Experienced dog and cat care
Pet care experience
I have been so grateful to join Rover and do something I love to do. Helping others and caring for animals. I've had and helped take care of dogs, cats, and many different types of animals since I was a child. I've always had a deep love and compassion for animals, and caring for them makes me genuinely happy. I treat any animal I care for like they are my own, so you can trust that they will be in good hands with me. I have also cared for family and friends pets as well. Since I am a stay at home mother, I have been relied on to let their dogs out and give them the exercise they need. I care a lot about a dog getting out and releasing their energy so they can go back home happy and ready for a nap until you come home! I spend as much time as they need to play and or walk. I am not a professional trainer, but I have experience in training our dog that is a rescue who had a lot of anxiety when we rescued him. He still has some anxiety, but with lots of time and patience he has come a long way. I have also cared for sick animals before, and have no problem administering medication if need be. I have a four year old son named Jackson that I take along with me during the morning and afternoon visits. He adores all animals, and is not afraid of them jumping or giving him kisses. He’s been around dogs of all sizes. He is also used to living with a dog, cats, and two birds. He is very gentle with them all. He would give your pet extra attention and play time, especially since I think he has as much energy as one! It makes me happy any time I can get out with him and go for walks. I see it as more exercise for me, great for him to get out and about, and is a chance to meet new dogs or cats! On the weekend my two other children (Ava- 10, Noah- 13) would love to play with your dogs or cats as well! You will get lots of pictures of your furry friends from me. I know what it’s like to leave my animals and wanting to know that they are in good hands and happy while I am away. I am also happy to bring your mail in, garbage/recycle cans, and water any plants or flowers you may have. I am currently working part time at home, and I work my own hours, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your dog or cat! I am available from 9am-7pm, but if you need me afterwards I am flexible.
Reviews
Thank you so much for taking care of my babies over the holidays and doing an excellent job as always! 🙌🏼
Kristina was so good to Goose again! It was so nice having her watch him again, and based on the great pictures she sent, he seemed to be loving it as well! We’ll definitely look to book Kristina again when we need a sitter again!
This is our second time using Kristina to visit our cat and she did a great job again.
This was my second time with Kristina! Super open communication and always takes pictures and sends a cute little update after each visit. Highly recommend!

I feed my pets, bathe them, give them fresh water daily, change cat liter daily, clip their nails, keep a clean environment for them. I would do the same for any of my clients.
Information Kristina M. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences. Before I start to sit a dog I would like to know the following- What are their daily routines like? Eating, going out, etc. Do they have any type of aggression? Anything that may trigger them. Do they like children? I will have a toddler with me so I have to make sure they and you are comfortable with that. What are their favorite places to go? Any allergies? Any fears or quirks I should be aware of? Do they have a favorite toy and or treat they would enjoy playing with or having while I am with them? Do they need any type of training? What can I do to make your dog most comfortable and happy while you are away and when I leave them? And just anything else you feel may be important for me to know about your pet.
A typical day
I will take your dog wherever you feel they love to go most! Be that a park, a walk around the neighborhood, for a drive if they enjoy going for rides, a snuggle on the couch, to a dog park, or just to play in your backyard if you have one. If your dog enjoys tug of war I always love to play that with them, or fetch with a favorite toy of theirs.

Availability
I am a stay at home mom, so I am quite flexible! During the day I have to bring my four year old until he starts school, but after 4:00 I can leave him with his father.
