Pet care experience

Animals make our soul happy

I'm always the friend to help train their new dog, helping them warm up, or guiding the humans on what they can do to help their fur baby. I've always loved animals. If somebody has pets I'm usually paying them more attention. I've been rescuing animals since I was a little kid. I just like being around them, helping them, and giving them what they need. I have a fenced yard. I have 2 friendly dogs that will love to play and keep your pet company. I have 2 kids (12 and 18) that also keep them busy. I walk, feed, give a little training, and alot of affection. Your furbaby will be apart of our family.

I love booking Kristi to watch Snow. He really loves going to her house, and play with her dogs and son. She always takes really good care of him, and he comes back so tired from all the playing. Thanks so much as always Kristi, you’re the best!

Kristi is excellent at watching pets and you should utilize her pet-sitting services! This is now the 5th or 6th time that Kristi has watched my cat Apollo. Kristi is excellent with communication and is flexible in terms of drop-off and pick-up if life circumstances come up e.g. I've had to drop Apollo at 11 pm due to getting back late from work. She's good at sending pictures of my cat without prompting. My cat isn't lonely and gets attention from her and her kids. Apollo appears in good health every time I've picked him up. Kristi is very reliable and caring. When she was watching my cat Piper, Piper had a seizure and Kristi immediately rushed her to the vet and notified me. Hands down, book Kristi to watch your pets!

Kristi is the best sitter I have found for my shy dog Pepper. Pepper is always excited to see her and you can tell Kristi is such an animal lover. Exactly the kind of person you want taking care of your fur baby

Safety, trust & environment

I have a backyard with lots of smells for enrichment and lots of room to run. I have 2 dogs and 2 kids that will keep your fur baby active and never alone. We love cuddles and affection. We take walks in the neighborhood and the nearby park in additjon to backyard play. I have a dog play room with many toys for them to play with, watch tv, lay on the couch. If they like water we have a doggie pool that the pups love to splash in. They are fed based on owner's schedule and any medication needed. I can do some basic training like sit, lay down, stay, come, look, and walking. For cats, they are fed based on owner's schedule. Litter box cleaned. Affection, if cat allows it lol And playtime as well.

Pets

A typical day

We walk through the neighborhood and to a nearby park. As well as go in the backyard several times a day to run as much as they'd like. We have chew toys, stuffed animals, balls, etc. We can play with toys or get belly rubs and cuddles. For hot days we have a doggie pool for them to splash around and cool off.

Kristi can host up to 5 pets per night
I would like to have a meet and greet initially to make everybody comfortable. Would like to know dog's temperament (gets along with dogs, animals, children) so I know how to best accommodate them. Anything your pet likes or doesn't like. Would like to know any specific needs. I want to make them feel at home.
