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 is contentious and caring. She treated our home and dog as if her own. She even got involved with the neighbors in an effort to help a wild animal that was injured in our community. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter.

Kristina is an amazing sitter! She watched Rio for us while we were traveling out of country and I was completely worry free for the very first time leaving Rio with someone. She sent me Rio’s pictures regularly and I didn’t even have to ask her for them! She sent me updates and followed Rio’s routine to the T. She ensured he got his supplements and wiped him up everyday to avoid his environmental allergies. When Kristina left, the house was clean and tidy. She was also kind enough to adjust her timings because of our flights moving a little bit. When we had to cut short our trip, she offered to walk Rio for us for the remaining days which was such a sweet gesture. Rio was always super excited to see her which tells me how much he enjoyed his stay with her! 💕 All in all, I appreciate her so much. Kristina is kind, honest and responsible. Thanks Kristina, you will be my go to person for Rio in the future!

Kristina is an absolutely fantastic sitter. She is professional, punctual, detail-oriented, courteous, and followed all instructions for our dog. She handled Barnes's anxiety and high energy with ease and managed well through difficult situations. I would recommend her to anyone.
