High Level of Care, Safety and FUN

Pet care experience

Pets are part of the family and need physical, mental and physiological care. I put a lot of thought and attention into the animals I care for. When you are away, you want peace of mind knowing that your pet well taken care of. You want to know of their needs are being attended to. I don't just provide pet care tasks, I'm going to develop a relationship with your dog or cat so that they have fun, look forward to our time together.

Kristy was so accommodating and Maci Bear fell in love instantly! Kristy went above and away bringing Maci on walks around the neighborhood that Maci absolutely loves while still being thoughtful of Maci’s older age status and tending to her needs (for snugs and snacks!). She posted photo updates as well as tracked the walks so I could see the time and distance and path, making me feel at ease knowing that my sweet pup was still happy and living her best life! Will definitely use Kristy again!!!

Kristy was a fantastic sitter and went above and beyond for my kitties while I was away. She stayed the entire half hour and even extra at times to make sure they were happy and played with. I appreciate all the extra effort and communication. I felt so at ease knowing they were in the best care! I will reach out to her any time I have to leave my pets, she’s definitely earned a new client with her professionalism and honest love for animals. Thanks again, Kristy!

Kristy was so kind and timely in her visits to care for our very silly, insecure schnauzer Sammy. She even took interest in our turtle, and dealt with a tricky door situation! We recommend Kristy for those who want timely and compassionate care for theirs pups!

Kristy is awesome. I have never hired a dog walker before so I was a little hesitant as I am the only one in the family that walks our Golden Retriever. Kristy put my concerns at ease and did a wonderful job with walking our dog this afternoon. We will definitely use her again in the very near future!

I offer dog walking and drop in pet visits while you are away. I currently don't take animals into my home. I will make sure all the doors are locked as I enter and exit. I will let you know if anything is not right with your home like the heat is out or a water leak. If I notice something weird going on around your house I will let you know immediately. I can also water plants or do light landscaping when you are away. I can give you special rates for weeding, cutting grass or other light landscaping.

Information Kristy A. would like to know about your pet

Outside of the normal routine, is there anything that your pet doesn't like or are there certain noises that scare them? Are they escape artists? Are there any health issues I need to be aware of?

A typical day

With dog walks I like to keep the walk interesting, get good exercise and actively watch for any potential safety hazards. I like to carry treats as a reward if the owner says it's OK. With a drop in visits I can also do fetch, play with a favorite toy or give them a frozen kong, lick mat etc. I mostly leave it up to the owner. I answered yes to high energy dogs. I can give them good exercise through a brisk walk, mental activities, fetch, but I don't offer running or biking.
