Kristen Seymour

Kristen Seymour is a freelance writer, editor, and aspiring novelist based in Sarasota, FL, who knows the names of every dog in her neighborhood (and a couple of the humans, too). While she’s covered topics ranging from travel to tech for dozens of print and digital publications, pets are her specialty. She’s especially passionate about helping pet owners give their pets the best possible lives by providing excellent care and creating a loving bond through positive reinforcement. Because, honestly, animals are just too pure for this world, so we need to do our part to make up for that, right? Naturally, this effort starts at home with Kristen’s rescue pets — a senior hound mix named Hollie, who loves nothing more than a long staring contest with the backyard squirrel, and Trixie, a fluffy gray cat with the most perfect little white feet … who hasn’t learned that 4 a.m. is not the ideal time to serenade her family.
