Instilled a love of nature, animals, gardening, cooking. Learning to grow and maintain huge gardens, helping harvest and can.
I brought that love to California and expanded my experience.

Add us to the chorus of Krisen fans! She truly has a special connection with animals. Absolute pleasure to spend some time with her. She left our home immaculate and our animals relaxed and happy. We can't wait to have her back!
What a relief it was to know that my home and fur babies were being taken care of by Krisen ❤️. Great communication, and great caretaking attitude, I will use Krisen again!
Excellent all-around. My doggies are happy and healthy and the house looked better than we left it. I highly recommend Krisen and Hope she’ll be available for any pet-sitting needs we have in future.
Krisen took great care of our Aussie, Toby, during our three week vacation. Krisen has a calm and kind personality. Toby liked her on the first day which made our time away worry free. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. We can fully recommend Krisen.
Krisen was great! Woody had a good time, the house was cared for and she kept us informed throughout. Highly recommend her.
Krisen was such a great person to have thoughtfully care for our home and pets while we were away. She left our home in beautiful condition (even put clean sheets on the bed for our late arrival home). She always kept us up to date on how things were at home and it felt great to have such a sweet and reliable person caring for our home. We would highly recommend her for future house sitting.
We are so happy to have met Krisen! She was a wonderful house- and pet-sitter for us for a week in June 2025. She arrived on time and our dog instantly fell in love with her. The cats take longer, but they adjusted to her as well. She took care of our home, our plants and our animals. She was great with communication and responded quickly when we texted her. It's such a pleasure to return home and find everything in its proper place, as if we never left. Thank you, Krisen! We hope you will ... MoreWe are so happy to have met Krisen!

Unfortunately I had to cancel the sit due to sheep illness, but Krisen communicated with me throughout the process of making that decision, and I found her thoughful and reasonable, and I hope it works out in the future!
Krisen was AMAZING!!! She took such great care of my sweet Esther and kept me updated on my travels how they were doing. She took her on long walks each day and took good care of my apartment. I would recommend her to anyone.
Krisen took good care of our corgis, one of which is pretty special needs with lots of anxiety. The house was very clean when we got home. She was good at communicating. :) I would be happy to have Krisen again and recommend her to all.

This was the second sit at our home by Krisen and we could not be happier with her. Our little kitten Blaze was happy and content when we returned home. We would defiantly love to have Krisen sit at our home again.
Krisen did a great job of taking care of our house, plants and pets. She kept us updated with pictures of the animals and regularly took our dog for walks.
Krisen took care of our home and cat wonderfully and she is most welcome back anytime! Thank you!
Krisen did a nice job of caring for our home and helped us keep our outdoor plants watered during a heatwave. More importantly, she took great care of our hyper Australian Shepherds by putting up with their needs for lots of ball throwing and attention. Krisen also was good about responding to texts. Thank you Krisen!
Krisen is just a sweetie! Excellent care was given our home and 3 kitties. They aren’t always the easiest kitties and she handled all the little kitty nuances very well. It was an absolute pleasure to meet her and to have her sit for us.
Krisen took great care of our dog and cat and the place. The dog showed signs of depression after she left - he bonded with her. We would not hesitate to use Krisen again.
Krisen was absolutely WONDERFUL! I'd hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Krisen!!
If you are lucky enough to have Krisen sit for you then you are lucky indeed. Krisen is 5 star in every way. I was gone for three weeks and I cannot imagine anyone better in every way. If Krisen is available commit with her and know you are getting the best of the best in house/ pet sitters...
We're thrilled with Krisen's outstanding housesitting for our dog Biba during our holiday in Italy. Krisen was punctual, reliable, and maintained excellent communication throughout. Despite Biba's difficult behavior at the beginning, Krisen's patience and warmth created a wonderful bond and she went above and beyond to comfort Biba during the New Year's fireworks Returning home, we found our house immaculate, thanks to Krisen's care. She even surprised us with a jar of homemade jam! ... MoreWe're thrilled with Krisen's outstanding housesitting for our dog Biba during our holiday in Italy.

I think my cat is in love with Kristin! She is the best house sitter I’ve ever had. I read her profile and had a very good feeling about her. I came home from my trip to a well kept home and a very well cared for cat. It was wonderful to not worry about anything. I recommend her 100%. Thank you Kristin💕 D

Krisen was fabulous, communicated with us while we were away so we knew all was well. We came home to clean house and a happy cat! I highly recommend Krisen for future house sitting.
Krisen was an absolute delight. She took excellent care of our home, kitties and garden. We enjoyed our time together before we departed for our trip. We returned home to happy cats, happy garden and spotless home. I highly recommend Krisen. ❤ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I couldn't have asked for a better first experience with House Sitters America than with Krisen. After responding to my ad for a two week house sit for my dog, Krisen and I set up a brief phone conversation to discuss the sit. I immediately felt comfortable with her watching my place and caring for Hunter. Everything went smoothly and was drama/carefree. She did an excellent job of keeping my house clean and organized and, more importantly, caring for my dog. I could tell that he really missed ...
