Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s vacation!
I grew up on a working farm with working dogs and have had dogs my entire life. I currently love and manage my own pack of dogs in my home. 1 Great Pyrenees, 1 Pyrador, 2 Komonees, and our newest addition 2 GP pups who are currently undergoing their scheduled vaccines. They are my world! We love dogs of all shapes and sizes and have hosted pups from 6-130 pounds. I’m experienced triaging in an emergency vet clinic, and can perform basic first aid, medication administration, post-op care, and more! In the past, I co-owned my own reptile and exotic LLC for 5 years, KC Cresties (dissolved due to divorce). So I’m comfortable and experienced caring for your scaly friends, sugar gliders, chinchillas, ferrets, prairie dogs, opossums, or whatever other cool friend(s) you have. Large snakes, monitors, and Iguanas are ok! My family successfully rehabbed 2 baby raccoons that lost their mom and returned them to the wild when it was time. The day they left and never came home was filled with joy and sadness that we were very fortunate to be a part of. We have 2 cats in the house who are friendly with both other cats and dogs. I keep a sturdy metal baby gate up for their space away from the dogs so they have a sanctuary. There’s very few animals I don’t have experience with, and I love them all. Big dogs and working dogs are no problem. Trouble with leash pulling? No problem. Got a hyper jumper? It’s ok, I’ve got a solid foundation. Puppies? Please! We love puppies. I have old laminate flooring and we go outside every 2-3 hours. Lastly, you can count me as a former HR professional surrounding school aged children based organizations. I left HR to pursue a career with animals. They have always been my passion. Why choose me? It’s about the experience your beloved family member will have while you’re away. Lots of cuddles and snuggles. Scratchies behind the ears and belly rubs. Plenty of play time with other doggies. Special homemade treats. Daily photo updates. Did someone say treats?

Ratings and reviews
Kristy did a great job communicating with me and I loved the pictures she shared. My dog seemed pretty content throughout his stay and was a happy boy when I picked him up!
Our dog loved her time with Kristy!
Amazing communication, on time, and went above and beyond for my dog. Highly recommend!
Went above and beyond for me and my pet!
Took excellent care of our animals. Kristy sent tons of pictures. We were at ease with her staying at our house.
Best Dog Sitter we have ever had. Won’t use anyone except her. My dogs look forward to going to her place to stay and play. My dogs are very well taken care of and Kristy is extremely knowledgeable.

Schedule
All my current classes are online so I’m able to accommodate most schedules for pick up and drop off. Even for red eye flights and early morning daycare.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’ll treat your pets with the same love and respect I treat my own. Pets are a big part of our lives and they are our family. In my home: Feeding time is approximately 8am and 6pm (unless otherwise requested). We add scrambled eggs to our morning feeding and homemade dog food to our dinner. Homemade food is AAFCO approved recipes. Every dog has their own food dish and 3 giant water bowls are available from 6am to 8pm. Water is picked up overnight for housebreaking purposes. Treat circles are 2-3 times per day. We work on basics. Sit, lay, paw, etc. Level 2 commands are practiced once per day for those who have mastered level 1. I have a well stocked variety of treats, so your pups dietary preferences can be honored. Our dogs and cats are all current on vaccinations and take heart-worm and flea preventive through our vet’s office. Records can be provided upon request. Cat sitting can be provided on the other half of the house divided by a sturdy metal baby gate. Cats will be provided with toys and separate meal dishes according to your feeding instructions. Litter will be scooped daily. Small animals and Exotic care: for most exotics leaving the home is very stressful and recommended care is in your home. However there are exceptions to this rule. We can discuss your unique needs and what is most appropriate for your pets health and well being. Some animals in small habitats don’t mind staying somewhere new as long as they’re safe in their world. Transportable habitats are welcome.

A typical day
We go to Sniff Spots in the country once per week, weather permitting. Sometimes we go on long walks. Some days we set up a baby pool in the yard. Somedays we have pup cups and cuddle inside all day. A lot depends on the weather and what day of the week it is. I always have a huge selection of toys to choose from! Some are durable, some we buy just to shred.
