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! 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. A brand new sand dig pit! Special homemade treats. Daily photo updates. Did someone say treats?

Honey had a great time with Kristy and her family! She will be back❤️
Kristy is always so kind and accommodating and it is obvious Rowan loves going to stay with her!
Amazing with my pups! They loved their stay and we can’t wait to book again!
Kristy was so perfect! She took care of my little Sadie cat and was very communicative about the house drop ins. She is also very caring and passionate about looking after animals, would 100% recommend her!!
Kristy is awesome! Jet absolutely loves her and she makes sure my guy is well loved. This was Jet's first week home alone and she helped make the transition less intense. She took him for walks and snuggled him in the backyard when it was too hot out for a walk. I am so thankful for Kristy and her help!
Excellent communicator, and the pup seemed to have a great time. Will be returning if needed

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 and dig in the sand pit. 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.

- Let me know if your pet has any food allergies or a special diet because treats are a BIG deal in this house. We keep fruitables, salmon treats, milkbones, & more on hand at all times. I try to keep your pet as comfortable as possible so please let me know where they like to sleep. Dogs are allowed in beds and on the sofa, unless you request differently. We also have dog beds, everywhere! I have 2 XL crates with a plush beds I keep open for a safe place. My pups really seem to like it. I want your baby to be as comfy as possible while you’re away to reduce their anxiety as much as possible.
