I’m currently a stay at home mom so I have a lot of free time but that also means sometimes things can be chaotic which is why Dominick steps in at times. Having his help ensures that I can make it to dog walks or drop ins or he can take over but between us, we can cover a lot more pet care, too.

Safety, trust & environment

The way we aim to care for your pet is as close to the way you do as possible. We like to ask questions to get the best idea on what your pet’s day to day care looks like so we can pick up where you left off and make this as smooth for your pet as possible.

Information Kristie & Dominick S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any preferences in breeds or the size of your pet(s), as I love them all. But I would like to know the “dos and don’ts” regarding your pet.

A typical day

I like to start their day with a walk after breakfast. At home, I love to toss a ball and play tug of war. I also enjoy trying to teach dogs new tricks or snuggles on the couch. I’m willing to do whatever I can to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible, as I know that this can be a difficult adjustment for owners and pets.

Caring for animals is my passion!

Pet care experience

Please note: this account is mine, Kristie, and if you reach out, you will be speaking with me but my husband, Dominick, steps in to help sometimes with meet and greets, dog walks, etc. which is why his name is also on this rover account. I just want future clients to know that sometimes it will be me showing up or it can be Dominick but if there is a time when he will be stepping in, I will give a heads up. Hello! I have loved animals since I was a child. I have about 20 years of professional and personal experience with dogs, combined. I have owned a miniature schnauzer, a chowchow, a weimaraner, a poodle, a goldendoodle, a cockapoo, and three pit bulls. I have experience with other dogs as well; of all sizes and personalities. I am very patient, loving, and caring of animals and I take their well being very seriously. I am willing and able to work with any specific requests that are asked of me when caring for someone’s pet(s). Caring for animals is what feels natural to me which is why I take great pleasure in dog sitting, dog walking, and spending time with dogs overall. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have the time and flexibility to accommodate most requests. My husband, Dominick, works overnight so he is home as well during the day to help with the kids while I take care of your fur babies OR he helps me take care of a pet’s needs. Whether it’s entertaining, feeding, or walking your dog, we’ve got it covered! When it comes to updates, I will update you as often as you’d like. If that’s everyday, got it! Pictures? I’ll send those, too! Communication is definitely important to me. Please reach out with any questions or just to chat and see if I’m a good fit for you and your fur baby!

Kristie and Dominick are great! I mainly communicated with Kristie and she was very professional and conscientious! She has a love for animals for sure and will take care of your furry friend very well. My poor pup Kobe got sick ans she helped out asked questions and was very helpful and kind to both Kobe and myself. I highly recommend Kristie and Dominick.
