Pet care experience
I have loved and cared for animals all my life and would welcome the opportunity to give love and attention to your fur baby or babies! My own pets are my boy Titus, a 10-year-old Shih-tzu; 5 sweet guinea pigs; and 6 exotic finches. I am passionate about all animals. I recognize that our domestic friends rely on and thrive on routine and that for some, your absence or even my presence, might be stressful, so I try to keep things calm and do a lot of reassuring in the beginning. Same goes in my house where they are in unfamiliar surroundings.
Reviews
Kris was great with our cats. They seemed to enjoy her visits and we were happy with her updates and pics. We would definitely ask her to watch our kitties again.
I always appreciate Kristine's care of my senior cat.
Kristine was great with our cat, Mishu. She was very communicative, diligent, and always sent me pictures of my baby while I was gone. Thank you, Kristine!!!!!
Kristine did a great job taking care of our senior cat spending time with her and making sure she was enticed to eat her food despite our cat's picky tendencies.

Caring for pets is personalized to meet their individual needs based on clients’ instructions. There is a lot of intuitive care as well, recognizing changes in behavior or signs a pet needs something additional, to go out again, more affection or reassurance. I also make sure things are neat and tidy in a client’s home, sweeping cat litter for instance.
Information Kristine G. would like to know about your pet
I ask for full disclosure on pets’ temperament, tendencies, and likes or dislikes. For instance while some dogs will let you take their toy from them when playing fetch, my own dog is extremely possessive and I let people know don’t let the wagging tail fool you, he’ll nip so keeps hands away.
A typical day
I bring my own playfulness and affection but would take direction from owners about activities and places for walks and exercise. For boarded pets, I live by the river and we take walks down there.

Availability
I tend to schedule my routine around my own pets’ needs and daily care. When I’ve committed to caring for someone else’s pet, whether drop-ins or in my home, my personal schedule gets altered so I can focus on their care.
