Information Kris K. would like to know about your pet

Whatever you think we need to know. Medical issues, allergies, meds, likes/dislikes/quirks. Only real requirement is that they’ll be ok with a 3 year-old playmate (she’s wise beyond her years when it comes to dogs:)

A typical day

We’ll start the day with a nice walk, breakfast and plenty of water. While I work I can put on some soothing dog music for them to relax to. We’ll take frequent walks because I need work breaks. Can go to beach or park. Daughter gets home at 4 and will want to play some. We wind down early here, starting around 7pm and usually everyone’s asleep by 9.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for pets my whole life. They’ve all been different but each always brings that same kind of special joy. In recent years, my wife and I have fostered and adopted a few challenging pups in need. We lost a very special rescue named Nola in July 2024. These kinds of experiences taught us a lot and reinforced that we want to keep being of service to our beloved dog community. I work from home so will be able to spend plenty of quality time with your dog(s). My wife works in NYC but is always elated to pitch in whenever she’s home. And our 3 year-old Ada loves her some doggies—she’s really good with them. Let’s see…I’d say we’re attentive, responsive, patient, and loving. You can rest assured your dog is safe and comfortable with us, Our home is very clean and pet-friendly. There is a large shared yard at our apartment complex with many other dogs around. Several dog parks nearby, and just 5 minutes away from the local vet. I'm very flexible with my services and availability, so please reach out to talk about your needs and see if we'd be a good fit. Thanks for your consideration!

Kris was amazing with Axel. We received constant updates and Axel was taken care of very well! We would definitely use Kris again.
