Endless pats and cuddles to be had.

Pet care experience

I love all animals and have been lucky enough to build a career around caring for them. New York is home and I have an open door policy for 4 legged friends to stay as long as they want. I also do home stays and travel interstate if needed. I have a great community of other dog loving people here in New York with lots of contacts and resources within the dog community. I am able to work remotely, if you are more comfortable keeping your dog in their own house and their normal walking routine, I am happy to come and stay. While I am firm about keeping the training that you have implemented as part of their routine. I have been known to be a bit of a softy and let them sleep where every they want, that includes my bed! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me and ask. Hope to meet you and your pup soon!

Kristie is our favourite dog sitter, there is no one else alike! She goes above and beyond to make sure our dog Lucy is safe, having fun, and loved! Kristie has a world of knowledge and has made us better dog parents! Kristie brings with her experience from Guide Dogs, an organisation she worked for, for many years!

Kristie is the best dog sitter ever! She is literally the dog whisperer. I am usually anxious when I have to leave town, but not anymore because I know that my little man is in the best hands. He actually runs into her apartment without looking back when I drop him off and she sends me pictures the entire time which by the way, she is a dog photographer, so of course, they are amazing! I highly recommend Kristie to watch your fur baby!!!

Kristie is wonderful! We've known her as a friend and as a dog sitter for several years and can't say enough about how great she is. Our two dogs, Rhoda and Cooper, LOVE her and we are always completely at ease leaving them with her on our various travels. Kristie is smart, responsible, and loves animals. She has a special connection with dogs and is also pretty great at training them. On our last trip she stayed for over a week and when we returned both dogs had completely stopped pulling when walking them. One of our dogs is older and has some special emotional needs. Kristie was great with her. I recommend Kristie highly. I can't imagine a more responsible and loving sitter for your pup! PS: she's also an amazing pet photographer if you're looking for one.

I have just read my testimonial for Kristie, I accidentally wrote "since she moved to Australia", instead of "from Australia". I think my dogs and I are are wishing she was back to look after them again. Lol. :-)
