My name is Toby and "Aunt" Kris is one of my favoritest people! She takes me for walks and goes faster than my short-legged moms, which is lots of fun! My moms say Kris is a godsend for those days when they have to do grownup things after work. They would not trust me to just any old body since I'm the best dog ever. At least that is what they tell me!

Hiring Kris to care for my 14 dogs while I am away at work was one of the best decisions I ever made for myself--and for my dogs.  The level of skill, training and experience that Kris brings to her work is unparalleled in my experience. 

Kris is completely reliable in all the difficult tasks and mischief that 14 dogs ranging in age from puppies to seniors can provide.  Just telling one black Lab from another black Lab is an accomplishment, but she knows them each by name and by their unique behaviors.  All my dogs love her. 

Kris not only follows complex directions but also notices when things are not quite right or a dog needs some special attention.  She knows when to ask questions and when to provide feedback.  She’s also quite artful in the picture updates she sends.  Clearly caring for dogs is more than just a job to her.

 I want my canine family to know that I treasure them even when I am working.  And with Kris I do wholeheartedly believe they all feel treasured.

We have been so fortunate to have found Kris a little over a year & a half ago. She takes such great care with Bailey and us. She always sends us a picture and an update on her time with Bailey and even looks ahead to see what the walking conditions may be for the day and makes adjustments as needed for Bailey’s comfort and safety. Communication is easy and so is the billing and payment. Kris has a natural way with animals and we love knowing Bailey is in her hands.

My name is Dallas and I asked my rescue mom if I could tell everyone how much I love Kris.  My sister and I wait anxiously every week for our midday walks . Although she clearly loves me best, she showers us both with hugs & love and makes us feel so good. Mom and dad rest easy knowing that Kris are here to help take care of us. We feel safe with them and are always happy to see them walk through the door! Mom and dad recommend Two Girls and a Leash to all their friends and anyone who loves their animals and wants to ensure they have the best care possible. Kris is the best!

Kris has been a lifesaver for our little family since we moved to North Durham -- walking our dog Maya during my first pregnancy and the first year of our daughter's life, and caring for our often-standoffish mostly outdoor cat Clio when we're out of town. They are flexible, professional, caring, quick to respond, and great animal photographers!

Our two dogs looove Aunt Kris because they spoil them with attention! We first learned of Two Dogs & a Leash from our vet who gave Kris a glowing recommendation.  Kris is flexible to our scheduling needs. We always know that our dogs are well-loved & well-cared for when they are with them.  One thing that really sold us on Two Dogs & a Leash was that they set up a time to do a meet & greet. At that time we only had 1 dog. She played with our dog & answered all of our questions before we signed the contract.  Kris also takes the time to keep a “doggie journal” of the dogs’ activity/walk each time they come & it’s written from the dogs’ perspectives--not only informative but adorable!

Truly love animals & it shows!
