Pet care experience

**Available for dog walks, overnight stays or drop in visits for your dog or cat. I am a life long animal lover. I grew up with a boston terrier and for the last 20 years I have i have had cats sharing my home. . I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats as well as rabbits, chickens and chinchillas. In addition to helping out friends and neighbors I have also volunteered at a non kill shelter when I lived in Chicago and currently volunteer at the shelter where I adopted my cat. I love providing comfort to the animals waiting for their forever home and helping families find the perfect pet for their needs. Since I am a cat owner I am also willing to take care of cats and I have experience with senior cats requiring daily medications. I look forward to providing my clients with top notch care for their beloved furry family members.

Kristin has been great caring for our two cats while we were out of town for a week. She checked in each day with reports and photos, and I feel the kitties did really well with her. She also picked up on small things like batteries needing replacement for a chip feeder, or small changes due to house keeping having been in the house. I will happily hire her again, and recommend her to anyone needing care.

Kristin took excellent care of our senior dog, making sure all of his needs were met during the drop in visits. She arrived on time, clearly communicated how each visit went and sent pictures too. I came home to a relaxed and happy dog.

Kristin took wonderful care of our cats, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. What stood out most was her patience and ability to connect with our very shy cat, who typically hides from visitors and rarely comes out for new people. Kristin took the time to earn her trust, and it was amazing to see our shy kitty feel comfortable enough to interact with her. That level of care and understanding is something truly special. Throughout our time away, Kristin kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that she paid close attention to our cats' routines and individual personalities, making sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved. When we returned home, both of our cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We are so grateful for Kristin's kindness, dedication, and excellent communication. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.
