Kristin's In Home Critter Care

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Kristin. Pictured is my husband Andrew, our Rainbow Bridge Pup Willow, our Irish Setter, Griffin, and our Llewellin Setter, Phineas. I'm a native North Carolinian - born and raised in Mooresville. About a decade or so ago, I began working for a veterinary office part-time in their kennel. Man! I had no clue what I was signing up for but it was something I had never tried before so I thought why not? I quickly found that I loved it and it definitely took a special type of person to do the job. I moved up to become a technician and receptionist and began working in veterinary full time. The day came when a client, the owner of my favorite boarding patient Macy, asked if I knew of anyone who would come to their home to watch Macy because, despite her always happy demeanor, she would have terrible waves of anxiety when she would board. I volunteered and the rest was history! ​Nothing is more rewarding than walking through the door and seeing a pet's eyes light up and their entire body wiggle with happiness when they see you!

Kristin and her husband were amazing! We received pictures and videos daily of our sweet Murphy and he always looked so happy. Kristin genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and we felt so comfortable having Murphy in her care. We will definitely continue using Kristin’s services! Highly recommend!

Kristin took incredible care of buddy for us. I felt so safe and assured leaving him overnight. She sent a ton of videos and photo updates which were so great to see. Will definitely book with Kristin again!

Safety, trust & environment

I always like to do a perimeter check to ensure all gates are closed and there are no easy access points for your pet to escape. I also will set outside with your pet and provide constant supervision. Inside your home, I am very vigilant about keeping all access points locked, keeping doors shut inside to minimize pets getting into things they shouldn’t, etc.
