Loving care when you're not there!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Kristin. As a young girl, I grew up in Wisconsin with my family owning, dogs, cats and horses. I can never remember a moment when my home was not filled with pets. This is where my love for animals began. I enjoy spending time with all pets — they bring me so much joy! I cannot imagine my home without dogs and cats. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats, each of them unique in their own special way. There is always a bed to sleep on, a lap to lie in and plenty of hugs and kisses! I love what I do as a pet sitter! This is my true passion! My husband tells me that I am in my true element when I am taking care of my clients’ fur babies. I have been a veterinary technician and have worked on an Arabian Horse farm taking care of 18 Arabians! I loved the smell of the barn, the horses and the sound they make when they eat. I am very blessed knowing that I am able to do what I love!! About this sitter: My love for animals began when I was a little girl growing up in West Allis, Wisconsin. I rescued, adopted and owned several animals in my home. I loved, nurtured and cared for all of them. As a little girl I always loved Great Danes; my neighbor owned one and I would go visit this Gentle Giant. It was then that I knew I would own one some day. So I sought out a Great Dane Rescue and picked out — or should I say she picked me out — a beautiful Harlequin named Zoe. She was my companion for 9 years. I adopted her when she was 4 years old. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge when she was 13 years old. (She had bone cancer). My love for animals is embedded in my heart. I enjoy caring for them all! I volunteer for a local rescue by pulling dogs from a high kill shelter and transporting them to area rescues. Why I love dog sitting Ever since I was a little girl. My home was always filled with dogs and cats! Meet my pets 5 dogs and 3 cats About my yard I live on 2 fenced in acres

She seems very loveable to her dogs and I feel that love transferred to Dragon also. Dragon seemed to feel at home there!

Excellent experience! ? It was my dog's first overnight away from me & he did great because Kristin is super awesome with dogs! I highly recommend Kristin's K9 & Cat Care to anyone who needs it! She genuinely loves dogs & cats! ?

Kristin is just wonderful with my girl, Camille. When Kristin comes to stay at my home, Camille is so happy to see her! I love that she shares a bed with Camille. Kristin is trustworthy, patient, kind and compassionate to animals. I would highly recommend Kristin to take care of your pets!!

Kristin is my neighbor and she is such an animal lover! I have dropped off my dog at Kristin's home when I am away, and my dog, Barney enjoys his time there. When I come to get Barney, I can tell by his behavior that he is so comfortable and happy at Kristin's home. Kristin is so patient and conscientious of all pets needs. Kristin is trustworthy, kind, respectful and has a gift with pets.
