Fulfillment through play !

Pet care experience

Hi! I have moved to Ohio from the busy streets of NYC, I’ve spent the last few years as a dog trainer and pet care provider in my own apartment and am looking to continue that part time over here on my weekends and evenings when I can. I focus a lot on exercise and activities that can provide tons of enrichment to your pup. If you are also looking for training for basic obedience the training I use is play and relationship based.

Krissy was great with our dog Sunday! It was Sunday’s first time away from us and he’s a bit nervous in new environments. Krissy helped him come out of his shell with lots of play, training and love. She is also very thorough and well communicated. I would highly recommend her service to any dog owners!

Kristal is amazing. We left our Great Dane puppy with her for 2 weeks and Kristal gave her lots of love and gave us lots of updates with pictures. Recommend very highly!

Kristal was truly great. Regular photos, super communicative, positive energy. I felt like Lew went to summer camp - just got to play all day with other dogs -- and he slept for about two days straight when he returned home.

Kristal was an amazing caretaker for our furry son!! Super prompt with updates multiple times a day and was able to fully experience our dog's personality on his second time staying with someone other than us for more than a week! Will recommend Kristal with our eyes closed and will totally be a repeat customer!

I focus on providing as much fulfillment to any dog in my care, whether through games like tug and fetch or enrichment activities like puzzles. I have tons of experience with reactive and aggressive dogs who need a little more special care and hope to bring them the best time they can have.

Information Kristal R. would like to know about your pet

*Let me know any issues or behaviors to be aware of before walking or being in your home. I would love to have a meet and greet with every new client to meet you and your pups and get to know them. Also please be open on your dogs socialization as I do tend to work with my dog by my side. *I accept dogs fixed or unfixed, also females in heat but at an extra charge due to minor inconveniences. I will make owners aware if a dogs behavior seems to be becoming a problem due to being unaltered. *Tell me as much about your dog! I love to learn their personalities and likes from dislikes. Favorite food, favorite toys, things to do, etc. Also please let me know any allergies or medical needs to be aware of.

A typical day

I have just moved to Ohio from New York and love exploring all the new places in the area. My own pup is very socialized and loves to play, he is amazing at sharing toys and has an amazing energy that helps brings out a pups want to play. But I also do not force play, if a pup prefers to be by him/herself I will advocate for them to keep a calm and happy environment, and I enjoy providing play myself and enrichment to any dog that comes my way.

I am a freelance artist where dogs fit perfectly into my schedule. I love getting out and about when I can and enjoying nature, and nothing like having a four legged companion to tag along.
