Pet care experience
I can complete most special requests, including baths or administer medications, and can sit for birds, buns, reptiles, etc. Multiple pet discount. I’ve helped friends and family with pets since I was a teen and have been highly involved working with rescue groups. I’ve been a professional pet sitter since 2000 & provide references, insurance, and full-time petsitting since 2019. Furbabies are family! ***Housesitting rate is for overnight stays, not constant care (I will be with your pets overnight) with a 30 minute midday check between 11-2:30 during my lunch route. Constant Care is my overnight rate plus $20 an hour from 8am-5pm, negotiable for long stays but I do need to go home a minimum of 3 hours daily. I have compared rates with brick and mortar petsitting businesses who will send any staff available and found that this is slightly lower than rate charged if they offer constant care. My rates are location depedent within a 3 mile radius or 15 minute drive of my home due to needing to return to my home area for daily client dog walks and drop-ins. My goal is to build my petsitting clientele with repeat customers. I’m very flexible and will make myself available for your pet(s)! When you leave them, I love them! I stay in your home where your pets are the most comfortable and you won’t be required to obtain boarding shots. I believe your home is the safest place for your pet! I follow directions to a tee. Cleanliness, safety and discretion are top priorities.

I care for your pets in your home. Please feel free to be detailed! Checklists are my friend. Please also let me know if you would like your dog to have park time (only with your permission) and both of us can get some fresh air in the morning or evening when it is not so hot outside. I speak MEOW! I foster cats & kittens through a shelter and take part in eliminating the pet overpopulation. My Rover income supports my "hobby" in foster/rescue.
Information Kristy B. would like to know about your pet
I speak Meow! Feel free to share any information you think might be helpful. I love hearing stories and please let me know if he or she likes a park or is good on walks when they see other dogs.
A typical day
I also pick up mail/packages, water plants, and care for pocket pets. I pay attention to every detail of the instructions you provide and look forward to meeting your furbaby! Park time (with your explicit permission) is fun too. I prefer to follow your routine-show me where you usually walk.

Availability
Covid-19 update: If you’re working from home and your pups need some exercise, I’ll be happy to help! Im still accepting bookings through the crisis. Are you a healthcare worker or other frontline employee? We can discuss your needs. Support small business! I'm available for overnight stays and intermittently during the day for walks and drop-ins. PLEASE FEEL FREE to establish your pets with me and I can be available for emergencies, such as a family member or other petsitter that has an emergency and can't make it. I may have other pups to walk or cat drop-ins during your housesitting and usually go home to shower & eat. I love my job as a pet sitter! Do you have a LOT of cats? I reduce my fees for multiple cats 🐈 *Sometimes, although rarely, I have to tend to my own dogs or foster kittens if my backup isn't available.
