Passion for pups/kitties all kinds.

Pet care experience

I've worked in kennels, boarded in my home and have handled and owned dogs, puppies and cats all my life. I LOVE them and they know it. I also clean up after pets in your home just like I would in my home. I am retired and mobile. I can give 100% to your pet in your home. I can schedule for your needs. A night or long term. I am very attentive to detail. I keep a clean and safe environment in your home. I treat them as individuals just as you would.

We've had Kristine house sit our two hounds multiple times now and have always appreciated her work. Our dogs seem to like her, the house is always well kept, and she's responsive and flexible in working with our family. Will definitely use Kristine again in the future.

It is hard for me trust the care of my home and my (3) rescued pups to anyone…especially to someone whom I had never met face to face…only via telephone. Kristine drove 2 ½ hrs.to sit my home and pups while I traveled out of state. Thankfully I have guest quarters and Kristine was gracious to arrive a day early as I requested, to get to know my pups and the lay of the land before I left early the following morning. I requested this because of bad experiences I’d had by other sitters whose behavior and neglect caused my pups high levels of separation anxiety. Upon her arrival, because of her peacefulness and her demeanor, my pups immediately took to her, and I could tell she would give them the love and affection and hugs and company they desire and the discipline they need…and that she would be very attentive and sensitive to their needs. As I requested, while I was away, Kristine texted me updates confirming all was well. Upon my arrival home, I found my pups very content and non-dramatic, happy of course to see me, but not needy or anxious due to neglect. This indicated to me she gave them lots of love and attention and affirmations. I have hired Kristine to once again house sit and pup sit later this year when I travel again. This makes even me have less travel anxiety and peace knowing she will be her to keep my pups safe and happy until I arrive home. George Hendrix

I will care for and love your pets as you do. That means that doors are locked. I remain on your property. Your house and pet are kept clean. I will keep you updated with pictures and texts. I can administer medication including some shots. I love puppies, kittens and elder pets as well.

Information Kristine K. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog crated? Does he or she sleep with you? Is it allowed on furniture? Is there a special toy or blanket? Are they sensitive to loud noises? Are they soothed by music? Do they need daily grooming or special attention to their ears or feet? Hand commands? Leash trained? I will accommodate them. I love all breeds and am especially good with hounds and hunters (I have owned two Rhodesian Ridgeback hounds and worked with bird dogs in Redmond Washington) as well as giant breeds and mixes. Big or small, I love them all!

A typical day

Catch, fetch, short hikes, leash walks, cuddling, a trip to a favorite park, swimming, car rides. Dogs are individuals and I treat them as such. Tell me what they like and what they are trained to do and we will do them. Cats usually let me know what they want. Hahaha! If they play with toys or like to follow me around or just nap all day, I will treat them as you do.
