Pet care experience

Home full time- Very flexible

I am an over 50 non-smoking Mom of 2 human children and I have been a Mom to 4 Siberian Huskies over the past 20 years- 8 cats and numerous other critters- We recently lost our last Husky and miss having a pup in my life- I am very flexible with my availability - I have experience with Birds, fish, snakes, hermit crabs and of course cats- we have always had at least 2 dogs AND 2 cats in our house- I look forward to helping you with all your pets needs in addition to any other needs you may have while you’re out of town. I do insist all pets be up to date on all vaccinations and be on flea and tick prevention.

Kristin did a fantastic job housesitting our standard poodle! She followed all our instructions caring for Kona’s needs. She took good care of our home and it looked the same as when we left! I highly recommend her for pet care.

Kristin told great care of our Gus. She was willing to come meet us a couple times ahead of leaving to meet him (bc he does have some quirks and wanted to make sure they were setup for success). She sent periodic updates and took great care of our boy. Would definitely boon with her again.

Kristin was absolutely amazing! She took very good care of my fur babies. She is very sweet and thoughtful. Everything was perfect, she even took adorable pics through the night. I will definitely use Kristin again. I highly recommend her.

Kristin was responsible, reliable and caring! Knowing that she was in our home taking great care of our fur-baby while we were gone was so comforting. During our time away, Kristin sent updates and cute pics of our doggie. She took care of the house too… watered our plants. Our home was clean and immaculate when we returned after being gone for 3 weeks.

Kristin was very attentive and affectionate with my senior dog. Minnie is a senior dog and is very sensitive to change. Leaving her in Kristin’s care gave me peace of mind knowing my Minnie was in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

While I don't have a fenced yard, I do have a nice back yard area for quick potty breaks but I also have easy access to a local dog park which is where I go for play dates, if your pup is comfortable at dog parks. Otherwise, I can provide a nice walk in shady areas.

I love all pups and anything furry so would just need to know about any particulars for your pet. I have no problem administering medications. I do want a thorough story from you about your pets personality, likes, dislikes, etc. I am a crate free home, but if you want your dog crated you will need to provide the crate.
