About Us
I was born an animal lover and despite my sister's extreme allergy to cats, insisted on having one of my own when I was very little.  Much to her dismay, my parents gave in and ever since then, there have always been animals in my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. 
 
Recently I spent some time in Mexico where I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time participating in some volunteer work with neighborhood dogs.  It was truly a wonderful and uplifting experience.  I look forward to doing that again.
 
I am a member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters.  I am licensed, bonded, insured and certified by the American Red Cross in Pet First Aid/CPR.  I have a lot of experience with all different types of animals and have references upon request.
 
I have two cats of my own, Sylvester and Winston, and I can't imagine my life without them.

Customer testimonials
 
Here is what some of our customers have to say about us:
 
"There are few people that I would entrust the welfare of my animals to. Kris Karrick is among those few. She treats them with the respect and love they deserve and her efficient and kind nature matches the superiority of her service." -- Melynn R.
 
"Hi, this is Reena. I'm a cat and my sister Pewter is a bunny. Kris takes care of us pretty often and we really like her. She always knows when its time for us to eat. I try to trick her into feeding us twice sometimes, but she is really smart and my trick never works. I am diabetic so I have to eat only at certain times, and I have to have insulin shots twice a day. Kris knows all about how to give me my shots so they don't hurt very much, and she knows about the most important parts of getting my shot: the pets and loves after its done and then food! (I really like to eat). I was going to write more nice things about our friend Kris, but Pewter wants to type now." -- Reena H.

"Hi, this is Pewter. I'm a bunny and my sister Reena is a cat. I love my sister and I like to do everything she does, so it's my turn to write some nice things about our friend Kris. Hey, where are you going Reena? Wait for me! We really like Kris. Sometimes she comes to our house, and sometimes we go to her house. I like going to her house! It is fun to explore there! She is so nice and she knows how to rub my nose exactly how I like! One time when I got sick the vet gave me some medicine. It was really yucky and I didn't like it at all, but Kris said it would make me better and she gave it to me every day. And she was right! I got all better! Ok I have to go find Reena now. But you should let Kris take care of you, you will really like her too!" -- Pewter H.

"Kris did a fantastic job of taking care of my dog when I was away for 2 months.  She was fed, groomed and obviously much happier than being left at the kennel I've used in the past.  My dog and I give Kris the highest recommendation." -- Matt S.

"Kris, just a quick thank you for watching Maggie over the holidays. We really appreciate your time and attention during a very hectic time of the year. Maggie seemed very happy and content and the house was clean and in order. You are truly a professional! Although we have just completed the relocation back to California we would be happy to recommend you should anyone ask for a reference. You are the best! Thanks again, Kevin, Joe and Maggie" -- Kevin B.
