Pet care experience

Animals make our soul happy

I'm always the friend to help train their new dog, helping them warm up or telling the owners what they can do. 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 take them to the dog park. I have 2 children (9 and 15) that also keep the dogs busy. I walk, feed, give a little training, and alot of affection. Your furbaby will be apart of our family.

Kristi was so sweet and made sure MJ was well taken care of! He was comfortable and happy while I went out of town for work. Definitely will book with her again!♥️

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

We had a great experience with Kristi! She took wonderful care of our dog and kept us at ease while we were away. She even went the extra mile and bought meat for our dog’s birthday since we weren’t there, which meant so much to us. We’re very grateful and would definitely recommend her!

Kristi was amazing, Very responsive and kept me updated with Lava. Lava was a little intimidated by the other dogs and she made sure he felt comfortable and he was able to loosen up and have fun. Beautiful and clean home as well. I’m so thankful for her she came through for me last minute. Definitely booking again!!!!

Kristi would not let me inside to show living conditions of the dogs, she was not present when I dropped off my dogs and she came in late because she left the dogs alone with her child when I came to pick up my dogs. My dogs nose was bleeding when I picked him up too.. I do not feel safe leaving my dog with her ever again

Safety, trust & environment

I have a tall wooden fence that is locked, to keep any sprinters or jumpers safe. I have 2 dogs and 2 kids that will keep your fur baby company. We love cuddles and affection. We take walks along the grass in our neighborhood. Sometimes we go to dog parks for socialization and a good work out. If they like water we have a doggie pool that the pups love to swim 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 permits. And playtime as well.

Pets

A typical day

I can take them to the dog park for socialization and exercise (with owner's approval). Otherwise walk around my neighborhood which is very scenic with alot of scents. I have a backyard they can run around as much as they like. We can play with toys and 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 prepare. Anything your pet likes or doesn't like. Would like to know any specific needs.
