Welcome to Kristi's PAWfection. I/We do group on and off leash dog pack walks! We also do individuals for those needing one on one attention. We house sit and do drop Ins when you are away or even too busy. We completely understand the needs for your fur babies, we treat your babies as our own! We can discuss further about package deals or other deals I offer! Now, I have been working as a pet caregiver since December of 2023 and truly found joy and love in everyday living as a dog walker/sitter! I am truly passionate about taking care of pets! We don't just do dogs & cats. We have done bunnies, all types of birds including ducks & chickens! We can experience whatever caged animal you may also have. I have worked a lot with basic command dogs, misbehaved, and super reactive! I want to also inform that I love taking pictures of animals, I'd be sending a daily picture with an update unless requested not to. My boyfriend and I do this together (when he isn't working at his seasonal job or side job, etc) but we also understand some pets (and owners) may not feel comfortable having a man around but I make sure to ask first! Otherwise he will not come. I have a little dog too, if yours wants a play date and doesn't mind my dog tagging along, great! If not totally no worries on that too. Our future goal is dog boarding and doggy daycare. We also can board cats! Thank you so much! Contact today🦮🐕‍🦺🐈‍⬛🐈🐩See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What is house sitting?

A house sitter watches your house while you are away for work or vacation, or if you have to be away for an extended period. House sitters can also provide pet-sitting services, staying in your home and caring for your pet while you are away. The house sitter can say overnight in your home while you’re gone, or stop by once a day to ensure everything is in order if your pet doesn’t need overnight supervision. Reptiles and most cats are just fine with daily visits and feeding.

House sitting provides major advantages to the homeowner. A regular presence in your house deters break-ins and theft. Home safety issues such as water leaks get noticed and dealt with right away, so you don’t come home to big problems. A house sitter can bring in your mail daily, care for your houseplants, and provide home safety and peace of mind.

How do I find a reliable house sitter?

House sitting can help keep your home safe and well cared for so you can be worry-free while you’re away for work or play. There are several steps you can take to make sure you hire a trustworthy house sitter and do your part to be a responsible host. One of the best ways to ensure a safe home is to hire a professional house sitter. Here are some key points to look for when hiring a house sitter:

  • Reviews and referrals: When searching for a house sitter, always read reviews. Previous experiences will indicate how the house sitter will care for your home while you’re away.
  • Contract: Sign a clearly written contract outlining services to be provided (e.g., mail in each day by 5 p.m.), the daily rate you are paying, and how long the services will be provided. You can also include any agreed-upon house rules in the written contract.
  • Your part: Leave important phone numbers (vet, emergency contact, etc.) and information on where to find emergency items like the circuit breaker and the fire extinguisher, and have a credit card on file with the veterinarian in case of emergencies if the house sitter is watching your pets.
