A typical day

I love hanging out with all animals but especially dogs and cats! My Kids kindly gifted me with a beautiful toy Australian Shepherd, Bella Roo for Mother's Day (6) years ago😊 Bella is filled so much love, joy and high energy levels 😂 Like Bella, each and every dog and/or cat brings their own unique and customized lifestyle and expectations when their pet parents leave them with a sitter. A typical day with one of my special dogs and cats includes: breakfast, lunch or dinner, lots of photo opportunities, a water, potty/poop break, fetch, tug-of-war, belly rubs, back scratches and cuddle time. I do offer dog walks too! A typical day with two of my special cat clients includes: breakfast, a water break, snack time, cuddle time, playtime, and 10 minutes of outdoor birdwatching adventures.I make sure to provide several photos with detailed notes about our visit together 🐱🐶

Kristi just did an excellent job caring for our senior Chihuahua. She kept us up to date with photos and texts, and we came home to a clean house and happy dog! It was so nice being able to travel worry free.
