Compassionate Pet Care Specialist

Pet care experience

Loving Care for Every Pup – From Playful Puppies to Sweet Seniors With years of hands-on experience bathing, walking, and calming dogs of all sizes, I treat every pet like family. I’m trained in gentle handling, basic grooming, and medication administration, and I specialize in helping anxious or senior dogs feel safe and loved. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle time, or keeping routines consistent, I focus on making pets happy and owners worry-free.

Kristal helped me so much with walking my pup! She was always responded quickly and was super patient with my schnauzer. I would definitely book her again.

Kristal did an amazing job with our two large pups! They got long walks every day, looked very happy in all the pictures, and were very relaxed when we returned. Kristal also has a very calm and professional demeanor which helped make our pups comfortable with her immediately. We will definitely be asking her to sit for us again!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities. In your home, I follow your pet’s routines exactly — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes — to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I use gentle handling, watch for signs of stress or discomfort, and send frequent updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing. If I host pets, I provide a calm, clean space that’s secure and free of hazards, making sure they feel at home while you’re away.

Information Kristal O. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to know any important details that will help me give them the best care possible — such as their daily routine, favorite activities, triggers, and comfort items. It’s also helpful to know about any health concerns, medications, allergies, or behavioral quirks (like anxiety, reactivity, or resource guarding). The more I know upfront, the more I can make them feel safe, happy, and cared for.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping pets happy and engaged. We’ll start with potty breaks or a walk to burn energy, followed by playtime with their favorite toys or games like fetch or tug. I include cuddle breaks, enrichment activities (like puzzle feeders or training practice), and plenty of love and attention. If caring for seniors, I focus on gentle walks, comfort, and sticking to their routine. At the end of the day, I make sure they’re relaxed, fed, and ready for a cozy nap or bedtime.

Availability

Pet care is already a part of my daily life. I schedule walks, feedings, and playtime around my flexible work hours, so I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings — including weekends — and can adjust my schedule for pets who need extra care, medication, or specific routines.
