Four-legged friends are my passion!
Pet care experience
As a life-long dog owner, I have always loved and cared for pets. But as an adult, I have dog-sat, house-sat, worked on farms, volunteered for rescues, trained animals, fostered adoptable pets, and owned my own dogs and cats. I am happiest when surrounded by creatures with four paws and their comfort and care is my top priority. My own dogs (and cats) are incredibly spoiled, and any furry house guests I have are spoiled as well. Belly rubs and treats are always given freely in this house, and we love meeting new friends! A typical weekday in my house consists of letting the dogs out, giving everyone their breakfast, and giving treats before I go to work. I am gone from about 8:30-4:30. After I return home, the dogs are let out again and everyone gets dinner. Then the rest of the night usually involves cuddling on the couch, playing with toys, chewing bones, a few more trips outside for potty breaks and exploring the half acre fenced in yard, and then finally bed time, when the pups will have a choice of couch, dog bed, or my bed. Weekends are about the same, except aside from a hike/walk or quick errand, I am usually home all day.
Reviews
Christine took care of my dog sweetie for a week while I went away she is so good with the dogs my dog had like a vacation for her self at Kristiens. I highly recommend her.
Krystine has taken care of our dog several times over the past year. She has a very dog-centric home and we feel completely comfortable leaving our 11-year old Great Pyrenees mix with her. Our dog takes daily medication for arthritis pain and can have limited mobility some days. Her home is a single floor with easy access to a fenced back yard. She will regularly text us and send pictures to let us know how he's doing. With an older dog, it's great to have someone who will watch him closely because even the smallest issue could signal a larger problem. We know that Krystine cares deeply for our dog and is paying as much attention to him as we would.
Krystine is so great with my dogs and they love her just as much! She has taken care of our dogs on many occasions and it always makes me able to relax more while away knowing she is with them. She is responsible and tidy and your pets will absolutely love her!!
I've known Krystine for over five years now. I run an animal rescue and deal with a lot of special needs animals. Krystine has gone above and beyond in demonstrating her love for these animals who require specialized care. She is compassionate and extremely knowledgeable in dealing with behavioral issues and the nuances that come along with different breeds. Her first hand experience in handling, socialization, food and toy aggression, territorial issues and house training will put any pet owner at ease while they are away from their loved one. She understands that each animal is unique and caters her interactions accordingly.
