Dogs, cats - will watch them all!
Pet care experience
Hello! I am currently a grad student at Penn and have been the go-to person for dog sitting, walking, and the occasional photography shoot. Even my boss has me stay at his house for a month to care for his family dog while they're on vacation. I don't usually travel on major holidays so I'm around when most others may not be. Everyone who knows me can tell you how much I love to be around dogs! Just something about the way they look right at you, wagging their tails excitedly.... it just triggers a rush of oxytocin (the infamous love hormone). You know what I mean! I couldn’t have a dog growing up but I would take care of my cousin’s dog for 4-6 months at a time while he went on business trips. Between that and my current dog sitting jobs for friends, I've done a lot of walking, basic grooming, and most importantly, snuggling (dog-permitted). PS- I am starting a "Dogs of Philly" photoblog... please let me know if you would be interested in participating!
Reviews
Kristy is friendly, reliable, and great with my cat, Scuba. I always know he's in good hands when Kristy is around!
Kristy is the best!! I am so lucky to have her close by -- She is so dependable and always gives me updates.
I am so happy that we found Kristy! She was so good with our dog when we We're away. She sent pics and kept us updated. I'll use Kristy next time we go away.
I can't say enough good things about Kristy. She was so caring and responsible. She sent tons of pictures. This was our first experience with a sitter and it couldn't have been better.

A typical day
Depending on the neighborhood, I'd love to walk your dog to the nearest park so we can enjoy each other's company over some coffee and a book. I also love taking the time to explore the cute neighborhoods scattered around Philly! If your dog is well socialized and enjoys the dog run by the Schyukill River, I can bring him/her there to enjoy a game of fetch.
