About: Hello, my name is Kristina and I would love to become a pet sitter for you. I grew up in a family where animals were always a big part. From horses to dogs to cats, we always had furry friends around. I also grew up in a family where we were taught to take responsibility and care for our animals so I learned pretty young all the important things related to animal ownership. Some of the skills I possess are the ability to care for both puppies and older dogs. I have owned both and know that each has their own needs. I am also willing to administer medications and am a very observant person so I notice when things may not be quite right. I grew up with a veterinarian in the family and he taught me what to look for and what to do in case there is a problem. My goal is to make the time I spend with your pet comfortable for both them and you. As a pet parent, I know it’s tough to leave your four legged friend behind and I want you to be at ease about it. I currently work full time but work during the day so I have plenty of time during the early mornings and evenings to care for your pets. I would make sure to fit an extra-long play session in at night so that they can wear off that energy. Currently, I am not set up to care for other pets in my home as my older dog prefers her own space. As I know from experience with my own dog, animals are more comfortable in their home because it is more normal. My goal for caring for your animals in your home would be to give them as much normalcy in their routine as I can. I also would respect your home as it can be a bit strange letting someone come into it while you are gone. And of course, I would send as many pictures and updates as you want.

About: Ever since I can remember I have adored animals. I have always been the person who would go over to a friend's house and end up sitting by their pet the whole time! When I became old enough, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter and pet sitting as much as I could. At the shelter, I walked dogs, spent time playing with cats and kittens, and helped clean kennels and cages. I have a senior dog and senior cat that I have had their whole lives so I have extensive experience raising and training pets, as well as experience with senior animals. I also have a rabbit so am familiar with different kinds of pet care as well! I am currently unemployed, though I do have potential offers in the works, so for now I have full availability! I will update my availability as it changes. Due to having 2 senior pets that hate all other pets but each other, I am unable to offer boarding at this time. However, I will provide any sort of care necessary for your pets in your homes! I am very good at following directions if you have a list for me, but I am also good at just knowing what goes into caring for pets, such as watching for potty cues and noticing when they need mental or physical stimulation.

About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life, including senior animals. I also don't mind bathing or brushing your pets or doing nail trims. I am at home full time and occasionally gone on weekends, I have an active lifestyle so would be more than happy to take your dog to the lake or walking! My dog currently goes out on a walk and to play daily. I have some kitties all rescue and I own a lab/gsd mix. I volunteered at a shelter all of my childhood into adulthood so have experience in dog bathing, nail trims for cats and dogs (even Guinea pigs or other small rodents), I have trained multiple family dogs to do various tricks including (sit, stay, roll over, come, play dead, beg, give kisses, fetch, lay down, Army crawl, puppy pose, shake, and waiting to get treat or toy. My current cats have even learned how to sit for a treat, shake, spin, wave, and stand on their hind legs! My pets are very loved and spoiled so I feel id be able to provide a loving supportive spot for pet sitting!

About: I am a parent to 6 cats and 1 dog. I had 3 dogs but 2 recently passed after 12 and 14 years. I love all creatures! I feed the stray cats and opossums in our neighborhood. I work at a special needs/behavioral school and we’re off for the summer. My availability is open and my schedule is flexible. I’m available morning and night. I care for pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible whether that means regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or quiet cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I stick to their feeding, walking, and medication schedules, and always keep pets company so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. Communication is key, so I send regular updates and photos to keep you reassured and connected. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities!
