Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced and Responsible!
I was a professional petsitter for many years before pursuing a career as a biologist. Now I have a few different biology degrees, but I've missed working with companion animals. I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule, and pet sit on the side. My ultimate goal is to help pets and their parents feel at ease while apart. I have extensive experience in companion animal jobs, including working at a veterinary clinic, a humane society, and a dog wash. I’m also a volunteer foster parent for the Oregon Humane Society, and have several of my own pets. I can administer medication, shots, and subcutaneous fluids. The majority of my previous charges were small companion animals such as dogs and cats, but I have also worked with larger farm animals, including horses, goats, and chickens. I am happy to take care of any species or breed! My house-sitting services also include bringing in mail and watering plants.

Safety, trust & environment
I am always aware of pets behavior and surroundings to ensure they can't escape or encounter harm in their environment. It is important to me to treat both my client's pets as if they were my own, as well as respect other people's homes.
Ratings and reviews
Kristy is wonderful! We've used her for in-home pop-in's as well as for walks. She is very detail-oriented, friendly, and a great communicator. Highly recommend!
She even turned on the water while she was here so our plants wouldn't die while we were gone!
Dogs came home happy.
Kristy was fantastic! Buddy was well cared for and Kristy and very communicative. Thanks again!
Kristy did a wonderful job stopping by to care for our pup Ruby while we were out for a long evening. She has an exquisite attention to detail and sent thoughtful updates and pics. 100% recommend, and will be reaching out to her again for future sits!
Highly recommend Kristy! Booked for drop-in with less than a weeks notice & Kristy replied promptly and cheerfully. Professional, very kind, trustworthy and my pup absolutely adored her. He looked so happy in all her sweet photos. Was our first time with Kristy and we’re looking forward soon to our next booking!

Schedule
My WFH schedule is very flexible, with occasional meetings to work around, so I can do drop-ins and walks within time ranges that suit your pet's needs.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsKristy can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- First and foremost, I need to know about your dog’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty break schedule, medication administration, and regular exercise activity. Maintaining their routine as much as possible will help relieve the stress of the owner’s absence, and ensure that I am prepared to deliver the level of care your dog needs. It is also helpful to have information about their personality. For example: how do they interact with people or other animals in public? How do they normally communicate their emotional state and needs? I love all kinds of dogs, and have neither preferences nor breed prejudices. I've worked with such a wide variety of dogs, and I know how they all have unique personalities. I also have the experience and patience to work with dogs that are shy around strangers or stressed by unfamiliar situations.
- These prices are for 1 dog.
