BISSELL Pet Lifestyle Expert, Kristen Levine
Like many of us, Kristen Levine developed an emotional connection with animals at a young age. Early volunteer work led to a fifteen-year career as the Public Relations Director of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Tampa Bay, where she played a critical role in promoting pet adoption and pet lifestyle education.
In 2002, Kristen founded Fetching Communications, the nation’s first and only marketing and public relations firm wholly dedicated to serving the pet industry. Today, Kristen is a popular columnist for NBC Universal’s Petside.com, the Tampa Tribune newspaper and host of Pet Life TV webcasts. Kristen is also a frequent contributor to pet and veterinary trade magazines nationwide.
Kristen, who brings her 140 dog-years of experience in the pet world to BISSELL and tests and reviews the company's pet-focused cleaning products, lives in Florida with her dog, cat, pygmy goats and a pair of miniature donkeys. “I’m so delighted to embark on a partnership with BISSELL Homecare because of their commitment to providing simple, effective pet clean-up solutions,” says Kristen. “But most importantly, BISSELL and I share a common mission--to promote the adoption of homeless pets across the U.S.”
Kristen likes to boast that she remembers the names of every pet she has ever had including Suzie, Vanilla, Noel, Taffy, Jiffy, Mousekin, Squeeky, Tabby, Ginger, Ernie, Oreo, Magic, Max, Poopie, FatCat, Zeke, Izzy, Willow, Bilbo, Timmy, Cocoa, Scooter, Tank and Buck.
