Dogs, cats, chinchillas, oh my!!

Pet care experience

Hi! I am an experienced pet owner, having had domestic and exotic pets.I recently moved to NE Austin and I’m open to new clients on this side of town! Unfortunately for my South and SW Austin pet parents, it will be difficult for me to do check ins. I have a referral for you if you need though! ❤️ I love playing with dogs and cats! I have a stunning fluffy black cat 🐈‍⬛ and a chiweenie puppy named Pablo! Anyway, I was a RuffTail Runner volunteer with Austin Pets Alive! I would take dogs out for walks/jogs around the lake in Austin on my free time. Very rewarding! I’d love to care for and spend time with your pet when needed. I work a full time job, and my schedule is tight where I have most availability on weekends. I can make exceptions for some week nights. Thank you for your consideration! Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. My family has had family dogs and cats growing up, and also hamsters and fish. I’m usually the one giving the dogs and cats at my friends’ homes too much attention and they love me for it haha! I also have experience caring for my late pets Charlie the chameleon, and my chinchilla Raisin. Meet my pets I have a new cat, Osa! (Just celebrated her second year Gotcha Day anniversary). She is a long haired black cat and she's full of sass. I adopted her when she was almost 7 years old from the Austin Animal Center and I'm so happy I did. She's the perfect cat for me! My experience administering medication I have only fed pills stuffed in food to my dog before. I've never administered shots, but I'm sure I'd get it once shown how.

Kristin, you’re awesome! Thanks for taking care of our little Preston over the holidays. Kristin pays attention to the details and made sure our dog was in good hands while we were out of town. Even wiped his paws after a rainey, wet morning walk. 🐾 5/5.

Kristin did an awesome job watching our 2 cats! She has a super quick response time and accepted our booking on late notice. She gave updates, took pictures daily and even cleaned up the poopy mess one of our cats made. Our boys seemed to really like her and I will definitely book with her again. Thank you Kristin!

Kristin was great! We gave her a lot of information and instruction to follow, all of which she nailed. She took lots of pictures and appeared to have a natural knack for caring for dogs. She's experienced and communicative -- highly recommend!

I make sure doors get closed behind me quickly so no one can run away if I can help it! I lock doors when we leave for walks and make sure food is stored away as requested.

Information Kristin P. would like to know about your pet

I am a pit advocate, but I love all breeds! I love big and tiny dogs! My family has had labradors to chihuahuas. Very flexible. And I've cared for timid cats and super affectionate, friendly cats too! I love them all :)

A typical day

If I’m with a dog, we’re going on walks or playing with their favorite toys! Or for lap dogs, they can chill with me on the couch if that’s their jam. I will play with cats if they’re into it and give plenty of pets!
