I'm their home away from home ❤

Pet care experience

I adore dogs and their unique personalities! I have owned dogs for over 20 years and have always considered them my furry children. I am a full time stay at home mom to my 8 yr old son & my 2 dogs, so I am virtually always available! I have experience caring for dogs in all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. I also have experience with dogs that have anxiety issues and providing dogs with medication. Over the years I have helped my dogs heal from surgeries and/or illness and must admit that I did "baby" them when they needed that extra love and comfort from Mama. I treat all dogs as if they were my own, giving them the love and attention they deserve! I have boarded dogs of various breeds/sizes/ages-from an 11 yr old greyhound, to a 2 yr old sheep dog, all the way down to a 4 month old/5 lb shih tzu pup! Some are just overnight, some are over a week. I love having dogs come and stay with me-they're the BEST type of house guest! All of my clients have been extremely satisfied with how well I cared for their pups and put their minds at ease. I currently have one regular "potty break"/walk pup that I visit Mon-Fri. I also have a somewhat regular boarding client who comes to stay with me usually every other weekend, sometimes every weekend. She's over here so often that she feels like my own pup now! & my dogs treat her like she's one of the "pack" as well! She has a great time when she stays with us! I've received lots of compliments from my clients. For example, I've been told that I went above and beyond their expectations, that they're thankful to have found me, that I'm awesome, that they appreciate me, etc, etc. I absolutely LOVE spending time with dogs & am extremely lucky to be able to do it for a living! It is most definitely a dream come true! ?

Omg Kristy is amazing!!! I had her watch my dog over a weekend and visit my cat, and her communication is always on point and very thorough. She made this nervous pet mom very comfortable and took fantastic care of my dog and cat! I would highly recommend her!

Kristy is very responsive, kind and I am glad I found her for my puppy! He always has so much fun and comes home so tired.

Information Kristy K. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting for a dog, I like to know what their personality is like. Also, any issues or special needs they may have. (ie: Do they have any fears? Are they on a strict diet? Any activities that should be avoided? Do they prefer women over men? - Basically any and all information that will allow me to give them the best care possible!

A typical day

My backyard has become a doggie paradise, so to speak. I have 2 baskets of just outdoor toys for them and also have a doggie pool, for the pups that enjoy water play. They can sit on my patio chairs either with me or next to me and I have big chair cushions on the ground, for those that prefer to lay on something soft instead of the patio or the grass. I live in "downtown West Allis" so we can go on walks amidst all the activity on Greenfield Ave, for those that enjoy more excitement on their walks. For those that prefer quiet walks, we will walk around the quiet neighborhood to avoid the hustle and bustle of the "downtown" area. Inside I have 3 toy boxes of doggie toys & an entire "dog room" dedicated to all things canine (blankets, beds, crates, potty pads, etc - & even a TV just for them!)
