About Kristel
Caring for animals has been an important part of my life since childhood, giving me extensive hands-on experience with dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I began at age six by raising a standard medium poodle named Poochie from three months old, followed by a Chow Chow named Summer—a breed known for its independence and strong personality. These early experiences taught me how to adjust my handling, training, and routines to meet each dog’s unique needs.
Currently, I care for my medium-sized Cockapoo, Milo, maintaining structured daily routines that focus on exercise, mental stimulation, comfort, and consistency. Over the years, I have gained experience with:
-
Puppies – providing patience, socialization, and gentle guidance during critical early stages of development.
-
Adult dogs – ensuring balanced exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent reinforcement of commands and routines.
I provide dog walking and house visits tailored to each pet’s needs. For dog walking, I take no more than one puppy or dog at a time to ensure safety and full attention. Walks include secure leash handling, controlled pacing, hydration breaks, and positive reinforcement. During house visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, basic cleaning of pet areas, and overall wellness checks, including monitoring appetite, behavior, mobility, and mood to spot any changes early.
My training and handling experience, though informal, is extensive and includes leash manners, basic commands, calm behavior reinforcement, and support for dogs with mild anxiety, high energy levels, or specific routines. I always follow owner instructions for any special care needs.
Safety is my highest priority. I carefully follow all owner instructions, secure doors and gates, avoid hazards, and stay calm and responsive in unexpected situations. I am knowledgeable about emergency protocols, including first aid basics, contacting veterinarians, and safely managing behavioral emergencies. I only accept vaccinated dogs to ensure the safety of all pets in my care.
What sets my service apart is my one-on-one approach, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to each pet’s well-being. I maintain clear, consistent communication with owners, providing updates that may include photos, descriptions of walks or play sessions, behavioral observations, and any changes in health or mood. This allows owners to feel confident and reassured that their pets are receiving attentive, loving care.
