Pet care experience

I'll love your pet like you would!

We have done long-term and short-term fostering for more than 7 years and love pets. We have a finished basement with a spare bed in case your pet prefers privacy from our resident pets. If not, our cats and dogs love visitors and are very accustomed to new friends. Both my husband and I work from home and are able to give your pet round-the-clock care. We also live in a subdivision featuring many walking trails and sidewalks to give your furry friend the fun they crave while you're away. I have two kids (16 and 8) who love helping walk and play with your pet. We are excited to love your pet just like you would while you're away from home.

Our dog Pepper absolutely loves Kristine! On long days at the office, Kristine will come over to our house to let our girl out of her crate and walk her for a bit, have her go potty, and play in the yard. It makes me feel so much better that Pepper is being taken care of during the day when I’m gone. I’d recommend Kristine to anyone.

Kristine is wonderful with all animals. She watched my Dog Daphne and was so sweet with her. Daphne loves when she stops over and insists on being right next to her. Kristi is also an amazing caregiver to her animals. They are all so loved and well taken care of. Anybody would be very lucky to have Kristine take care of their pet.

My husband and I knew Kristine would be the perfect fit to watch our cat at her home for 5 months. She loves cats more than anyone I know. She not only fed him, but made him feel comfortable and safe when he first arrived. She let him integrate with her cats and family at his own pace. Kristine’s love, affection and calm presence helped him feel comfortable very quickly. I highly recommend Kristine to care for your pets.

I work from home for a business I help run, as does my husband so I have plenty of time to hang out with your furry friend! Our pets are part of our family- and yours will be too while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

We are a home of animal lovers- our pets included! While we do not have a fenced-in yard (bordered by one fence however), any time our dog is outside- we are too and we will do the same with your furry friend. Our pets are accustomed to new friends and always are receptive and friendly. However, on the off chance your pet is stressed out by the hustle and bustle of family life, they can have their own space with either me or my husband in a fully finished basement. We will let your animal lead the way in what makes them feel comfy, safe and loved. Our goal is always to provide the home we would want for our pets if we were away.

A typical day

I work from home so your pal will accompany me throughout the day! We start with a long walk then have some time to relax with plenty of toys. Midday we enjoy some more outside time- either a walk or supervised play in the yard. I love providing lots of snuggles, attention and love combined with exercise and fun to keep your pet busy and distracted from missing you!

Does your pup have experience around cats? Do they like to chase smaller friends? Are they accustomed to another dog? Are they high energy or more relaxed? Are they a snuggler or more aloof. At your house, are they allowed on furniture (well try to do the same here for continuity)? How do they prefer to eat( free fed or specific times) and are they protective over their food? Finally, how do they tell you something is wrong? Do they have a specific "tell" to indicate they are anxious or uncomfortable?
