Fun, energetic pet lover

Pet care experience

I am a proud owner of a happy mid-large size multibreed dog. He might be 12 years old but he still acts like a puppy! I also had a cat when I was younger. She was more like a dog in terms of her personality: she loved to cuddle and be near her humans. I've done dog sitting and cat sitting for friends and I love to play with animals. I'm a responsible adult with a license and a car. I'm also a registered nurse so I'm comfortable with special needs like medications or special diets. I'm willing to work on weekends and holidays. I would be happy to give your pet the loving care they need in your absence. As this is my second job, I consider it to be the one I do for the love of it!

Great job with dogs. Took for walks despite rainy weather and even gave medicine. Sent pictures (of my happy dogs) and updates to me.

Kris is such a sweetheart! We felt completely comfortable leaving our pup with her for the day while we took my parents all over town for a visit. She sent us a couple pictures during her stay and left our house exactly as it was when she came. Our dog was sad to see her go. We can't wait to work with her again!

I have known Kris for years. I have relied on her on countless occasions to watch my german shepherd, terrier and cat while I was away from home. Not only did she take great care of them, but she even bought my dog ointment and bandages when he developed one of his usual hot spots at the bottom his paws. She did so without me asking her to, and refused to take payment for the medical supplies. By the time I came home, my pets were returned to me in a better condition than in which I left them. They absolutely adore her! She didn't have problems with controlling my 90 pound shepherd despite his aggressive behavior on walks. He listens to her better then his owners. I know Kris has large elder pup of her own which she loves dearly. I trust Kris with the keys to my home and the fuzzy members of my family which live within it. She is punctual, dependable, nurturing, and assertive enough to bring the much needed order and discipline when handling my dogs. Most importantly she really takes her time to insure that my animals receive the love and attention that they need when I am away. She is truly a blessing.

I have known Kristine for several years. She is a caring and responsible dog mom with a great work ethic and a love of animals. I have had the opportunity to see her interact with not only her own dog, Lucky, but cats, dogs of all sizes, and even rodents. Kristine has a natural confidence and warmth that immediately puts dogs, cats, and other animals at ease. Kristine is a mother (to both children and her dog), a nurse, and an all around caring, trustworthy person. I would confidently leave Kristine to care for my beloved animals, and also my home.
