Caring for animals is my passion!
Pet care experience
I have loved animals since I was a child. I have about 18 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 request(s) 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 of a 4 month old son and an 11 year old daughter so I am home all day with your pets, giving them the love and care they deserve. My husband 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 an pet’s needs. Whether it’s entertaining, feeding, or walking your dog, we’ve got it covered! Where your dog sleeps in our home depends on your preference. If you would like your dog(s) to sleep with people, they’re welcome to in our room! If your pet likes to be alone, no worries, we can set up an area. And if you prefer your dog to be crated, we can make a place for that as well. We’re willing to accommodate your preferences! When it comes to updates, I will update you as often as you’d like. If that’s everyday, I got it! Pictures? I’ll send those, too! Communication to me is definitely key.
Reviews
Kristie & Dominick S. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Kristie & Dominick are family now having booked them for several trips out of town. Our scaredy-cats may be slow to warm but we love that Kristie does whatever she can to interact with them as well as handle the basics of feeding and litter duty. I can’t tell you the peace of mind it gives me to have a reliable and professional person looking over “my kids” rather than the uncomfortable favor of asking a neighbor. Thank you Kristie and Dominick for being there for us and for your sensitivity to our girls who struggle so much with our absence.
Kristie was fantastic with our kitties! We had a last minute cancellation from another sitter and Kristie was able to step in. She was communicative and easy to work with. Will definitely be asking her to take care of them again!!!
Kristie is the best. We’ve hired her 3 times now (and have another planned) and I shudder to think what I’ll do if she’s not available. My cats are very wary of strangers. She seems to have charmed them. 😍

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. There’s a park nearby that I love to go to for long walks. 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.
