Kristie is a wonderful dog-sitter. You best get your request in soon, because once people find out about her, she will be booked. I have known her for many years, and she has always been responsible, reliable, loving towards my dogs, creative, and has a great sense of humor (probably the most important quality for any dog-sitter). She is able to handle problem situations and will take initiative as needed. Last year I had to leave town for a month, two times. I never had to worry about my two, big older dogs. They can be quite a handful! When I returned home, they were healthy, happy, and clearly had been well loved. She has been very flexible, available for just one day or as much as a month. I have even checked to be sure she will be available before planning a trip. If 5-stars were the best rating, I would give her 6.
