I stepped away from the corporate world and have chosen to start pet sitting, because I love animals and will love yours too! I will most likely do more than you ask, stay longer than expected and give lots of extra hugs and pats. Why, because I want to your pet to feel happy and secure while you are away.

Safety, trust & environment

My pets are spoiled, as they all should be. They have lots of toys, kitty trees, hammocks, safe plants, treats, dry and wet food twice daily, clean water dishes daily, clean litter boxes and scoops frequently and regular scheduled visits to the vets to. I own two cat carrying back packs and take them for walks and to a friend who lives in an assisted living environment and when I bring the kitties in, it puts a smile on all the residents there. I also care about the animals outside and feed the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits and the occasional deer, opossum and raccoon. I pay attention to detail and always make sure that my pets and others are cared for with that extra touch of love!

Information Kristine S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs, behaviors, likes and dislikes your pet may have. What are their favorite activities and toys! I want to make them just as happy as if you were there!

A typical day

I love to walk and be outside! I can take your dog for a walk rain, shine or snow, and I will run around the yard with your dog too; we can explore or chase balls and sticks. If just chilling out is what they desire, we can do that too! Nothing better than getting down on the ground on their level and playing or just giving lots of affection. I will play with your kitty or take them for walks (I own a cat carrying backpack). Or if they like we can just sit together and gets lots of pats and hugs and brushes.

Pet care experience

I am a volunteer at a no kill cat shelter. I have some experience administering medicine. One of our bunnies became handicapped, so he lived in the house with us, and I cared for him with such love and extra attention. Our aging dog could no longer see the stairs well, so we carried him. I do what it takes to make mine and your pets feel so loved.

Kristine was great watching our two dogs. Before caring for them she gathered all the information about them and their respective needs and preferences and took detailed notes. She communicated with us to let us know how they were doing during her visits. We knew they ertr in good, kind hands.

I contacted Kristine last-minute on a holiday weekend and was thrilled that she was available to watch my two dogs. She was very responsive, asked great questions and took amazing care of my guys. Would definitely use Kristine again!

Kristine was amazing with my dogs and made me feel so much better about having to leave them for a few days.

Kris is the best. She's always going above and beyond for Creedence. Knowing she's there for my pup, as particular as he can be, really puts my mind at ease when I work long days.
