kristin report» on our dogs antics while we are gone… best part of coming home!

Kristin cared for my cat when I went out of town for the weekend. She texted me updates while I was gone, and left a very detailed, hand-​written explanation of how she cared for my furry child while I was away. I love those reports! I came back to a happy cat, and a clean home. She did a fantastic job and I would not hesitate to recommend her to others! When you and your pets meet Kristin, you can just tell she is a natural when it comes to working with animals. My cat warmed up to her right away which gave me a great feeling.

Kristin sat last weekend for my two pups. They were stressed from a move all the way across the country, and I was very worried about their happiness while I was on my trip.
Kristin kept int touch with me while i was gone, and followed my instructions perfectly.
I’m traveling again this summer and will not hesitate to use her again. She’s great!

Kristin is a nice, funny and down-​to-​earth gal with a good sense of humor and an incredibly intuitive sense of how to work, hang and play with animals.
My fiancé and I have a black lab/​pointer mix rescue who was found roaming the streets of Queens, NY with a collar welded to his neck (a junkyard dog?) by friends of ours who lived in the neighborood. He is a love of an animal when he’s comfortable and with his «peeps,» but definitely has his defensive and often dog-​aggressive nature to him as well. Though we have spent considerable time and money and effort over our almost 6 years having him now, with trainers and on our own, working our alpha state, trying to socialize him as much as possible, it is very difficult to leave him overnight for any reason. We tried kenneling him last Christmas in L.A. (where he had to be in «solitary» because of his dog-​aggressive leanings) and came home to a starved dog who had lost 15 pounds and caught pneumonia. We almost lost him, for sure.
In NY we had always had a dog sitter who had come to our house. Unfortunately this last Christmas rolled around and though we had a friend here who could watch our dog for *most* of the time we were visiting family back East, she couldn’t be here the entire time. We knew we needed to find some more resources.
In short, we found Kristin. I have never seen anyone leave as detailed a record as to how our dog spends his days and nights, walks and poops. :) She checked in with us regularly and kept our furball happy and out of trouble. I know she has lots of happy animal parents out there besides us. Hopefully they’ll get on Unilocal soon and chime in!

Kristin promptly answered my questions and always gets back to me right away. There are so many flaky pet sitters out there, but Kristin is not one of them. She did a great job with my dog, who is older and has a few health issues and therefore needs to be cared for with some precision, i.e. administration of medicine, going out for walks, etc.
I would recommend her (and have!) to anyone looking for a great pet sitter who will care for your pets with the same love and affection as if they were her own.
