CPR/First Aid trained Dog Mom of 3

Pet care experience

I'm a former EMT and Emergency Room Tech who is now following my dreams of working with dogs full time. When I'm not with my own 3 rescue dogs and a cat, I'd love to help care for your animals! I am familiar with pet CPR/ First Aid, dog training, nutrition and working with rescue dogs. I have worked with many rescues who have had behavioral and territorial problems and helped turn their behaviors around. My main example is with our second rescue dog Archer. When we met him, we didn't know he would be skin and bones after being found in a ditch in Georgia. When we saw his smile, we knew we couldn't give up on that boy. His older brother, Alpha, was a little too excited for such a malnourished puppy. With a lot of time and patience, we worked on Archer's food aggression day by day, while giving him 3 meals a day to help him gain healthy weight. After months of moving the boys closer while they ate, he gained our trust. His food aggression toward dogs was gone. Since I was 8 years old, I would watch Animal Planet constantly I knew working with dogs is what I was meant to do. Whether they need a walk, bathroom break or play time, you can trust that I will treat your fur family as my own.

Kristi is a sweet person and absolutely loves animals. She takes people’s concerns into consideration and is very responsible. I don’t like the idea of putting my dogs in a boarding facility due to the fact they haven’t been in one! I’d rather them have somebody watch them who will play with them and spend time with them! I would recommend Kristi to dog sit over a facility ANY day!

Kristi has 3 dogs of her own and is constantly interacting with others, including mine. In every case I've observed, she has been caring, responsible, and loving with them. I would have no concerns about leaving my dog with her!

I worked with Kristi in the past and her work ethic along with her attention to detail are amazing! I have 4 dogs (3 Italian greyhounds and a Rhodesian ridgeback) so I can tell you from experience that your animals will be in safe hands with Kristi! She has such a bubbly personality and loves animals with all of her soul. Once you meet her and experience her energy/spirit you will understand how you will not be disappointed choosing Kristi to care for your pets!!

Kristi is very responsible and would be a great dog sitter. I’ve known her for many years and feel she would be the perfect candidate.
