I love meeting new fur babies!
Pet care experience
***I HAVE MOVED & MY PROFILE SHOULD UPDATE TO THE CORRECT AREA (15218)*** I've been watching family, friends and neighbors dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and horses for over 20 years. I started taking care of fur babies full time in 2019 and have absolutely loved all the pups and parents I've been lucky enough to meet and keep relationships with. I do my best to help with any last minute vacation plans go more smoothly. I only watch ONE DOG in my home at a time (unless they live together) as I can monitor their food intake, their stools and give them one on one attention they love so much. That rule also includes any Meet and Greets, I will only schedule them on days I don't have a doggy guest. I've learned that it's way too much stress for all parties. I allow them on my furniture and will adjust to the specific dogs routine or training as directed. I made a special dog tag that says "Call my pet sitter Kristi if found" w/ my phone #. I put this on every dog I watch just in case you have an escape artist. I live alone in a duplex home on the main floor (my entrance is in backyard) with a patio and partially fenced in back yard (I will be putting a gate so it's fully fenced). I have a Maine Coon cat (Hashbrown) that is very chill and won't chase or try and play with your pup. If either her or your pup is uncomfortable with the other then Hashbrown can be moved to a separate area.
Reviews
Kristi is a staple sitter in our household! She’s friendly, communicative, and takes the best care of our pup! She’s recently settled into a new neighborhood, and the transition was a piece of cake! Our dog felt right at home, and he’s always excited to spend a few days with his buddy Hashbrown.
Kristi is the go-to sitter for our dog. She’s very conscientious about our dog’s safety and comfort, gives frequent updates, and is consistent in giving our dog the multiple medications she needs each day. Kristi cares very much about her clients (both dogs and people) and it shows in the way she acts and communicates.
Kristi took care of our pup for 2 nights and sent lots of pictures/videos showing us how well he was doing. She was very quick to communicate and very responsive to all of his care needs we expressed to her. We also really appreciated how much time she spends with the dogs she watches! Thank you Kristi!
Kristi has watched my pup a few times now and she’s never let me down. She follows the instructions I leave and she provides updates to me during the stay as well. This most recent stay my dog got sick and Kristi took great care of him until I could get home from my trip. She alerted me as soon as she noticed anything and kept me in the loop. She went above and beyond and washed his blankets he’d had gotten sick on. I would definitely recommend Kristi.

Information Kristi L. would like to know about your pet
Are they aggressive, prefer to be the only one who gets attention? Do they suffer from separation anxiety or get startled from noises that would make them bark nonstop. Are they house trained?
A typical day
I live just up the Rd from Highland Park and there's a nice track to walk around the resavoirs or they have a dog park. There's also plenty of space to run around in my backyard and play.

I do this full time and try to make any appointments when I don't have a fur baby here. They will be spoiled and loved like my own while they're here.
