Pet care experience
Animals are people, and I love getting to know them. Growing up, we always had pets around - a long series of independent-minded rescue cats, a highly active golden retriever / cattle dog, a cuddly guinea pig, a clever and rather stubborn mini dachshund (she was a riot!), and now I have a great friendship with my mom's elderly Shih Tsu mutt, who I lent my favorite flannel while she was going through a sick spell (see pic). I am a brisk and frequent walker, so I can handle some fairly energetic dogs as long as they respond well to commands and don't go nuts over random critters. Intelligent dogs are my absolute joy - our dachshund was very intuitive and we had some pretty fun conversations. Elderly and "bookish" dogs also warm my heart! As an oldest child and a driven person in general, I have an ingrained high sense of responsibility. I feel most fulfilled when I'm connecting with the world around me. I also love a good excuse to get out of my apartment, and I miss having pets of my own! Note that I'm hoping to build up repeat business, as I believe the quality of the relationship and consistent good care is what you're ultimately paying for.
Reviews
We're so glad to have found Kris and that he was able to care for our girls. We came back to them well rested and taken care of. Throughout, Kris was very responsive and communicative so we didn't have to worry about anything while we were gone. Will definitely be booking again!
Our Shih Tzu Spice has enjoyed her time with Kristofer when he has visited her for a week here and there since we adopted her a few years ago. It's obvious that Kristofer adores her and other dogs, filling up his need for dog interaction by playing with her, petting her, feeding her and helping with her twice daily potty walks.
Kristofer has watched my dog on multiple occasions, and if I were still in the neighborhood I'd ask him again in a heartbeat. Kristofer is reliable, attentive, and active. A+, 5 stars, two thumbs up--whatever the scale may be.
