Information Kristy F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your dog's or cat's typical routine is like. I like to keep things as familiar for my clients as possible. This includes feeding times, favorite toys/games, as well as any friends (or enemies) to look out for on walks in the neighborhood.

A typical day

I like to stick to my client's normal routines as much as possible, especially on the first few visits. However, I am an adventurer at heart, so I do love branching out and exploring the neighborhood as much as possible on our walks. Please let me know if there are any places in particular that your dog likes to explore. When boarding dogs in my home, I like to use various treat puzzles and enrichment toys to keep them entertained. I also enjoy dog training, so your pet may come home having learned some new fun tricks!

Biology Teacher & Animal Lover

Cat care experience

I have always loved animals, I graduated college with a bachelor's degree in animal science, and I worked as a veterinary technician throughout my college years. I now work as a science teacher in a local high school, which gives me lots of flexibility during the summer months and holidays. I have had many pets throughout my life, both cats and dogs. My best boy Mojo crossed over the Rainbow Bridge in March of 2022. My heart is not quite ready to commit to having another pet, but that means I have lots of love to give your pets. I have been successful in bonding with the most skittish kitties, and I love getting to know their individual personalities. I treat my clients' pets as if they were my own, and I take great pride in providing excellent service. During the school year I am available on weekdays after 3 p.m. and on weekends. I have greater availability in the summer months and around the holidays.

Kristy was incredible with our little Mayo! 🐾 Mayo had a rough first night and had a hard time settling in - Kristy took amazing care of her and was so kind. The next day Mayo had completely relaxed and was in her normal routine, hanging out in all of her favorite places and poses - just like at home 💕 Kristy was very responsive, kind, and send some adorable photos and updates. She also set up multiple comfortable spots around her home for Mayo - above and beyond!! Thanks for taking such good care of our little tiger 🐯 It always makes travel easier when pet care is top !!!
