Love animals, especially dogs &cats

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and have experience with all sizes (from tiny Chiweenie to Great Dane) through family and friends. I have experience taking care of puppies, giving medicine and cleaning ears. In the past, I had pleasure to take care of a pregnant dog and newborn puppies afterwards. Currently, I have a 4 year old puppy whom I love unconditionally. I am working from home. So your dog will get lots of attention, play time, hugs and regular outside breaks (every 2-3 hours). I live in a fenced house in Palm River, right between Channelside and Brandon (15 minutes away), with Salmon Express Way being close by. It is a very convenient location if you are dropping off your puppy on a way to work. My household includes me, my husband and our 4 year old fur baby girl. She is very sweet, playful and friendly. She loves everyone, especially children who want to play with her. She is used to having other dogs in the house. She is great with young puppies and senior dogs. However there are some breeds she is scared of so I am not hosting those (boxers, pitbulls and rottweilers). Since I am currently working from home, I am available to watch your baby on weekdays while you are at work and weekends when you go away. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and play. Dogs are never being left alone outside and are always watched. I usually do not crate dogs unless required by you for sleeping/training purposes. In our house, dogs are allowed on furniture. So please let me know if you don’t let them on the couch or bed.

Best dog sitter in Tampa bay. Our dog gets excited to go to her house every time. Very clean and we get so many pictures it’s amazing.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to leave Rose for an entire week. Received tons of pictures while away and you could tell she had a ton of fun and felt very comfortable there!

We have brought Winry back several times since her initial visit with Kristina. She always loves going and is so excited when we get there to drop her off and sad to leave. She loves playing with all the other dogs there. Kristina is really great at updating us with pictures throughout her visit.

Kristina is wonderful with our high energy husky. She is my go to whenever we need someone to babysit our dog. Elle loves her backyard and always has a great time playing with Kristina’s dog, Heidi, and any of the other dogs Kristina is watching at the time. She is very patient with Elle, who doesn’t always like to eat her food. I highly recommend Kristina, she has experience with all different breeds and I trust my dog is always in good hands. She treats Elle like her own and that is all I can ask for.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard with a fenced in dog park on the property. Dogs are never left unattended outside. Inside they are allowed on the furniture and bed (if their parents allow that at home). I use baby gates around the house to keep everyone near me. During work hours all of our fur friends are with me in my office. If needed I can crate you baby, however you will need to bring the crate with them (I only have one of medium size).

Information Kristina C. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog friendly is the most important question for me. Are they up to date on all vaccinations. I do require a vaccination records from all of our guests to make sure everyone stays safe and healthy. I would also like to know what dog likes (ear scratches, etc). Is there anything that might upset them (other dog barking, laud noise, touching ears or tail, etc). Do they like other dogs. Allergies or medications.

A typical day

I will take your dog outside in our fenced in yard to ran and play fetch. We will be spending a lot of time in our own gated dog park. We have a gated grass area inside the yard which serves as a personal dog park.
