Dogs are better than people!
Pet care experience
Booty rubs and snout kisses! Dogs have brought me more joy than I could ever have imagined, and I'm eternally grateful. If I can return even a portion of that through some sweet sweet snuggles, playtime, rolling around on the floor, tummy rubs and wiggles - I'm 100% IN. Long energy-burning walks are imperative too of course! I grew up with dogs, and they were always treated as part of the family. As an adult, I too treat my dog as such (is there any other way?!). I will lovingly treat your dog(s) as part of my family, and care for them the same way I'd care for my own dog (ahem, family member). I have experience with all sizes and ages, including the aging dog with visual/auditory impairment. I'm happy to administer medication and/or supplementation. I completely understand the anxiety of leaving a pet. Whatever you and your dog(s) need to feel safe, secure, comfortable, and happy, is what I'd love to be able to do for you. I would love to care for your four-legged friend(s) for you!
Reviews
Kristy was absolutely wonderful with my dog Phoebe. Phoebe has separation anxiety and had also recently suffered a minor injury, so there were a few very specific things I asked Kristy to keep an eye on, and she went above and beyond to make sure that Phoebe was safe, comfortable, and happy. Kristy is also great at communication—sending frequent updates, photos, and asking questions when she has them. What a kind, trustworthy, reliable, and delightful person!
I highly recommend Kristy! She took wonderful care of our dog, cats, and fish during an almost week-long overnight stay. We could tell by the photos she sent that our pets felt very comfortable with her. She also had an added responsibility of giving one of our cats oral medication (not easy). Kristy was very communicative, reliable, and professional, and our house looked better when we got home than when we left. We feel lucky to have found her. :-)
AMAZING!!!!! Wonderful with my babies, communicative, and even did laundry. My babies even went to go look for her when we woke up in the morning.
Kristy goes above and beyond! She is so wonderful with the dogs and great about communicating. She left the house cleaner than she found it. Would use her again anytime we travel!

I try to maintain whatever schedule your pets are accustomed to. Sleeping, eating, walking, etc. Just want them to feel as safe and comfortable as possible without their parents. I’d love to be their person while you’re away!
Home
Information Kristy C. would like to know about your pet
I have experience with all shapes, sizes, ages, and a very wide variety of breeds. Love for all of them! I had dachshunds for years and am intricately familiar with the stubborness dogs present.
A typical day
I love to be walked! Does your dog have a favorite route? Does he or she enjoy sniffing out the latest activity in the 'hood? I'm your gal! I will help your dog(s) burn some of that doggie energy, get some vitamin D, while we explore their favorite haunts. I love the company of dogs, and am not in a rush. If they want to spend a little extra time sniffing out that fire hydrant, who am I to judge? I love a good game of chase. I play a mean tug-of-war, throw a pretty solid ball, and also provide an excellent lap for the less active pooch. Sometimes, all one needs is a sweet little snuggle on a human heating pad. I'm here to fulfill your dogs needs!
