Flexible schedule, VERY attentive!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life. I’ve rescued and adopted all different types of dogs (small, large, shy, aggressive). I currently have a 3 year old Australian Cattle Dog mix named Oakley Anne who has taught me so much about high energy and extremely intelligent breeds. I’ve cared for dogs who are elderly, ill and need extra love. I’m available on most days depending on my schedule. I’ve read many dog training books and am looking to be certified in pet first aid this spring! My love for animals made me want to be a veterinarian when I was growing up but I felt a special bond with dogs and wanted to work specifically with them. My life revolves around caring for my kids and pets. I would love to meet new people and their pets. I love all kinds of dogs! Especially, believe it or not, mixed breeds and the runt of the litter. AKA “mutts”. I guess you can say I’m always rooting for the “underdog.” I have some dog grooming experience and may be looking into adding that as a part of my services. Mail clipping, bathing and styling.

Kristi was great! Both of my pups instantly loved her! My poor pup was too strong and broke the leash on her (she does it a lot), but Kristi handled it well! Will definitely be calling back! :)

Kristi has always been extremely kind and generous with pets. She loves entertaining, nurturing, and caring for them on a daily basis. When they hear her approaching the door after running errands or teaching her class, they immediately know that their day is about to get better. There is no doubt that she is an individual that can be trusted to handle your pet with the respect and care that they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

I have crate trained my dogs but I am completely okay with dogs that have free roam. I prefer leads that do not have choke collars and also recommend chest harnesses for large breeds.

Information Kristi D. would like to know about your pet

What does your dog like to do? Play fetch? Run? Do they like short walks or long walks? Are they fond of other dogs? Children? Do they like to bark? Is he or she allowed to have treats? Does your pup like to cuddle? Are they weary of strangers? Have they had any injuries I should know about? Are they afraid of things like thunder or loud noises? Please help me get to know your pup so we can have more fun together!

A typical day

I love walking along the boardwalk and really enjoy taking pups to the dog beach in Manasquan which is approximately 1.5 miles from my family’s home. I do have an SUV that is pet friendly that I can transport if needed.

I’m a bartender so my hours are flexible but vary weekly. I need one week in advance to plan accordingly but prefer to have my schedule set 2 weeks at a time.
