Pet care experience

Your Furry Godmother

I've read that dogs have masters and cats have staff, but I am here to provide doting staff member services to both cats and dogs, and any other critters you may have in your house. I've worked in the animal rescue world for many years, and I assure you that there is no dog too big and barky or cat too hissy to dissuade me. I'm happy to provide references and answer any questions. I want you to be able to enjoy a vacation or take care of life's demands without worrying about your best buddy (or multiple buddies!) back home. I am happy to send pictures daily while you're away and provide extra care for those with special needs. Thank you for considering me for your fur-baby care!

We used Kristy for a last minute drop-in visit for our 10 week old puppy. Kristy was responsive to our inquiry and we arranged a meet and greet for the same day. We immediately felt at ease after meeting Kristy and both of our dogs loved her! Even though we were only gone a few hours, Kristy provided us with several updates and pictures to ease any concerns about being away from our puppy for the first time. She took great care of our dogs and our home during the drop-in visit.

Kristy is amazing with pets. I know she owns a few of her own too. She is so caring and loving with my kitty, she makes sure all her needs are met and plays with her a lot. I know Mia feels so safe, happy and loved around Kristy and we can't thank her enough.

I was so nervous to ask someone I don’t know to come take care of my dog while I was at work. Thankfully Kristy came to my home and we instantly clicked. Big bonus was that my dog, Cliff, had love at first sight with her. She has a nice calm voice that appeases to dogs. Cliff can’t wait for Kristy to come back!

Kristy is an amazing pet caregiver. She is constantly opening her home for cats and kittens that come into her yard and that her neighbors find to get them healthy and then helps them find forever homes. She is a foster mom for a local foster nonprofit and we have worked together to help our individual fosters grow and stay healthy. She’s also watched my pup, Violet who loves seeing Kristy as much as possible! Kristy is a responsible and very caring person and would be an amazing addition to Rover.com.

I literally cannot think of a better person to care for someone’s pets. She is a kind, compassionate soul with a deep love for animals of all kind. She has rescued and fostered many cats over the years, often putting their needs above her own. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone for their pet sitting needs!
