Pet care experience

Reliable Home Sitter & Animal Lover

I have 10+ years of experience, playing with and taking care of various types of animals for family, friends, and professionally. Specifically, most of my experience is with cats and dogs, however I am open to other unique types of pets. I understand the specific needs and amount of attentiveness our animal family members need. I have some experience administering medications for elderly pets and feel comfortable taking doggos on outside adventures. Chickens are on my bucket list and snakes are so cool too!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I typically start off with a greeting and then inspect the space/home. Always looking for opportunity to ensure your home and pet is in tiptop shape. I'm also very transparent with pet activities and additional details so that I can ease your mind. Food and water always, walks and play time as instructed. Whatever your pet requires, I am totally up for. As far ask house upkeep a, I do offer light cleaning services (sweep, vacuum, dishes, home organization). I have experience as a house manager and did that for a couple of summers back in Austin, TX. If you have specific requests or requirements for your home, feel free to ask! :)

Kris is an amazing pet sitter and always takes great care of our cat! She even goes above and beyond to feed our stray outdoor kitty which is so greatly appreciated. She’s truly the best and I would highly recommend her to everyone!

Kris has been such a big help for us walking our sweet pup weekly. She has been flexible to last minute changes and helped us out for a last minute same day walk. We are so grateful for her!

Kris does a great job caring for our anxious small dog weekly. She stays and comforts him on days it’s storming and he doesn’t want to go outside for his walk. She is patient with him when he doesn’t listen or doesn’t walk like he should. We appreciate Kris so much for treating our little Nico like her own. Highly recommend her services.

Please let me know of any behavioral quirks your pet may have and how I am to best interact with them. If they are on a strict schedule or require medications at a specific time. How well do they play with others? Can they handle car rides? Anything you'd like to share, I want to know!
