Ready to swap secrets w/ your pets!
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Kristi (she/her) and I think dogs and cats are undeniably better than people haha. I owned a Rottweiler/Germ Shepherd mix for 15 years, so I have experience raising, petting, and playing with dogs. I also have worked with many different types of dogs through my experience working as a dog bather at a dog groomer's. Your dog can expect tons of pets and play time with me!! I am also a cat mom to a big chonky cat that tolerates dogs! Through Rover, I’ve had plenty of experience with different kinds of cats. Happy to pet, play with, and chat with your cats!
Reviews
Kristi was fantastic! She really made my little Monty feel loved while I was away. I could see it in the many pictures and videos that she sent me. She showed up on schedule and let me know if she needed to deviate. She did an all around great job with feeding, medication, and cuddling. I would hire her again and recommend her to others without reservation.
I want to make Kristi the godmother of my cats. This is our second time booking and it's clear our cats are not only comfortable but enjoy her visits immensely. Even my shy cat Pickles, who runs from everyone, has warmed up enough to give her kisses and make biscuits. It means the world to me to know they are safe and happy and stress free when I'm away. Kristi is the best!!
Always does an amazing job with my dog and puppy
Absolutely loved Kristi and so did our cats! The videos and updates she sent were so cute. She treated our cats as if they were her own which helped us to not worry about them while we were out of town for a whole week. Our shy, timid cat even warmed up to her during her time with them. Will definitely book again!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a pet friendly apartment with my cat who would gladly keep your pet company (or at the very least tolerate their company)! I could always crate your dog or keep them in my bedroom for the day while I am gone to ensure they are safe. I often play with my cat when I get home from work and would definitely include your pet in on the post-work shenanigans as well! At my clients’ home I am always sure to be respectful of your space and make sure the pets are being safe! Very mindful of keeping doors closed/locked where necessary.

Information Kristi T. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how they are with cats, their temperament, how they are when you are not home, if they engage in any resource guarding behaviors, if they have any injuries or sensitive areas on their body, their behavior on walks, and what (if any) behaviors on my part will upset your pet.
A typical day
I love to lounge around and nap with pets. I also love to take them outside on walks when I can and also spend a ton of time outside and inside playing with them!
