Pet care experience
Are your pups bilingual? During the week I work as an elementary school Spanish teacher, so flawless background check, and am great with kids and pets alike. Plus I am punctual, have a great driving record, and in the summers, my schedule is open! Past furry clients include: boxer puppies, a great dane duo, twin labs, and hamsters. I have my own pet friendly transportation and am happy to make house calls or to stay overnight (I find most pets feel most comfortable in their own homes). My undergrad is in Music theatre, so I’ll probably be singing while I walk pups or running alongside them. My high energy works great with pets that need lots of walks. Please message me for more info, and we will schedule a meet and greet!

Kristi went above and beyond for me and Mo. Her caring and assuring approach to taking care of Mo started with the way that she intently listened to the orientation that I provide anyone who takes care of my very energetic chocolate lab. At the beginning of house sitting, I actually had some travel complications and she was graceful, flexible and supportive as I was trying to address it. I felt so comfortable with her after first meeting her that I gave her keys to my home and knew they were in good hands. I wholeheartedly recommend her to take care of your beloved furballs.
We had the distinct pleasure of having Kristi and Jaret watch our two dogs for a weekend. Both were highly communicative, punctual, and truly cared for our pets home as if it were their own. Jaret immediately made friends with our uber-energetic lab and kept him busy with intense games of fetch while Kristi made sure that our beagle got his couch snoozes in without fail! When we arrived home, Charlie and Dobby were happy to see us, but probably a bit sad to say goodbye to their new friends. Kristi was an absolute joy to work with and I will not hesitate to rebook with her when we get away for the weekend again. Thanks for such an awesome experience!
Kristi's amazing. In 14 years since I adopted my first fur child, I've never trusted a service or anyone other than . . . good God, my mother . . . to watch her. I was in a major pinch trying to get the family to SF for the weekend and found Kristi through general Rover search. She (and her super cool fiancé) made time to meet with us same day for intro to home and dogs. She took great care of our three dogs, including a Beagle pup which came from planet Holy Shit, Whose Idea Was the Beagle. Not only that, when on a whim we stayed out of town an extra night and she too had plans to be out of town that day, and we struck out on last-minute peops elsewhere, Kristi went far above and beyond and found us another trusted person to care for dogs until she returned. Kristi's flexible, reliable, great with dog monsters, eager to assist, and all around awesome. That said, we do not recommend her and ask that no one hire her so as to ensure her availability whenever we need her next.
Jaret and Kristi where awesome! We felt immediately comfortable with trusting them with our dogs and our home. They spent a week with our two Great Danes and our Bullmastiff. The dogs loved them, they gave us regular updates with pictures and they took really good care of our house. We look forward to using Kristi as our house/dog sitter again in the future. Very good and trustworthy people overall. I highly recommend.
