Safety, trust & environment

Safety and wellness for all animals is a priority to me. I'll make certain your pets are cared for and showered with affection. I know what's is like to worry when you're away from your fur baby.

Information Kristi V. would like to know about your pet

I don't have the strength to care for large dogs over 60 pounds who need to be walked on a leash. If they are older and have fenced in exercise space I'm more likely to be able to offer what they need.

A typical day

I love to play, take photos to share with families while they are away. Besides walks and feeding if your pet is interested I'll introduce mental stimulating games like hiding a treat under little cups.

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a responsible and caring pet owner based in East Syracuse with lots of love to share. My only child has has flown south away from winter for college. So I am finding myself with extra time and loads of affection to share. Whether it's caring for your dogs or cats, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. From feeding and playtime to walks and cuddles; I’ll ensure they feel safe, loved and cared for while you're away. Feel free to reach out to discuss your pet care needs or if you’d like any additional information. Thank you for your consideration, Kristi V.

Kristi is nothing short of a magical Cat Whisperer. I think at least one of our cats is disappointed that we came home from vacation because she was so much fun! She is highly recommended, very dependable and sets the bar for pet sitters.

The cats have the best time with Kristi. They have really come to enjoy her watching them over the past year. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Kristi is a phenomenal sitter and person. She went above and beyond when it came to taking care of our senior Bichon and our one year old Mini Poodle. She was incredibly diligent and passionate about making sure that my dogs were walked, fed, and played with. Whether you need her for a drop-in visit or to stay overnight, she is an amazing sitter who I would highly recommend.
