About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a child, so understanding their needs and personalities comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is my genuine love and patience — I take the time to connect with each pet and make them feel safe and loved. I’m very attentive, gentle, and great at reading their behavior, which helps me respond calmly and kindly to different situations. I’m also experienced with both playful puppies and senior pets who need a little extra care. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, giving medication, or simply providing cuddles and companionship, I’m here to make your pet feel at home even when you’re away 🐾💛 I’m currently studying for my Master’s degree, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I love including time with animals in my daily routine — whether it’s feeding, playing, or just keeping them company. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’m always happy to adjust my schedule to meet their needs 🐾💛 I’m happy to care for pets either in my home or in their own familiar space — whichever makes them feel most comfortable. At my place, they’ll have a calm, clean, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel safe. If I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll follow their routine closely and make sure they feel secure and well-loved while you're away. No matter the location, I treat every pet like family 🐾💖

About: I’ve retired from running a large cat rescue organization where I acquired an accumulation of 30+ years devoted to loving, caring and doting on literally thousands of cats and kittens. If regular medical care is needed I am able to give pills, insulin, and SubQ fluids. I have a comprehensive understanding of the feline spirit so frightened or grumpy cats do not discourage me from providing loving care. I’m happy to send daily updates and pictures of your cat to ensure that you know your baby is experiencing his or her own mini-vacation filled with baby talk and unparalleled spoiling. I’m retired and have full availability and flexibility to provide care according to your cat or dog’s schedule. Keeping your fur-kid on his or her routine is paramount to the care I provide. I understand the importance of ensuring your cat’s safety with the proper opening and closing of entrance doors so your baby does not run outside. Litterboxes will be scooped on each visit. Fresh water and clean food bowls are a “must do”. Happy to bring in newspapers from the driveway and mail to keep your home looking lived-in.

Kristin P.
“Kristin is honestly one of the sweetest, most caring, sensitive and loving individuals i have ever met. Not only is she responsible and punctual, she's also really amazing about communication during her sittings. I moved to niagara falls a few years ago and my long time pet sitter lives 3 hours away now, so it was very inconvenient with travel and commutes when I'd go on my work trips or vacations. I trust barely anyone with my pets as they do have health issues, problems with other pets etc. Finding Kristin was a god send for me and my babies. She has been nothing but amazing with them and I trust her whole heartedly with my pets and home. My older boy recently passed and she cried right along with me and has constantly checked in on me to make sure im doing okay. She has loved my animals as her own which is so touching and really shows her love for all animals. It shows this is more than just a job for her, its a passion. I am a rover sitter myself and she has even recently taken over some of my sittings for me, which has been great and all my clients absolutely adore her! You wont find a better person to take care of your babies! Kristin is one of a kind!”
