Pet care experience
I have had a variety of pets for as long as I can remeber. I've always had a deep love for dogs and have always felt a connection with every dog I've met. I'm comfortable with small, medium, large and giant breeds. I'm capable of administering medications orally as well as injections. I have four of my own, a 9.5 year old rescue great dane, a 8.5 year old deaf and visually impaired rescue Dane, a 5 year old Great Dane and a 15 month old Great Dane. One could say, I like Giant dogs. I also work as a volunteer and foster with Upper Midwest Great Dane Rescue and prior to moving to the area I fostered for a Fargo rescue for years. I have been doing pet sitting and walking for a few years. Prior to this I have also volunteered at a local animal shelter and I have been working as a Veterinary Assistant for the last 5 years.
Reviews
Kryssy is a wonderful pet sitter. As an experienced veterinary tech and pet owner herself, she provides top notch care! She treats other peoples’ pets as if they were her own. My cats are my babies and I know that they are in good hands with Kryssy checking in when we are away. She has watched my cats multiple times and I highly recommend her!
Kryssy is just the best! Anytime she's been able to watch/walk our dog, Chewy, we knew he would be in the very best of hands! Kryssy's pictures of Chewy to update us on how great he's doing while we travel help are wonderful, and we always get home from trips to find a happy, well taken care of, pup. I can't say enough great things about Kryssy!
Kryssy has done an exceptional job with my two cats and two guinea pigs. She's administered medication to them appropriately, checked in when I've asked, and she's been super flexible with my at times inconsistent scheduling. Kryssy is my go to caretaker for my animals, I can depend on her always to give them the best care possible 💜
I cannot speak highly enough of Kryssy, the sitter who took care of my stubborn Great Dane. She did an absolutely incredible job and exceeded all my expectations. From their friendly and warm approach to their exceptional handling of my dog's stubborn behavior, this sitter truly went above and beyond. Their attention to detail, creativity, and resourcefulness in managing my Great Dane's needs was outstanding. They kept me updated throughout the entire stay, providing me with peace of mind. If you're in search of a dog sitter who is not only reliable but also incredibly competent and caring, I wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional individual.

I will make sure to follow any instructions provided to make sure the visits go smoothly. I also care for everyone’s pets as if they were my own pets because I know how hard it can be to leave them with someone else.
Information Kryssy M. would like to know about your pet
I like to know their temperament, habits, behaviors and routine. I like to know if they are a run away risk or if they stay close, what is their training/obedience level, how do they do around other dogs, people, ect. Are they leash reactive, do they pull, do they try and slip out of their collars. I don't have any breed preferences as I love all dogs. I have had all sizes of dogs, although currently my "smallest" is 58 lbs.
A typical day
I like to walk dogs near their homes where they are comfortable. I have bought dogs to the dog parks if they are comfortable and well behaved in that setting. I enjoy playing fetch and Frisbee with dogs as well. I run in my free time, if your dog needs a little extra exercise I could run them vs walk. I also like to bring dogs near areas with all sorts of scents they can smell, as mental stimulation is often more tiring than physical exercise.

Availability
Prior to moving to the area I worked 3 days a week and the rest was designated for pet sitting. We own a business now so my schedule has changed a bit and I primarily have evenings and weekends available.
