Animal ❤️-ing grad student!
Pet care experience
I am a graduate student with a long history of dog and pet care experience- from animal shelter volunteering, to fostering and dog sitting. I live with my dog, Grace, who is very sweet and pretty indifferent to other dogs, so we’d love to have some extra pups join us for walks! I have experience with all sizes, ages and personalities of dogs from my past experiences, and I look forward to getting to know your pets!
Reviews
Very responsive and attentive to our needs. My senior dog is a little quirky and I felt very comfortable leaving him under their care.
Kristy and Patrick were the absolute best. They were accommodating and kind, took great care of Besa, and sent lots of photos!
Koko and I love Kristy and her family! Koko gets excited when I drop her off which me feel so much better about having to leave her. I am so thankful to have them to help me with Koko!
Our dog Mimi had such a lovely stay with Kristy. We changed our plans at the last minute, and Kristy was so nice and flexible - Mimi ended up staying the night. Kristy sent us updates throughout the day and even sent a picture before bed. Highly recommend Kristy - thank you!

Safety, trust & environment
I make sure we can meet in advance of any booking where our pets will interact. I am an experienced foster so I have been around pets of all personality types, in some cases including anxiety and trauma. If your dogs finds a crate to be a safe space, we ensure we can set one up and ease them into our routine and give them space for adjustment. If you’d dog adjusts easily and is ready to play and interact, so are we!
Information Kristy M. would like to know about your pet
How they are with: food, humans, kids, squirrels, cats and other dogs. How and where they sleep and eat. What they do for exercise and for fun (dog parks, toys?). Who their vet is and emergency contact.
A typical day
I love finding new trails wherever I am living or visiting. I love walking to Lincoln Park in Capitol Hill near our home. We have parks near our home that we love to visit if your dog enjoys dog parks.
