Safety, trust & environment

I accept gigs in MD, DC, and VA. I do not provide services out of my home. I travel to my clients’ homes for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. I ask clients to provide me with clear instructions that list their pets’ feeding schedules, walking schedules, medical needs, etc. and I will accommodate to the best of my ability. Efficiency and communication are key. Progress reports will be given daily.

Information Kristina C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of your pet(s) breed, age, size, dietary restrictions, medical needs, and special quirks (e.g., odd/funny behaviors, temperament, aggression toward men/women/children/other animals).

A typical day

One size does not fit all because every dog is different. Therefore, deserves customized and quality care that is tailored to them (e.g. nature walks, tossing the ball around, chasing a laser light, shredding stuffed animals…sorry not sorry, tug-o-war, tricks, cuddles on the couch, etc). That includes cats, small rodents, and birds too!

Kristina is an EXCELLENT, caring, trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. We are quite neurotic about our pups, and it’s been a while since we have had to use a sitter. We were so worried about them! They are both hounds so they’re “runners” and one is extremely shy, fearful of loud sounds, and anxious. Kristina provided us true peace of mind! She sent lots of photos the entire time, and told us cute stories of their antics throughout each day. I highly recommend Kristina. You should stop at her name and book her now! She’s wonderful!

Kristina did a wonderful job while housesitting with our 10-week-old puppy. It's clear that she loves pets and cares about their well-being. She was cheerful and willing to stay about a hour longer than expected when our event ran long. Highly recommended!

Kristina was a lifesaver for us for a last minute request to pet sit our dog, Phoenix. She was incredibly accommodating and communicative. She sent us updates and photos of our pup through our her stay, which was much appreciated. Kristina is incredibly professional and personable, and would trust her with our dog for future needs.

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.
