What’s It Like to Be a Dog?

Pet care experience

Animals, especially dogs, are my favorite way to spend my time. I am endlessly facinated by them and the way they experience emotions, us and the world around them. Do they really perceive our intense love for them the way we do and return those feelings? Do they feel shame or guilt? What about their dreams? My most recent read is “What It’s Like to Be a Dog“ by Gregory Berns. It’s about the science side of a dogs mind, but if you like that kind of thing I highly recommend it! I have been working with a partner for over three years now, cultivating animal care clients. I’m located in Green Hills, but am willing to travel as far as Franklin for overnight housesitting visits. Additionally, I do pet sitting in my home, which is a good alternative rather than putting your pet in a kennel where they might not get the individualized love & care they need. Whether staying in your home or mine, I have my sweet & playful chihuahua mix pup, Ziggy Stardust, that is very well trained and plays well with all friendly dogs. I can even bring him with me to your home (no extra charge 😁), if you like, as an bonus playmate for your pup(s). Ziggy loves to play, play, play all day long and acts as a good tool toward socializing your dog(s). He’s my Chief Playtime Coordinator!! You can see some photos of Ziggy with our Boston Terrier client, Dash, under the photos section.

Krista was so sweet and loving with my Juliet!! She allowed us to go meet her in advance and see where Juliet would be staying. We were able to meet her sweet puppy Ziggy as well, to see how the two would get along. They were instant buddies. She asked all the right questions to understand Juliet's needs. She sent regular photos and updates while I was away. Juliet is a very mommy-attached dog and even sleeps with me, so I was nervous about leaving for 6 nights. Once we met Krista I knew she was in great hands! We'd love for Juliet to stay with Krista again!!

Krista was wonderful!! She took such good care of our dog, was so easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures and cared for him like he was her own. We will absolutely use her again!

Krista is much more than we could have ever hoped for. She loves dogs, she regularly walked my dog, understood his needs and personality, and sent me updates and photos! I could not recommend her any higher.

Krista kept our 1 yr old mini Bernedoodle for several hours today. Our girl Charley was happy to go with her and she had the best time. Krista sent us 9 photos of Charley playing with her dog, Ziggy, and enjoying her back yard and patio. They went for a walk in the park, and overall it was a great experience for Charley, and for us! So great to know our girl was safe, well cared for, and in such capable hands! We will definitely ask Krista to keep Charley again. I knew when I met her, I could trust Krista was an A1 doggie lover!! ❤️

If you would like your fur baby to stay with me in my home, I can provide frequent potty breaks and playtime at our home and the park! At nighttime, I can crate your dog or he/she can sleep on the floor by me in their own bed, or even sleep with me in my bed!! Any additional needs can also be arranged (please specify at time of booking). Whatever it takes to keep your pet happy! 😃 If you would like me to stay with your pet at your home, which typically is the least stressful on animals, I will accommodate all routines, games, phrases … whatever will make your pet(s) super comfortable and content while your away. Frequent updates, photos and videos will be sent to mom & dad via text daily. You’ll almost feel like you’re with us! And I will even tidy up and wash the sheets so everything is nice for you when you get home!!

A typical day

Whether we are at your home or mine, I have a super sweet 3 year old, 18 lbs, chihuahua mix named Ziggy Stardust who could be a super fun playmate for your pet. He LOVES to run and play and is great with all friendly dogs. He’s kind of my CPC (Chief Playtime Coordinator)! Whatever the scenario, TONS of fun, cuddles, love, playtime, the park, and maybe a nap and puppy massage sprinkled in. When your baby is with me, I treat them as if they’re my very own and typically get pretty attached to all my little stinkers!!
