Professional Pet Tender

Pet care experience

I owned my own pet-sitting company for 8 years in Michigan. I always offer a 100% satisfaction promise to all my clients. (If you or your pet are not satisfied with my services, I will gladly give you your money back!) I treated my clients' pets as though they were my own. I am a certified Vet Tech as well. I am able to administer any type of medication or medical aid. I am a certified dog trainer. I specialize in training traumatized dogs rescued from shelters to overcome anxiety. I have cared for every type of pet including exotics. There is no type of pet I can't care for. :) I love caring for "fur people." This is not just a job to me. It is a passion that I live.

Kristina is a life saver! We know we can always count on her to care for Mr. Bean our special needs Rottweiler. We have been experiencing a lot of family turmoil lately and have had to go out of town to care for family elderly members. We know that without advance notice, Kristina will always make time to give our special guy the highly specialized care he needs. She is simply the best! 5 paws!!!

Kristina is truly an Angel! She came to our rescue over the holidays. We couldn't get home on-time because we were snowed in. So she CANCELED her plans to stay longer with our fur babies. She ALSO took our sweet boy to the vet because he was coughing. Thank GOD she did. We thought he just had a cold. She knew better! He had a piece of chicken bone stuck in his throat! I feel so guilty I didn't know the difference between a cold cough and a chicken bone stuck cough. Kristina knew! She is our pet sitter for life! Thank you Kristina!!! We all love you! You are simply the best. -Kara

I was so happy to find Kristina. She took care of my home, my dog and cat for 10 days. My dog has pretty extreme separation anxiety, but when I got home I could tell he had gotten lots of Ioving. Kristina kept me informed on what was going on but not too much so I could enjoy my vacation. Also, I liked that she and I communicated how we each wanted things. She did a great job for all that time when she had never been with my animals before.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not offer boarding in my home because I have cats and no fenced yard. I care for pets in their home environments.

Information Kristina A. would like to know about your pet

No, I do not have any preferences. All dogs are angels! In my experience, each dog or cat has a unique personality and therefore, they prefer varying activities. It is important to find out what they enjoy.

A typical day

I will happily do whatever the dog enjoys! :) Also, my focus is 100% on your pet. I don't teach during the summer, so all I do is pet-sitting. :) I offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back! FYI: None of my clients have every asked for their money back. ;)
