Dogs. The real heros of the world.!

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Kristi. Thanks for checking out my profile. First off, I love dogs. I've always had dogs in my life whether it be as pets, boarding friends dogs or working as a dog walker & loose leash trainer. Interacting with dogs of all breeds and personalities is truly my happy place. I have worked in many different fields from bar tending to social work and have found I am happiest when in the presence of dogs. So here I am. I believe in positive reinforcement when teaching dogs good manners or when breaking bad habits. Because all dogs are good dogs when treated that way. I not only provide a safe environment for your dog but also structure and engagement. I welcome dogs of all breeds, size, age and physical ability and will make sure the days activities accommodate each dog making sure nobody is left out.

When ever I need someone to take care of my pups, I call Kristi. She is great! She is warm, caring and my dogs love her! I have two miniature poodles, and they love playing out in her fenced back yard. She texts me pictures and updates so I always feel like they are safe and well cared for. She always texts right back and is very attentive. I have had Kristi take care of my pups on short day trips and longer week long trips...Even though I miss them terribly, I do know they are in great hands! Thank you so much Kristi! I recommend her to any one who needs a great, loving and warm environment for their pups!

Kristi is a true animal lover. She took care of my little chihuahua/dachshund fur baby like she was her own puppy. My dog came home happy and tuckered out both nights after spending the day with Kristi. Kristi provided regular updates through my puppy's stay along with photos. I couldn't be happy with the love and attention she gave to my puppy and look forward to using her services again the next time I'm in town.

Our little doggy, Henry, LOVES Kristi so much. He gets so excited every time he sees her, and looks completely happy and at ease with her. We've left Henry with Kristi several times as a dog sitter, sometimes for as long as a week or more, and he has done great and seems eager to stay with her every time. I love that Kristi will take Henry on adventures and give him plenty of attention, exercise and love. I completely trust Kristi that she will always take great care of Henry and love how she sends adorable photos and updates of their time together. Can't recommend her enough!

This was our first time using a dog sitter and we were very happy with Kristi. She cared for Gracie like she was her own dog and kept us in the loop on how Gracie was doing while we were on vacation. She would send us updates via text messages and sending pics of Gracie. Kristi is very attentive to her clients and we would recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitter who will walk your dog and provide the care and compassion dogs need. Jad Hamdan

Information Kristi I. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know about your dogs daily routine as I'd try to mirror that as much as possible. Does your dog have any anxieties such as separation anxiety or stress triggers such as loud noises? What is your dogs temperament ie: dominant, skittish, hyper, shy, good with other dogs/cats? Any history of bites or aggression? The more information I have the better I can accommodate and ensure a smooth transition and stay from your home to mine.

A typical day

I have a very dog friendly house with lots of comfy dog beds and couches for lounging as well as constant access to a big fenced backyard for playing. I am lucky enough to live in St. Johns where there is an abundance of places to hike and frolic. Our days start off with a neighborhood walk in the morning followed by a midday hike and ending with another neighborhood jaunt in the evening. And of course as much backyard play as they want in between.
