Safety, trust & environment

Each client need is different: I have crates and gates in my home if needed, dog beds galore, a toy chest, 6 foot fenced yard, wooded trails/nature preserve across the street, 2 chicken coops and a netted chicken area. Purified water is always available. Homemade dog treats are made fresh (client permitting) and dog bed linens are sanitized for each sit. When sitting in my home I will rarely be gone longer than 2 hours, if at all. First aid and medical equipment is on site. In a client's home I will be there as required by the client and am very detail oriented. Every pet is cared for as if it is my own.

Had a great experience with Kristin! Our two pups stayed for a week - our boy suffers from seizures which Kristin had experience with. Kristin was wonderful at keeping us updated on his condition during their stay. We received daily reports and pictures. I appreciate how well Kristin took care of our pups!

Kristin is the best pet sitter I ever had, very responsible and honest. I can always count on her, she never disappointed me throughout the years I know her.

Kris is a responsible and reliable pet caregiver. She trains dogs, understands their needs for nutrition, exercise, and medical care. She’s very trustworthy and is my go-to pet sitter whenever I go away.
