Description:

Hi! I love dogs and I live within a few blocks of Buena Vista Park, the Panhandle, and Golden Gate Park.

I've owned dogs most of my life (everything from Cocker Spaniels to Rotties) and I can't wait until I get my own pup in the city, but for now I get my doggy fix by puppysitting.

A typical stay at my place includes several walks, play time at the park, belly rubs, snuggles, and whatever your pup needs to feel at home. I know it's hard to leave your furry friend, even if it's just for a day, so I'll send you text/email photo updates as regularly as you'd like. :)

If needed, I could also bathe your dog and administer medication.

About Kristine H.:

Hi! There's nothing I love more than a waggy tail and I'll go the extra mile to make sure your dog is happy & comfortable while you're away.

While under my care, your dog will enjoy plenty of walks, play time at the park, belly rubs, and snuggles. I know it's hard to leave your furry friend, even if it's just for a day, so I'll send you text/email photo updates as regularly as you'd like. :)

How long have you been a dog lover? Tell us about your history with dogs.

As long as I can remember! There's nothing I love more than a wagging tail! Growing up, we always had dogs. Feeding, walking, and bathing the dogs were the only chores I would eagerly sign up for! :) My roommates and I would like to get a dog soon, but in the meantime we'll gladly give your pooch a loving home-away-from-home. :)

What would you like to know about a dog before sitting him or her? Do you have any breed preferences?

No breed preferences, all dogs are welcome! I'd like to know about the dog's personality, routine, and any special care needs.

Do you have reliable transportation in the event of an emergency?

Yes. I have a car and live close to several pet clinics.

Are you comfortable administering medication?

Yes, as long as you instruct me on what to do.

How much time do you plan on spending with my dog each day?

I work from home, so I'll be spending most of the day with your dog.

If you have a backyard, please describe it.

No backyard, but Buena Vista Park is a block away, the Panhandle is 2 blocks away, and Golden Gate Park is 5 blocks away.

Where will my dog sleep?

Your dog would sleep in the living room or in my room. If no crate is provided, I could set up a bed with comfy cushions or share my bed.

Where will you take my dog on walks? Tell me about it.

I'll take your dog on walks around my neighborhood and through Golden Gate Park, the Panhandle, and Buena Vista Park. If the weather is nice, I could also take your dog to Ocean Beach. :)

Daniel enjoyed his weekend with Kristine. It was his second visit with her. He got lots of belly rubs and came home a happy doggy.

5 she is fabulous and we always love having her!

Our dog Sam stayed with Kristine last weekend. It's the second time we've used her and it was just as great of an experience as last time. We'll continue using Kristine in the future!

Kristine watched our dog over the weekend and was absolutely wonderful! It was easy to see that Kristine really cares about animals and wants to make sure they have a great time while staying in her home. She also sent us multiple pictures of our dog throughout the weekend, which was a very nice touch. We'll definitely be contacting Kristine again for future stays!

Kristine was super warm and friendly and my dog absolutely loved her! My pup came back happy and healthy after a week's stay at Kristine's house. My dog can be somewhat high needs due to her allergies and some medicine, but Kristine handled it with ease and didn't bat an eye. She sent lots of great pictures throughout the dog sitting to keep me up to date on everything. She was also flexible with me on pick up/drop off times - which is a huge plus for me with my ever-changing work schedule! Highly recommended!! (Collapse)

AMAZING! From our initial meet and greet to her stay with our dog Elvis, Kristine was the definition of caring and professional. Her routine text messages and/or pictures while we were out of the country made us feel he was in great care. We couldn't have asked for a better person to stay with our dog. Our house was as clean as we had left it and she was kind enough to give Elvis a bath prior to our return. Elvis was so sad to see her go home. We will definitely be requesting her to stay with him again. Thanks so much Kristine you are amazing. (Collapse)

Kristine looked after my Bernese Mountain Dog for a second time and I know they had a wonderful time together. He remembered her when I dropped him off for a long weekend and I was happy to know they already had a great time together before. More fun stories when I picked him up. I will always go to Kristine when leaving SF!

My dog stayed with Kristine for 5 nights. He was really well taken care of, got tons of cuddles and walks. She even hand fed him (he has a nervous stomach and doesn't eat when away from home). I would leave Daniel with her again and again.

Kristine is amazing!!! She seems to have a natural connection with animals. She was very conscientious about my dog's needs, and about making them feel loved and welcome. I found her to be very responsible and felt confident leaving my babies with her knowing they were getting tons of affection and attention. I will definitely be asking her to dog sit in the future. Oh, and my dogs LOVED her!

Kristine and I live together with two other housemates, and it's an understatement to say we all love dogs. But Kristine knows how to deal with more than just doggie kisses and cuddles. Sure, a dog might pee or poo in the house. Sure, the dog may bark at a rumbley bus. She takes it all in stride and loves all the dogs she cares for like they are her own.
Ty W. October 29
Kristine loves dogs more than anyone I have ever met. She cares for them better than many folks care for their own children. She's very responsible, as well, always putting the needs of dogs she cares for above her own. If you want your dog to be loved while you're away, I would highly recommend contacting Kristine.

Kristine was wonderful with my big Bernese Mountain Dog! In the city, it can be hard to find someone that will accommodate large breed dogs. I could see when I dropped him off with her that she was going to take great care of him and I had peace of mind while I was away. I just booked my second stay with her for a weekend. Thanks Kristine!
