Animals are better than humans

Pet care experience

I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old (as well as a couple hamsters and a guinea pig) and I currently have two cats as an adult. My friends frequently reach out to me specifically to watch their pets (cats and dogs) and I’ve pet sat in their home overnight as well as day visits around my work schedule. I’m pretty flexible and just happy to spend some time with your fur babies! I have experience in dog walking, house sitting, medication giving, and picture taking!

Kristy was a simply phenomenal sitter who took care of my house and my baby with the respect she would have if they were her own. She was communicative and made comments that showed that she not only read the (very long) notes I gave her, but she truly understood my dog. I would be lucky to get on her schedule again!

Kristy was absolutely amazing with our critters. No one has ever dogsitted our two 11-year-old pups before, since they've always stayed with family, and I was very concerned about how my one, extremely anxious dog would handle being left alone for a week with a stranger. She's been known to cower, hide, and nip, but quickly came around to Kristy. Kristy was so patient with her, and all our pets, and took great care of our home while we were gone. I received tons of updates and pictures that really helped put me at ease, and the communication and punctuality was amazing every step of the way. It's difficult to know who to trust with your pets, and I'm so glad I could find someone who treated them so wonderfully and made them feel comfortable while we were away.

One of my cats is older and quite a bit of work. Kristy stepped up and accommodated him, going the extra mile. She left our house neat and clean!

Safety, trust & environment

My cats are spoiled because I know our pets only deserve the best attention, pets, and rubs. I never really get mad at animals and often build positive relationships with them.

Information Kristy R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog is reactive, has a tendency towards distrust of others, has any triggers, or just anything that could pose a safety or medical risk.

A typical day

I work 8:30-5 and some nights but I love taking breaks from working and spending time with my pets or any animals I’m pet sitting. I love taking dogs on walks, spending time outside, or snuggling with a cat!
