Experienced Dog Walker & Care

Pet care experience

I've been a dog owner for as long as I can remember. Now, in my adult life, I have three of my own pups (pit mix, aussie mix, and a chihuahua.) Back home in Arizona, I used Sittercity for in-home stays for several families and nannied for one family's children as well. Along with dogs I also cared for and trained Quarter horses in my free time; so to say the least, large breed dogs are a breeze. Before moving to Colorado I spent three years in Central Wisconsin where I was a full-time pet sitter, dog walker & would board several dogs throughout the week in my home. Now as a part-time personal trainer living in Arvada, I'm looking to rebuild a new clientele for dog walks as well as in home drop-ins, stays and welcome dogs into our new home! Let's face it, doggy lives are short - so I would love to help them live it up to their fullest, over all, dogs are my life and I'd love to share a little of my life with them!

Kristin was great!!! She took wonderful care of our dog, cat and house and the pets were happy and well taken care of when we returned home. I’ll definitely be hiring her again in the future!

Kristi is reliable and went the extra step to take care of my dog while I was away. She is professional and I highly recommend her.

Kristi did a great job, listened to all our instructions and took great care or our kitties. She also gave us daily updates to let us know they were ok. I highly recommend Kristi to care for your pets!

Needed someone to watch our dog while we went out of town for the day! Our dog has had both ACLs replaced this year and some other health issues, for sure hasn’t been his year so we are picky on who we let watch him while we’re gone! Kristi put us at ease and for once in a long time I wasn’t constantly worried and thinking about if he’s going to be ok! We will for sure be using Kristi in the future!!!!!

Safety, trust & environment

While staying in your home I like to keep a close eye on your pets to reassure everyone is safe and happy. I've never leave a home without checking to make sure everyone is accounted for, whether it's a short leave or my last time there before you come home. The same rule applies for dogs staying in my home. No dog is left unattended outside or inside. My fiance works from home and is always there to help assist me in making sure everyone is having a fun & safe time while staying with us!

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household

Information Kristi R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any feeding, sleep, potty and exercise schedules as well as any particular behaviors of your pup would be helpful (food, toy agression, unsocial with other dogs or people).

A typical day

Walks, runs, trail hikes, dog park, fetch, swims(weather permitted & with permission). Being an outdoor orientation person I plan to spend ample amounts of time enjoying nature with your pup. Everyone has a different preference to what they feel comfortable with, though. Having your dog stay within our/your home and yard is 100% OK with me!
