Kristy's K-9 services

Pet care experience

Through my experience as a previous pet parent to 3 large breed dogs, a Rover host, current volunteer at Toronto Humane Society and previous work experience I utilize positive reinforcement techniques that allow me to manage a variety of behaviours in different situations.

Kristy was so great! Super responsive and Rosie took to her immediately. She made sure to do a meet and greet beforehand which was much appreciated and made me feel at ease. Very relaxed and conscientious which was so reassuring - will definitely book again!

Our puppy had a wonderful 7 night stay with Kristy. He came home well behaved, happy and exhausted from having such an exciting time playing. Kristy's calm and confident manner can handle any kind of dog and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. We will definitely request her again the next time we go away! Thank you Kristy!

Saved our trip and the dogs loved her Recently, we hired Kristy to sit our two dogs Chili Pepper and George and we cannot say enough about how she cared for the dogs and kept us informed of their stay with daily texts and pictures. Kristy truly cares about the dogs she looks after and their owners too. In fact, when we discovered on the day before a trip that one of the dogs might have kennel cough, and were in a panic that my wife was not going to be able to go on the trip, Kristy came to the rescue. We informed her that George might have kennel cough and asked if she would be able to still accommodate us. She could not have been more professional. Because she could separate our dogs from any others she was sitting she thought she would be able to and wanted to confirm with the owners of her other guests if they were ok with it, which we felt was more than fair. Once she had confirmed, we were able to board our pets and enjoy our trip, knowing they were in good hands. Turns out after all that George did NOT have kennel cough! Most of all, the time spent with Kristy helped our dogs grow. Chili who had always been hesitant to go for walks in the neighborhood now could not be held back, and joins us and George for a nightly hour-long walk. George has even stopped pulling on his walks. CM2 and thanks for looking after us, Chili and George

Kristy was wonderful with Beluga. I could tell right away that he liked her and felt comfortable. I would definitely have Beluga stay there again.

PLS BE ADVISED I am self employed and my work hours are appointment based meaning your dog must be ok being unsupervised if I need to go to my clinic for a few hours up to 8 (including commute) for a fully booked day. If your pet is a puppy or has separation anxiety and requires constant supervision this likely won't be a good fit.
