Highlights
Pet care experience
Shelter trained, Pet approved.
Volunteered and then worked full-time at an animal shelter, fell in love with our fluffy friends, and can't wait to make more! I was a long-time volunteer (2+ years) at the Ausable Valley Animal Shelter. Then I transitioned into a full-time position there as an animal technician and learned so much about general animal care, medication procedures, and sanitation requirements to meet state health codes. I truly miss being able to visit with new animals every day and look forward to bringing the bark (and meow) back into my life!
Cat care experience
Kris also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I am an incredibly clean and organized person. I always try to leave the homes I pet-sit in just as they were when I entered, even if that means a bit extra clean-up!
Ratings and reviews
Kris was an awesome dog sitter!
Kris was lovely with our dog while we were gone for the weekend. They were attentive and very communicative. I am looking forward to booking with them in the future!
Kris is awesome. They love animals and it shows. I think Mimi liked them more than me! lol Kris is very responsible and trustworthy. Wouldn’t hesitate to ask Kris to watch Mimi again.
Kris is my go-to pet sitter in the Grand Rapids area! They have taken such wonderful care of two of our cats the last few years, and we feel so at ease knowing whenever we go on vacation, our cat is well taken care of. Kris also waters our plants, gets the mail, and is well equipped to handle any other special needs.
Kris has cared for my pets for many years. I have had 2 cats and 2 dogs and they have cared for each of them as if they were their own. I’ve known Kris for many years and they are kind, gentle, and very responsible. They will take care of your pets very well!!

I'm a student, which means class times are often at odd hours, leaving many mornings open to check in on pets, keep them company, or get in some doggy exercise! I am also available almost all Fridays-Sundays, making me the perfect option for pet sitting during your weekend plans. See below for more detailed availability (updated for Sept-Dec)! Monday : not available Tuesday : 7am-2pm & 6pm-10pm Wednesday : 7am-11am and 5pm-10pm Thursday : 7am-2pm & 6pm-10pm Friday-Sunday : all day availability

- I can be flexible to the animal and knowing how they interact with strangers is super helpful! That way I know how to introduce myself to them. I also have had dogs who have specific preferences on if I wear a hat or not (I think it tends to make me look more like a man) so let me know if your pet has any problems with hats and/or men. Always feel free to schedule a meet and greet as well!
