Pet care experience

Young professional who loves pets!

I've had pet dogs and cats my entire life and have pet sat for neighbors and friends since moving to the DMV area. No pet is too old or too young! I have trained puppies and am comfortable taking care of dogs that require medicine or topical treatments. I am flexible, courteous, clean and professional. I treat all pets like they are my own and I'm happy to chat and see if I'm the right sitter for you!

My 4 month old Cavapoo was well cared for. All routines and care plan discussed were followed and he got lots of love, play and walks as appropriate. I was consistently updated about his wellbeing and schedule and had no worries at all. Highly recommend Kristy for dog sitting and boarding my your little one in her home. Will definitely rebook! Thank you so much.

Kristy and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They took excellent care of them and sent us lots of pictures, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear our dogs felt comfortable, happy, and loved—they absolutely loved staying with them! We highly recommend Kristy and would happily book with her again.

Harper had her first overnight stay with Kristy. Kristy was wonderful to work with as she kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. It was a great experience for Harper (and me) !

Safety, trust & environment

I have access to an unfenced yard and have two older dogs at home to keep your pet company. My dogs are not crate-trained, but I can crate your pet if that is your preference. I have both a crate and large pen to limit access to the kitchen. I can also send you updates as often as you'd like! I have a car and can take them to their vet, if needed or in case of emergency.

Pets

A typical day

Depends on the pet! My older pups love to nap and I play with them if they are up to it. Most of the time they want snuggles on the couch while I read or watch TV. The puppies and high-energy dogs I watch enjoy going on walks and playing with all kinds of toys in my home. You're welcome to bring their favorite toys and I will walk them as often as they need.

If your dog is on a routine, I would love to know it so I can implement it as best as I can. I would also like to know if they take any medications and when they should be given. If you pup has special needs or anxiety, I would like to take precautions and make sure they feel safe in my home.
