Dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs!

Pet care experience

I've had dogs my entire life, cats for 30 years, and guinea pigs for six years. When my kids were growing up, our home was full of pets -- four dogs, five cats, and eight guinea pigs at one point, not to mention numerous dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, and guinea pigs that I fostered. I volunteered for seven years in the cat habitat of the local animal rescue when I lived in NC, caring for up to a dozen cats and kittens-- I cleaned cages, fed the cats, observed them for illness or other problems, medicated them as needed, and of course played with them! I currently have one cat and two guinea pigs who get lots of love and attention from me.

Kristi took excellent care of our kitties and sent lots of fun pics to ease our minds while traveling and away. She sent detailed updates and came home to things clean and orderly. I would highly recommend Kristi to care for your kitties.

Kristi was absolutely wonderful, it was my first time leaving my cats and she took wonderful care of them. She took the time to play with them along with the necessities. Would definitely recommend and will book her again!

We received excellent care and communication from Kristi. Couldn’t be happier about the attention to detail. All of the instructions were followed to a tee and we have 5 dogs all under one roof. Exceptional!

Kristi did a great job taking care of our cats and frogs. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures each day. She was also very patient with my elderly cat.. who sometimes needed a little ‘extra’. I will definitely book again.

Safety, trust & environment

My cat is indoor only. She hangs out with me while I work, usually keeping an eye on me from her chosen perch of the day. My guinea pigs share a large cage right next to my desk, and sometimes I'll hold one on my lap while I work.

Information Kristi S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there's anything your dog particularly likes or dislikes. I'd like to be aware of any sort of medical issues that may arise, as well as contact information for your vet and or after-hours emergency care.

A typical day

Depending on the dog, I will run around and play with them, or I'll let them sit in my lap while they get lots of petties and love.

I'm available Monday through Friday in the morning before 8:30AM and the evening after 6PM, as well as anytime Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings. Ideally, I am looking for a regular care situation.
