About Kristi I.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am mindful, empathetic, nurturing, dependable, respectful, responsive, honest and kind. My love and admiration for animals is infinite and deep. I provide the most optimal and loving care to your fur baby, as if it were my own. I make myself at home and leave no trace when I leave. I respect clients privacy and I follow pet care and house instructions. Whatever I can do during the owners’ absence to improve the pet or home situation I am committed to doing it. I care. And I often fall in love with my furry clients 🥰
Information Kristi I. would like to know about your pet
What is your furry baby’s temperament? Does anything upset them or is your pet reactive to anything specific? Are there any triggers that create aggression or fear? How about allergies, special diet, or medication regiment?
A typical day
Fur babies would receive my undivided attention during our time together. Play is how I build trust. Frequent and engaging interactions is another. I give space and warmth to shy pets to ease their uncertainty. I’m attuned to non verbal cues and follow the pets’ lead to their level of comfort with closeness. I am a stranger in their home and I am very respectful of that truth. I earn their trust. With kitties I like to play with string. I have not met a kitty that doesn’t like to play with string. With your agreement, I use treats as a reward and encouragement too. I provide care by using my empathy to tune in to the pet’s needs.

💕🐾 Pet sitting is the Dream 🐾💕
Pet care experience
Pet sitting is a dream opportunity for me for multiple reasons: A. the chance to give and get pure love & care, B. providing security for the wellbeing of fur babies to their families while away, C. time away from my own routines and responsibilities 🤭 Lets meet and decide if Im the best fit for your pet’s needs. BIO: I am a mom to a middle schooler, currently a cat mom to 3 furry babies and I am married. I grew up with the most adorable French Bolonka , rescued a mixed breed in my 20’s, rescued another mix in my 30’s and have been a cat mom since 2010. NOTABLE: Was a doula and a nurse to a cat mommy and her 7 kitty litter. Currently a nurse to our aging kitty with medical needs. Animal Lover and Advocate. Special and rare connection with animals. ASPCA Volunteer. I love plants equally and would love to give them TLC while sitting as well. Happy to trim claws and brush coats too :)

Reviews
We were lucky enough to have Kristi stay at our place and watch our fur baby Eros. They love each other! My partner and I were joking that we really went away so Eros could have a pampered vacation :D Kristi checked in often and sent many pictures and videos. She left our place in great condition (even giving my plants some TLC!) and when we returned Eros was stress-free and happy. We look forward to having Kristi back in the future :)
Kristi cared for our little zoo with such love and dedication. I truly have no words. My dog is elderly and has multiple health issues, yet she handled everything with ease, even taking her to the vet for fluid injections and responding calmly to an unexpected event. Our cat, who is usually skittish and avoids strangers, even warmed up to her. Kristi sent us daily detailed updates and videos, keeping us informed every step of the way. She went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her. She's professional and compassionate, and I would trust her with my pets anytime.
Kristi was fantastic! Her and Eros bonded immediately🤗 She went above and beyond, even bringing an extra toy AND bird seed for the birds outside for our (indoor) kitty to be entertained by. When we returned home (to a tidy house like she’d never been there!) our fur baby was so happy to see us and we could tell he was relaxed and well taken care of. She also made sure to send pictures/videos and updates every day. We would definitely recommend Kristi and hope to have her back next time! ❤️
Kristi was amazing! She was really communicative and understanding. My girls all loved her. I felt completely reassured that they were in good hands while I was traveling. Definitely recommend her and will be rebooking as well 😊
