Pet care experience

Working mom and dog lover 🐾

Hiya 👋 I am Kristyn and I love all things dogs! I currently have 2 of my own, Puck a 90lb hound mix and Hattie a 30lb pocket pittie who I love dearly. I spent a good chunk of my time volunteering at a local animal shelter in NY when I lived there and so I am well versed with working with all different dog personalities. I wound up adopting 2 from there, who have since passed, and had to work with them both on both stranger and dog issues. At my time at the shelter I did participate in dog training programs to help dogs get adopted and have used that within my own dog ownership with my own dogs. I went through the growing pains with my older boys so I am comfortable with seniors and have had plenty of time with puppies that I am also comfortable with them! When I first moved to NC I worked at an vet for about a year and a half as a kennel tech and vet assistant/helper. I was tasked with administering all meds to boarders and am more than comfortable doing so should your pup need!!

Safety, trust & environment

I am available for in your home boarding/dog sitting as well as dog walking as needed. I prefer to keep your furbabies as much on your schedule as possible so a meet and greet is best to determine the best plan of action while out of town. Plenty of outside time or just relaxing inside as needed and time out of the crate if necessary! At this time I am still not offering in my home care but who knows it could be something I am able to do in the future!

Kristyn is awesome. Very communicative and flexible! She made sure that my dog was comfortable the whole time and sent lots of pictures.

Kristyn was exactly what we needed this weekend. She took excellent care of Coconut and Papaya and seemed to really spend time playing with them and learning their personalities. She is very communicative and punctual. I can’t think of anything I would suggest she should have done differently. 10/10. She sent me more pictures of my smiling dogs than even I’ve taken in the last several months 😆 they were in great hands. Thank you!!

Kristyn is great at keeping in touch with us about anything she thinks we need to know about our boys to make sure they get the best care while we're gone. I know their safe and happy with her.

I highly recommend Kristyn for pet sitting any fur baby! She is fun, energetic, dependable, and truly has a natural love for animals. Pets are instantly comfortable around her, and she treats every animal like her own with lots of attention, care, and affection. Anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets would be lucky to have her!

Where should I start! Kristyn is such a great person. The care that she shows my dog “Buster” is incredible!! She treats him like her own. He gets so excited when he see her. Since day one it’s been nothing but 100% professionalism from Kristyn. Buster is a very shy dog and doesn’t like meeting new people, but letting Kristyn know that ahead of time, she greeted him with comfort and ease, and it’s like they’ve been best friends ever since. I highly recommend Kristyn to anyone that is looking for a great sitter, caretaker, and a pet’s best friend.

Schedule

At the moment I work from home 3-4 days a week, but on the days I am in office I work right here in Fuquay :) My son is currently in school 5 days a week and my daughter is in daycare 2 days a week to which I am their school bus, so twice a day I have to take care of that. Otherwise I am more than able for drop-ins and walks between 9am and 3pm, but please feel free to reach out if you need a time outside of that range and I will do what I can to make it work :)

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kristyn can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I prefer to do a meet and greet prior to setting up a schedule just to make sure your dog is comfortable with me and no issues there. Depending on when you are needing services, there is a good chance I will have at least one if not both of my children with me, so would want to ensure they are comfortable of kiddos! Please let me know if your dog needs anything specific or has any leash reactiveness to other dogs or people so that I can be mindful when out and about. Should they need any meds or have any allergies that would also be great to know!
