Information Kristi R. would like to know about your pet

How sociable are they? What makes them timid or afraid? How do you handle them when they are afraid. Do they play well with others? I love all breeds and feel all animals love me. I also have no formal training; however, I have worked to train my own and feel I do very well controlling them on walks and runs. We may even go to PetSmart to play with our friends if the pet owner is okay with taking them in my car.

A typical day

Dependable, Caring, Active, provide 120% with every stay or visit. Always willing to go the extra mile.....it's never crowded. I have a lot of energy and based on your pets needs I am able to play, run, walk and fetch with them. They will always have my undivided attention, unless they are sleeping of course. :-)

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Kristi, and I hope you will consider allowing me to love and care for your furry family as I have ALWAYS cared for mine. They honestly didn't know they were dogs. I have been in the health and wellness industry for 22 years. I was raised as a child with dogs and cats and owned four very active labs. Sadly, my last black lab (Jett) had to be put down last June. When I find the right time to provide the attention our furry families need, I want to train to become a therapy dog and take it into children's hospitals/senior homes. Nothing beats the unconditional love of a dog. Priceless. Makes my heart smile. I believe they should have if you are going to own a pet.

We had a great experience with Kristi as our cat sitter. She was respectful, personable, and showed great kindness to all our pets. During the meet-and-greet, she quickly bonded with our anxious dog, even though we took him with us on our trip, which was a huge relief. Kristi made sure to follow all instructions for our cats, ensuring they had enough food and water and scooping their litter box as needed. She went above and beyond by checking our mailbox, even though we hadn't asked her to, and kept our house just as clean as we left it. She also washed the dishes she used for feeding the cats, which was very thoughtful. Her communication was excellent throughout. Highly recommend!

Kristi did a great job taking care of my fur children while I was out of town for the July 4th weekend! She sent daily updates and pictures and really seemed to care about their well-being. I definitely would recommend using her for all of your dog watching/walking needs!

Kristi has a great love for animals and they seem to love her right back. I recently asked Kristi to go with me on a search for a new dog after losing my last one. I am wanting a specific breed, we went to a local rescue of that breed and all of the dogs were immediately attracted to her, all of them! I am the type of person who will not board any of my pets, having a kind, caring, responsible and loving person take care of them is such a comfort when you absolutely have to be away from them.
