Availability

I'm currently a teacher and a mom to a five year old. I am available throughout the day from June 17- August 18th. When school officially starts I will only be available week day evenings and weekends. I love to check on kitties and I enjoy the opportunity to be outside in walks through the summer. BOARDING: I am accepting boarding clients. Please note: we do have a son age 5 so all animals must be friendly with kids. My husband works from home so he will be home with the animals during the day and can handle walks as well.

I love to go on walks! We will stop and smell all the smells and get lots of exercise. For kitties, I'll engage in play as much as they want or just offer a calm presence if that's what they want.

Pet care experience

I have had cats most of my life, although currently we are taking a break between pets, after the passing of our senior kitties. I also have helped take care of many dogs for various family members! My husband has owned cats and dogs as well for those who are interested in boarding with us, and works from home so he is able to help during working hours.

Krystene and her family did a great job with our dog. She sent pictures, and our dog settled in quickly and clearly enjoyed being there. We would definitely recommend and choose Krystene again!

Charlie was instantly comfortable with Krystene and her family! He was well cared for and seemed happy there. So glad to have found a loving family and a home away from home for Charlie. Will definitely be going back to Krystene for Charlie’s boarding. Thanks, Krystene!!

Krystene and her family are awesome! My dog Wilbur has stayed with them twice now and we had a great experience both times. Wilbur can have a lot of separation anxiety, so it was amazing to see how comfortable he was with Krystene even after staying with her only once. Would definitely recommend Krystene!
