I work fully remotely as brand designer. Being in a creative field, it's really helpful to take breaks so that I can come back to my work with fresh eyes. This is one of the reasons I love going on walk breaks with dogs.

My care is based on your pet’s needs and I will follow your lead when it comes to providing the best care possible. If it's in your care guide, I will be following it closely. I’m someone who thrives on detailed instructions and will refer to it often.

Information Kristina B. would like to know about your pet

The thing that is the most important for me to know is how you would like me to care for your pet. It also really helps to have your pets entire Rover profile filled out as well.

I’m a dog and cat purr-son

Pet care experience

I grew up with an amazing dog and as an adult I have had my cat (Coco) for 8 years. I take care of everything for her and although I haven't had a dog in my life for a while, I've taken care of many for friends, family, and Rover. I understand that leaving your pet behind can be stressful and the idea of your dog being locked in a crate next to a bunch of other stress-inducing barking dogs is not ideal for you or your dog. Being in a familiar environment is peaceful and relaxing for your dog(s) and with me as your sitter, you can be assured that they will stay on the same routine as if no one had ever left.

Kristina gave me complete peace of mind while caring for my dogs. From the moment we met her, she had such a calm, kind, and reassuring energy, and my dogs immediately felt comfortable around her. She took the time to carefully listen to Lola’s specific needs and followed every instruction exactly as requested, which meant so much to me. I am especially grateful for the attention and care she gave to Lola. Throughout the entire stay, she kept me updated with frequent photos and messages, so I always knew how my girls were doing. Her communication was excellent, and I never had to wonder how they were doing because she was always proactive about keeping me informed. My request was made on short notice, but she still went out of her way to accommodate us, and I truly appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help. I’m incredibly thankful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust her with my dogs again. Highly recommended!

Kristina took Panda on long walks while we were at work and Panda was a tired, happy dog! We are so lucky to have a reliable, kind walker like Kristina.

Kristina took great care of our pup! I’d like to especially thank Kristina for going the extra mile, showing extra kindness and care for our girl when she had an anxious late night episode. Kristina, you really made us comfortable knowing our pup was getting the comfort she needed in that moment.

Kristina is so good with Rio. I think I’ve found my go to person to rely on when I’m not around. I appreciate Kristina for always following Rio’s routine to the t and also sending picture updates regularly. It helps that I never have to ask for updates as Kristina always makes the effort herself and takes the initiative to be in touch. She always leaves the house clean which she really doesn’t have to but I appreciate it so much. Coming back to a clean home after a trip always nice! It also shows how responsible Kristina is. Thank you again Kristina. You’re awesome :)

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
