I'll treat your pets like family!

Pet care experience

Right now I am available at most times. I am doing this job for the flexibility of working afternoons and evenings, so overnight and late-in-the-day stops are no concern, nor is anything after 11 AM. My family has always had a cat and two dogs at least, and over the time I've gotten to have three cats and five dogs. I've loved each of those animals because I really enjoy being with animals. I've typically had the experience that strangers' pets respond well to me and like me in initial meetings, and are comfortable around me. I have some knowledge of animal body language and nonverbals that helps facilitate that. I like animals of all sizes because they're all fun to be around in their own unique way, from the small dogs that tend to be easy to walk and can be cuddled on the lap to the large dogs that are generally mellow and easy-going. I've cared for pets from puppies to my twenty-one year old Siamese cat and eleven year-old pitbull mutt. I also have a degree in social work, so being thoroughly responsible, attentive to detail, and if wanted doing documentation while in someone else's home is all second-nature to me. If wanted, I can definitely write a summary of my time with the animals I care for. If there are any other questions or considerations that people in need of dog-sitting have, please call, text, or email me to let me know - talk is cheap and in my mind it doesn't hurt to ask!

Kris is a kindhearted fellow with a soft spot for animals of all kinds. He has spent time with all three of my dogs and they all take an instant shine to him. I would highly recommend Kris, he is trustworthy and amiable.

Kris housesits and pet-sits our two big dogs when we are out of state. Our 2-year-old labrador is so happy when she sees him, she instantly goes and fetches her ball and sits at his feet in "let's play! I'm a good girl for you!" mode. He's good at connecting with dogs, and has been responsible and trustworthy in our home. With our senior dog, he has been administered medication and monitored her special diet. He also provides good updates during their time together.
