I’m a vet tech; I’ll love your pet!

Pet care experience

Hello! 👋 I am an animal lover at heart and will be professional and caring toward your dogs and/or cats as we bond with scratches, play and exercise. I value and cherish each and every pet I meet for their beautiful, endearing traits and personalities. ☺️ Note: I am fully vaccinated and can provide proof upon request. I offer 30-60 minute walks and will run with your dog as requested. 🐾 I often spend longer than average time with each pet per visit to ensure they have a great time and get all their needs met. I also enjoy reinforcing and improving upon a pet’s skills and behaviors as they present themselves in our interactions. I love being a “pupperazi” as it were 😉, so you can expect text, photo and video updates of your little darlings. I am a certified veterinary assistant and worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years. If your pets need medication administered I can do that. I am also certified in the operant conditioning techniques of dolphin training. The breed I raised for 14 years and have come to love is Siberian Huskies; however, I love to care for all dogs and cats both big and small. 😌 I look forward to meeting both you and your fur babies! 😊 Pet care is a passion, and I am fortunate enough to be able to do it on a fairly flexible basis. Still, I have other commitments that ebb and flow throughout the year; thus, my availability may be limited at times. I treat pets in my home the way I would my own pets. That is, where I go they go whether it be on the couch or bed. ☺️

Kristi is a very kind and expert dog sitter. Our Australian shepherd can be difficult at times with strangers, and Kristi was wonderful with her. They went on excursions to the beach and had fun playing together. I suspect our dogs might have been a little sad when we came home.

Kristi K is THE BEST EVER! Izzy fell in love with her immediately and the bond was instant! Izzy actually spent a whole month with her and she took such great care of my Furry One! I got pictures, videos and updates every day and I had such a peace of mind while traveling! It was the best! Don’t hesitate to contact Kristi to take care of your pet! She is THE BESTEST! Thanks, Kristi! Izzy and I hope to see you soon! Aloha! XOXO

I Highly recommend Kristi's pet caring services. She is truly an animal lover who goes above and beyond to make your furry friends feel lots of love. Kristi takes the time to send you picture to reassure you know your pets are happy. Dog walking, feedings, overnights or even someone to drop by when you have to work long hours Kristi would be the perfect fit.

I understand Kristy K. is looking to be a dog sitter. I recommend her highly. She is a warm and loving lady who also happens to love dogs. As a young girl, she took care of our animals when we went on vacation and was very trustworthy even then. She has a dog of her own that she considers family, as we all do with our own dogs. I am sure she will treat your dog with the same love and kindness that she shows to her own dog.

Information Kristi K. would like to know about your pet

Brief meet and greets are an easy way to ensure a great future stay, so I like to schedule that first thing at no extra charge. Not only do I get to meet pets and owners alike, but I can also familiarize myself with their surroundings, take note of feeding/bathroom/walk routines, establish key exchanges, and find out any special needs or requests. I also like to observe the interaction between owner and pet to be able to provide continuity in care. I’m intrigued to know if a dog has any behaviors it knows or enjoys doing such as sit, fetch, shake, or other fun interactive games with treats. I’m most interested in the dogs specific social needs such as how much space he or she likes as well as how much physical contact he or she would most enjoy? How does the pet interact with other animals outside of the home? I aim for a smooth, enjoyable and excellent experience for all!

A typical day

I love to engage pets in interactive play and/or training where they use all their senses reinforcing with toys, praise and/or treats. Of course, giving scratches and spending chill time together goes without saying.
