Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I work from home, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks are built into my schedule (they’re just as good for me as they are for the dogs!), and I love starting and ending the day with some fresh air and tail wags. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, cuddles, or bathroom breaks, I’m home and available to make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and well cared for. Please note: My condo HOA has breed restrictions in place, so I’m unable to host certain types of dogs. If you’re unsure whether your pup fits within those guidelines, feel free to reach out—I'm happy to chat and help clarify. I’m also happy to care for two dogs from the same household, as long as they’re well-socialized and comfortable in a home environment.

About Kristina C.

Safety, trust & environment
My priority is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. At my home, pets get plenty of supervised attention throughout the day, regular potty breaks, and playtime—with cozy spots to relax and my friendly Labradoodle Luna as a companion (if they’re okay with other dogs).I always aim to stick to your pet’s usual routine to keep them stress-free.

Information Kristina C. would like to know about your pet
I like to know as much as possible ahead of time to make sure your pup feels at home! Please share: Any reactivity, anxiety, or medical conditions Feeding routines and bathroom habits If your dog has any escape tendencies (I live in a condo and open doors carefully!) How they do with other dogs (I have a sweet Labradoodle and we have many dogs and kids in our condo community) Also, due to HOA guidelines, I can’t host certain restricted breeds. If you’re unsure whether your dog fits the requirements, feel free to reach out and ask!
A typical day
I tailor activities based on your dog’s energy level and preferences—some love long walks and active play, others just want belly rubs and a comfy spot to nap near me while I work. I'm all about making them feel happy, relaxed, and part of the pack while they're here! If your dog enjoys car rides, I love to walk at the marina. Or we venture around our neighborhood.

Pet care experience
I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Luna, my sweet 7-year-old Labradoodle. Before Luna, I had two Golden Retrievers in my 20s—so I’ve been surrounded by wagging tails and furry companionship most of my adult life. I work from home, which means I’m around for plenty of walks, belly rubs, and one-on-one attention. Whether it’s a casual stroll or some active playtime, I truly enjoy caring for dogs and making sure they feel loved, safe, and at home.
Reviews
Kristina is an amazing furbaby sitter, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gives to Enzo every time he stays with her. Enzo is a regular with Kristina, which says a lot about the trust and comfort we feel leaving him in her care. She is dependable, kind, and truly treats him like family. We always appreciate the updates, love, and patience she gives him, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy, and well cared for. Enzo always comes home relaxed and happy, and we highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾
Kristina took wonderful care of our dog while we were away! Her communication is top notch and she was so accommodating and professional. Our pup returned happy, relaxed, exercised, and even smelling good 😊 We will definitely book with Kristina again!
We completely trust Kristina to take care of our Labradoodle, Bo. He loves playing with her Labradoodle, Luna and she takes wonderful care of Bo and communicates with us daily when we travel, sending pictures of their daily activities. We travel often and plan to have Kristina take care of Bo regularly!
Kristina was awesome with our boy Gunther. She welcomed him into her family and treated him like royalty. Kept us up with pictures too! I highly recommend Kristina.
