Safety, trust & environment

As I am currently renting, I am not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to travel and take care of your fur-baby in the comfort of their own home! I have been trained on how to handle all types of animals with care and respect towards them, and would feel comfortable assisting with any training you are working with them on. Most of all, I absolutely love to hang out with any animal and would be honored to care for your fur baby!

Information Kristianna M. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with any animal or breed, but I would love to know about your pet’s preferences, such as allergies, if they are reactive towards any people or animals, or anything else that will allow me to care for them better!

A typical day

I love engaging with and interacting with all kinds of animals! I am good at coming up with enrichment activities and ways go engage their brain, as well as physical activity.

Pet care experience

I am a third year veterinary student here in Ames! I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years now and have gained experience in handling and working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I have also been petsitting for family friends for 5 years and have plenty of experience making pets feels comfortable while their owner is away. I am comfortable handling any dog or cat, with anything from giving medications to your senior pup to walks and exercise for the more energetic ones!

Kristianna was awesome! She is sweet, mature, responsible and proactive. A blizzard and a furnace that died while we were gone did not faze her a bit! We could tell she really loved taking care of our older dog. Kristianna gave us real peace of mind!

This was our second time having Kristianna housesit with our two large dogs. She takes great care of them, sends updates during her stay, and leaves our house very clean. I would recommend her to others and hope to book again!

Kristianna took excellent care of our 2 large dogs! She left our home tidy and provided updates throughout her stay. Would recommend to others and hope to have her back in the future!

Kristianna did a great job with my dog!! Ghil is not always super friendly, but Kristianna was super patient and understanding. I felt pretty good about it since she’s already a vet tech, but just watching her interact with my dog made me feel 10x better. She’s super sweet and genuinely loves animals—I couldn’t recommend her more!! <3
