I recently transitioned to a casual position at Lady Hammond Animal Hospital after working there full-time for nearly two years. This change has given me the flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for your beloved pets and providing them with the attention they deserve. My passion for animal care began long before my veterinary experience, with previous work in dog daycare and grooming environments. What I enjoy most is building relationships with animals and helping them feel happy, fulfilled, and comfortable while their families are away. I have always loved spending time outdoors and staying active. After the loss of my own dog last October, I found myself missing the companionship and joy that comes from sharing walks and adventures with a furry friend. Now that I have the time and availability, I've made it my mission to help provide that experience for pets whose owners may need an extra hand with exercise, enrichment, and companionship. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply having a caring and knowledgeable companion nearby, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, I'm always ready for the next adventure.

About Kris C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have extensive experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, allowing me to tailor each walk to your dog's individual needs—whether they prefer an energetic adventure, a leisurely stroll, or something in between. My goal is to ensure every outing is safe, enriching, and enjoyable. I drive a spacious SUV with plenty of room to safely transport pets to appropriate exercise and enrichment locations, as well as provide reliable transportation to and from veterinary appointments if needed. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs, from independent animals who require quiet time and space to decompress, to affectionate "Velcro pets" who thrive on constant companionship and attention. My background in animal behavior helps me recognize body language and stress signals, allowing me to adapt my care and provide accommodations that support each pet's comfort and well-being. I am also experienced with a variety of feeding routines and dietary requirements, including veterinary prescription diets, medication administration, food allergies and sensitivities, and raw feeding protocols. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's established routine and will ensure they receive consistent, attentive care while you're away.

Certified Fear Free Animal Lover
Pet care experience
My experience in veterinary medicine, animal care, and behavior has given me a strong understanding of cats' unique needs, personalities, and medical requirements. I am comfortable caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats requiring extra attention and medication. I also have experience recognizing subtle feline body language and stress signals, helping me provide care that is both compassionate and respectful of each cat's comfort level. As a Fear Free Certified professional, I prioritize creating a calm, low-stress environment and am experienced working with shy, anxious, reactive, or otherwise sensitive cats. Whether your cat is social and outgoing or prefers their own space, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away.

Reviews
I highly recommend Kris as a pet sitter and caregiver. Kris is an incredibly caring, responsible, and compassionate animal lover who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. As a pet owner, Kris understands the importance of patience, attention, and providing a safe, loving environment for animals. Working as support staff in a veterinary clinic has also given Kris valuable experience caring for pets and recognizing their individual needs. Their knowledge, reliability, and genuine love for animals make them someone I would trust completely with my own pets. If you're looking for a dependable, attentive, and caring pet sitter, Kris is an excellent choice. Pet parents can feel confident knowing their furry family members are in capable and loving hands.
I’ve know Kristina for about 6 years and during that time they have showed how compassionate and caring they truly are. They love being able to support the people around them, and that same kindness extends naturally to animals. Their reliability and calm presence make them especially well‑suited to looking after animals. They adapt well to new environments and they are extremely hard working, and will bring a positive attitude to the work place.
Kris has always had a passionate love for animals, she's done so much for me and helping care for my pets; when I went away on a vacation I was terrified to leave my bunny who was disabled. I asked her to come periodically around when he needed meds and to give it to him, she was only supposed to just give him his medication but she stayed hours with him, took good care of him, when he had an accident she spent hours properly cleaning him, drying him, etc. There is no one I'd trust more to take proper care of any of my pets.
I’ve worked with Kris in a clinical setting for 1.5 years where I’ve seen her care for healthy, sick, young and old animals. She goes above and beyond for both pets and their parents. She navigated the challenges of caring for her own terminally ill dog whilst caring for other peoples pets at the same time. Her kindness and passion never wavered. She is honest and gentle and I would 100% trust her with my cat.
