You name it, pup and I will do it!

Pet care experience

I’ve been a full-time dog mom for 19 years. This includes small breeds, large breeds, puppies, and rescues. In my time working with rescues I have gained experience with dogs who have behavioral issues/needs. Not something I am shy of by any means. I have assisted friends who own a grooming salon over the years. I’m not qualified to give a hair cut by any means, but I give a superb bath and brush! Also not too bad with a tooth brushing. I love all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Also, I definitely have a soft spot for “odd pups”. My own pups are a corgi mix who is more laid back and basenji mix full of spunk! Flexible availability on evenings and weekends. Happy and excited to continue work on any training you have in place!

Kristy helped us out with walking our dog while we were out of town for a couple weeks. She was great about sending updates and photos, and very flexible when schedule changes came up. We are so happy we hired her because we were able to relax on our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. I would 100% recommend Kristy to others!!

Kristy was great. Really was a big help walking my dog while I couldn’t. My dog Brutus was sad to see her leave and stared out the window as she left my place. Will definitely book again

As first time users of Rover or anything even like it we were a little skeptical of the whole thing, as we are more used to the old ‘have a friend watch your dog’ sort of thing. After a bit of browsing we ended up deciding we wanted to meet Kristy and I don’t think we could’ve made a better choice. We had Kristy house sit and watch our dog, Tonga, over the Christmas holiday for about two weeks. She did an absolute incredible job, leaving the house practically spotless when we came back and even made us some JAMBALAYA so we didn’t have to go shopping immediately! She took WONDERFUL care of our Tonga by giving him plenty of TLC, making him friends with her dog, giving him a Christmas dinner along with presents, took him hiking...I mean really making him feel like one of her own. She really did an outstanding job and we believe made Tonga feel like he was on a retreat. He was one well taken care of pup over this holiday season. If you want your pooch/other pet companion to be in trusted, good hands then Kristy is your girl! She’s definitely going to be our first choice from here on out! ?

We had Kristy house sit for us while we were out of the country over Thanksgiving. With two dogs and two cats, our house can be a little chaotic but everything went smoothly and best of all, everyone was happy! She updated us with texts and photos throughout our trip, and even brought them Thanksgiving treats. Having Kristy stay with all of our critters gave us great peace of mind, and we highly recommend her services!
