Five star service is what to expect when booking and receiving pet sitting services from Kristi. Kristi met with me and my wife and had a meet and greet with our 2 cats and dog. She was attentive and inquisitive about our pets and their needs. Soonafter, we booked a 4 night trip and had Kristi walk, feed, add fresh water & clean the litter box and replace the pee pads as necessary. She rose to the challenge by arriving promptly every day, walking our dog 2x a day, feeding our pets as well as giving cuddle time each day to our fur babies. All of this was photographed and videoed to us each day which gave myself and my wife peace of mind and reassurance that we hired the right person for the job!! We highly recommmend Kristi to anyone who wants reliable, friendly and attentive service for their pets.

We were very happy with our experience with Kristi's Pet Care. She was flexible, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We received pictures and videos each day. This was the first time we have used a pet sitter and couldn't be happier with the service. Our Dobbie Aryis seemed to be having a good time while we were away. We recommend and plan to use her again in the future.

Kristi and Don watched our dogs, Athena and Zeus, for a week and did a great job. They were reliable, caring, and kept us updated throughout the stay. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in great hands.

I can not say enough positive things about our experience working with Kristi. We have 2 golden retriever's who stayed 4 nights and this was our first time being away from our dogs this long. If you have goldens then you know how emotional they are. Kristi took the time and patience to make them feel so comfortable. Had a room ready to go for them, fans going, toys, and Christmas music to soothe them. She had them on a great routine, they played in her yard, layed on her lap on her couch, and they were treated like royalty as if they were her own dogs. We got numerous pictures and videos a day from Kristi keeping us informed of how they were. We just loved the overall experience working with her and our dogs were so happy being there. I could tell immediately from my dogs demeanor when we picked them up that they were well cared for, felt safe, and got all the love and attention they needed. There was a lot of wagging tails. As a dog owner, you want to feel like you can step away and take a trip, but it is hard when you have such a close bond with your animals. I am SO grateful to have met Kristi and I am grateful to have a safe place for my pups to go when I do step away and take a trip. You will not regret for a second leaving your fur babies with her. I give her the highest amount of stars I can give to her and her business.
Details: 2 pets • Dog • 8 - 14 days

I wish Thumbtack let me pick all categories. Kristi deserves every 5/5 star they allow. There isn’t a better dog sitter out there. We absolutely love and trust her more than anyone. Our pups can’t wait to go back.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have low rates and lots of time and attention to give your furbabies. Pets are my passion and animals have always gravitated to me. My pets are my family and yours will be too. They will get lots of love and attention! ❤️🐶🐱🐾
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After contact via phone I like to set up a meet and greet at my house. This way they see where their furbaby will be spending time and can play with toys and we can get to know each other and make a connection with both pet and owner. If it goes well please book me! You and your baby will not be disappointed!! Lots of love and cuddles here!! ♥️🐶🐱🐾
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taken care of many pets throughout my life for friends, coworkers, and family. I am older now and a housewife (no kids) and have lots oflove and time to give and my passion is taking care of dogs and cats, so here I am! 😊
