Animal Lover, Home Full-time!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm Kristi - mama to a sweet four-year-old boy and a cuddly eleven-year-old Cairn Terrier - and I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby. I became a pet sitter because I absolutely adore dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals. I have so much love and compassion for their sweet faces and unique personalities! I was 13 when my family rescued our first dog. I named her Shelby and showered her with love from the moment she moved in with us. She was a shy, scared pup at first, but she quickly warmed up to me and we formed an amazing bond full of love and laughs. Shelby truly was a member of our family and became my gateway into the world of furry faces and wet noses. Over the past 25 years, I've had the privilege of sharing my home with dozens of animals, ranging from dogs, cats rabbits, hamsters, birds, and fish. I can't imagine a house without some sort of furry friend jumping up into my lap for a good movie or squeezing into my bed at night for a snuggle. Our pets are our family. I know what it's like to want the very best for them while you're at work for the day, out of town on a business trip, or enjoying a much-needed vacation. I'm dependable, I love being outdoors and exploring new spaces, and I get excited about meeting new people and their furry family members. When your dog is with me, you can rest assured they'll be safe and receive lots of one-on-one attention. I treat all of my furry guests just as I'd want my own to be treated and enjoy sending pictures and updates during our time together. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby soon! *Please note: Dog Boarding rates are 24-hour periods per night, from time of drop-off. A Daycare rate will be added for extended stays.

Kristi, James, James, and Arnold are the best. Louie's West Coast family. We miss them.

Kristi was an amazing sitter. My dog has separation anxiety and usually barks and cries when I leave, but Kristi made sure he felt right at home. She sent me a few pics throughout the day which really eased my mind because I could see he was having a great time. When I picked him up he was in such a great mood! Will definitely trust Kristi with my Charlie again soon!

Information Kristi F. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog pet friendly? How do they behave while out in public? Does your dog have any issues, separation anxiety, allergies or special needs? I can only accept dogs that are house trained, non-aggressive, dog-friendly, spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccinations and flea control.

A typical day

Depending on the needs and desires of your pup, I enjoy taking energizing walks throughout the neighborhood (or on a preferred path if you'd like) or I'm happy to take a slow stroll while your dog happily sniffs around and simply enjoys being outside. I love to play fetch and engage in a fun game of tug-of-war, and relax with some good belly rubs and neck scratches.
