Adding value to every animal’s life

Pet care experience

I’ve been a devoted animal lover from day one, born into a house full of pets and to parents who exposed my sister and I to the joy of animals at very young ages. Spending time with animals of all kinds has always felt natural to me, and without them I wouldn’t feel complete. Having dogs, cats, fish, birds and more as beloved pets throughout my life isn’t where I’ve drawn the line. I have many years of experience in the veterinary field and just as many in doggy day care and obedience environments (sometimes handling as many as 30+ dogs all at once!). I believe that our energetic state as humans is the most influential to a dog's behavior, their confidence and their overall experience among other dogs, people, and all kinds of external stimulation. I take pride in my ability to lead calmly and confidently, which helps greatly in creating clear communication, understanding, walking with more ease, and much more, all allowing the most benefit. I am really looking forward to meeting you and your dogs, and giving back to them the unbelievable love and happiness they give to us. Adding value to every animal’s life is so important to me.

I can't think of anyone better to trust with your furry friend than Kristy and her exceptional dog walking business. As an avid animal lover, her genuine passion shines through in every interaction with your pet. Communication is key, and Kristy keeps you informed and reassured every step of the way. And she takes the cutest photos of your pet on her walks! Your dog's tail wagging says it all—my puppy absolutely adores her! You won't find a more caring and dependable companion for your beloved pet than Kristy.

Kristy immediately clicked with our dog, Daisy. Daisy is a wild and energetic rescue pup, we weren’t sure if she’d by ok walking with someone outside our family. She had zero hesitation when Kristy took her out. Kristy’s heart for dogs is genuine and Daisy is so so grateful.

I unequivocally trust my fur babies with Kristy! She is the absolute best with animals, very responsible, compassionate and so in tune to my pets needs. I highly recommend and completely trust Kristy with any and all pets.

I have known Kristy and her love of animals since she was a young girl. She is a trusted and reliable friend who I’ll be relying upon regularly, because we’re about to become a two-dog family! Kristy is also a uniquely talented photographer, so if you want portraits with your pets, ask her about it! Your pets will love her and so will you.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I have pets of my own, as well as a young child, the care for animals in my house is currently limited. If your pet gets along with my two cats, dog and my child I am more than happy to watch them in my house. I have an enclosed “catio” as well as a fenced backyard. I have a park down the street from my house and I live in a quiet, safe court.

Information Kristy S. would like to know about your pet

Any preferences, behavioral issues, health conditions, limitations and more are all things I want to know about to ensure the best care and attention for your dog.

A typical day

A happy dog is a tired dog, so exercise that is tailored to the dog’s age and its needs will be a big part of my care for them. Play, socializing, cuddle time and peaceful rest is also important!
