Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard for my 5 dogs and a doggy door. When I’ve cared for others pets I go to there house at least twice a day. If needed or able I’ll go three times a day. I ensure lots of love & play time. I’ve taken care of young pups to diabetic geriatric pets to shy nervous pets. I know every animal is special in their own way. I’ve been called a cat & dog whisperer by many people. I love and care for every pet as I would my own.

Information Kristine W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know about their personality. What they like and don’t like. I prefer to take care of pets in their own home because they’re usually more comfortable that way. Also I have my own pack who prefer to keep it that way. They’re okay with small dogs coming into our home but they get protective and jealous. I like to do meet & greets before watching them so I get a better sense of what they’re used to & it’s not an automatic stranger danger situation wondering who is coming into their house.

A typical day

A typical day depends on their personality and capabilities. It also depends on what the owners are comfortable with. I love to cuddle, give butt scratches, ear rubs, play, and go for walks.

Kristine watched our 12 year old Aussie and 10 chickens for 7 days and she was wonderful. She was in contact with us every day and sent pictures of our Aussie. Just before we left, he had given himself a hotspot and he had to be in a cone the entire time we were gone. Kristine treated him with her own supplies and made a huge difference in healing him up before we got home. She took exceptional care of our sweet dog and our chickens and we returned to a neat and clean house. I would definitely recommend Kristine and will use her in the future to watch our animals and home.

Kristine did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our cats were well cared for, and everything at home was in great condition when we returned. We really appreciated her help and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Kristine is one of the most caring, compassionate, determined, and kind individuals that I have had the pleasure to work with. Kristine is knowledgeable and skilled, as she has worked many years in the veterinary industry. There is not anyone that I would trust more to care for my animals. I cannot recommend Kristine enough!

I’ve trusted Kristine with both my personal animals, as well as my patients (I’m a DVM) for years! You can’t ask for a more compassionate, knowledgeable, professional companion for your pets. Go with Kristine, you won’t be disappointed!
