I work from home and my hours are flexible. I walk my fur baby three miles every day. If you prefer I walk your dog separately I am perfectly happy to do so. But if socialization is one of your goals, I can make it a group outing.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to care for your pets in their own environment. It can be stressful enough that their parents are gone and it adds more stress when we remove them from their forever homes at the same time. At my home we spend much of our daily play time outdoors playing frisbee and swimming. I have a pool and Buster loves to swim. In the evenings when it cools down we venture out for walks (sometimes jog) for 3+ miles every day. It keeps us both feeling young.

Information Kristy S. would like to know about your pet

Health issues-any special medical needs (med administration, special exercises, or locomotion restrictions, etc. Any dietary restrictions or favorites. Reactive behaviors towards people, animals or things in particular. Favorite place to rest. How often do they need a break outside, and of course a list of their favorite foods, treats, and activities.

A typical day

Keeping your pet happy and healthy is my priority. Every animal is different and requires different forms of stimuli. If your pet loves to walk or hike and they are healthy enough to do so, then that is what I am there for. If they are older and need a gentler, low impact activity I will adjust their activities. But brain games, exercise specific to your pets needs, play time and rest when needed is all in a days work. :)

Walk And Wag Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’ve frequently been called “the dog whisperer.” I have over 52 years of pet care experience. Dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, and rats! I currently have a Therapy dog (Buster). Animals are natures way of putting a smile on our faces and a calmness in our hearts. We should offer them the same kind of love in return. ❤️

You can’t go wrong having Kristy care for your pets. You can go away with peace of mind knowing your beloved pets are in great hands. Kristy has experience caring for a wide variety of animals and she does so with kindness and compassion. We don’t trust anyone else to care for our fur babies!

Kristy is an extremely compassionate animal caregiver. Not only is she compassionate but she also has a lot of knowledge when it comes to caring for animals. She does a really good job with making sure animals are not only caring for them but she really loves hiking and walking with her dog.

Kristy is a doting dog lover who puts the attention and love into animals that the best human nanny would for their charges. She spends time learning training methods, allowing animals to have their freedoms, and always has a variety of activities to entertain a furry friends little brain and work out their energy.
