Kristi's Care
Pet care experience
We are huge animal lovers. All of our pets have been rescues. We have lived in the Philly area, the Bay Area, Orange County California, and most recently, the PDX area. Before owning our first dog, I used to volunteer at the local shelter to walk dogs weekly. This is how we met Lazy Lebowski. I completed a year long, college dog training course with our old dog, may he rest in peace, to take him from a timid rescue dog to a confident therapy dog. Lebowski and I visited hospitals, libraries and rehabilitation facilities on a regular basis, until his passing at 14 years old. We are currently in training with our new 10 month old puppy, Ginger. She is a shy girl, who loves other dogs. She gets socialization at local dog parks, overnight stays with friends who have dogs, and spends some days at doggie daycare. Our dogs travel everywhere with us! Camping, hotels, beaches, hiking, and restaurants (when allowed). We have always worked our lives around to make sure the pets are happy and able to join as often as we can!
Reviews
Kristi and her family welcomed our Loki boy into their pack immediately. I got frequent updates and pictures. He was so sad to leave after a few days of hanging out. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to board your dog!
Another great stay!
Tiki loved her time with Kristi and her family (including Bob the cat)!
Kristi and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog during our trip! The daily pictures made us feel connected, and we will definitely use and highly recommend them for your pet! :)

Safety, trust & environment
If I were to become your regular walker, I would be happy to bring my pup along for company. However, if your pup needs undivided attention, we can discuss this! For daycare days, or overnight boarding possibilities - We have a wooded 1/2 acre yard, with a lovely walking trail. We visit Waluga and Luscher Farm dog parks often and walk around our neighborhood trails nightly. My yard is in the process of getting fenced and I can’t wait!
Home
Information Kristi P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Is your dog ok around kids? Does your dog like meeting strangers on the street or do they prefer to walk on by? How does your dog do around other dogs? Does your dog like to be the center of attention or would your dog enjoy another dog as a hiking companion? Does your dog like dog parks or do they prefer walks and playing in the yard?
A typical day
I enjoy taking the dogs to new places to walk in our neighborhood, we walk a different route each time for variety. If your pooch enjoys dog parks, these are great places to burn some energy! If your dog enjoys more one-on-one time, we have so many amazing dog friendly hikes to explore. Can’t wait to get to know you and your pet!

Availability
I am a veteran teacher in her 22nd year. I am currently teaching remotely from home part time, so I will have lots of time to spend with your pet(s)! I am hoping to find some families who would love to become regulars and I am excited to meet new doggie friends in the area.
