The Barkshires - Husband & Wife Duo

Pet care experience

*Don’t worry if your dog isn’t cat friendly! The cats have an entire apartment in our basement to be in!* I’m Khrys, I am a CCPDT certified dog trainer and former NYC dog walker (2012 to 2020). I now work in marketing where my husband works as a software engineer so we are tech loving dog people! We have two rescue cats named Mango & Chai. My soul dog Butter passed last year and he was the star and reason I am where I am in my dog career! I owe it all to him. Layla, the senior Doxie we adopted toward the end of Butter’s life, followed to meet her brother exactly one year later. My husband and I both work from home and I group dogs based on personality when we aren’t home to make sure everyone is safe and happy. Our 3500sqft yard is fenced and we have 4 bedrooms in our 2000sqft home. Wherever your dog feels safest, whether it’s on our bed or in a crate, their feelings and personality is 100% taken into consideration.

Excellent start to finish. Super fun and also knowledgeable. She kept me up to date (but not too much) and I know my dingos enjoyed every second.

Khrys was amazing!!! She took the time to get to know my cat Rico and she went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Khrys!

Khrys was the perfect person to check on Betsy; she was comfortable with a grumpy kitty and handled her with care. Khrys was also very communicative, responsive, and flexible. Would recommend Khrys to anyone!

Khrys managed to entice my phantom cat to come out and see her. Communication was good.

Information Khrys S. would like to know about your pet

Quirks and any behaviors that you feel are important to know. I do not expect a dog to be 100% on their first night and I give them time to decompress and understand their personality.

A typical day

So many toys in the yard! We also go hiking and swimming in small groups. I also have puzzles and various enrichment activities at home.
