Just call me the pet whisperer! 🐶

Pet care experience

I’ve owned all types of pets my whole life and used to dog sit for my neighbors growing up. I am gentle, friendly, and loving towards all animals. I will give your pet the love and attention they deserve! I raised and trained my golden doodle at home and he’s been a therapy dog to the sick elderly and sick children for 10 years until his passing. My other golden doodle was a rescue and suffers from major anxiety. With a lot of patience and discipline, I brought her anxiety levels down dramatically. Now she is so happy and loves everybody she meets. She even is on her best behavior when in public! Although I think she’s just posing :) I definitely have the compassion to care for any pet, and they can sense it too! The other piece of my heart is for cats! I also have owned kitties my whole life and I currently own a small black kitty named Jack, who was a rescue from Los Angeles. I can care for all types of cat personalities and am patient with understanding and adapting to the personality of your cat. I’ve almost mastered teaching my cat how to play fetch - want me to try with yours?

I’m so glad I found Kristy to take care of my kitties on a week long trip! She’s very experienced and had no issue following my instructions. She also wrote detailed notes and took lots of pics of the kitties to keep me updated after each visit. I was able to travel worry free and will definitely hire Kristy again!

Kristy was wonderful! My dog Basil seemed happy seeing her the next day for a two-day dog sitting situation. Kristy was flexible about pick up and drop off as well. I felt like Basil was in good hands. Would definitely book again!!

Kristy accepted our last-minute request to watch our kitty, Astro while juggling her own cat and a dog that weekend. She did a great job giving Astro his 3x daily food and multiple medicines. He had a medical issue that came up right before we dropped him off that required special care and unfortunately, had to wear his cone of shame, but she handled it all with ease. She also lives very close to us which made dropoff and pickup super easy. Thanks again, Kristy!

Kristy was an absolute life-saver when my dog became extremely anxious with another sitter and she was willing to step in to take care of him. She was calm, thoughtful, and my dog loved his stay with her. Thank you again, Kristy, for the help.

I will prioritize caring for your pet while I have them under my care and will treat your pet the way I would want mine treated. I do have a kitty at home, so if I had your pet over for boarding, I would just keep my cat in the opposite room of your pet.

Information Kristy W. would like to know about your pet

I would prefer to know their temperament so I know how to approach the dog. I love all dog breeds and have no preference there.

A typical day

I will take the doggies to the parks, walk around the Embarcadero, go to Crissy Field and the Marina Green, etc. Basically get as many steps in as possible and have fun playing with balls or toys. They’ll have themselves a super fun day and will be excited to see me the next time you book with me :)

I work at home full time, so it’ll be nice to have pet care to get myself out of the house for doggie walks or to have your pet to board at my home! My job is not very demanding and I’m easily able to prioritize caring for your pet before answering my emails! :)
