Information Kristina F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about your dog’s special needs, preferences, and behavior (i.e., if they’re anxious or hyper). I’m good with puppies who have a routine and senior dogs as well.

A typical day

I love playing fetch and tug with dogs; I can also walk them as much or little as they want. They are also welcome to sleep with me on the bed.

Pet care experience

I work from home and take breaks every hour - which must include exercise. That’s when I walk the dogs, play fetch, run around. At night, I love to cuddle up and watch a movie or read with a dog next to me. I have cared for all types of dogs over the last few years, either through Rover or by house sitting. I spent the last year traveling the USA, staying at others’ homes and taking care of their pets while they traveled. I have loved and cared for dogs since I was a kid, as my family raised, fostered, and cared for sheepdogs. I am obsessed with dogs and like to say I’m a dog whisperer 😆. But really, I’ll care for your dog as if they’re my own.

Kristina was fantastic with Beau and Roux. Our anxious Roux was comfortable with her from day 1 and showed no signs of anxiety the entire stay. Kristina is truly a dog whisperer. When we picked up, both dogs where happy to see us but in no hurry to leave. During the stay we received daily updates and pictures. I highly recommend Kristina.

Once again, Kristina went above and beyond 5 stars to lovingly take care of our labrador Scout for 10 days. She clearly loves dogs, provides exceptional care, and wants your pup to have a happy, fun time while staying with her. She was observant and had great communication with us, too. Thanks so much, Kristina!

Kristina was amazing with blue. From the start, we felt really comfortable leaving him with her. She made him feel right at home and treated him like her own. Blue got tons of walks and exercise, and we could just tell from all the updates that he was having the best time. She sent us so many photos- you could literally see how happy he was in every single one. It made us feel so at ease while we were away. She was super attentive and clearly really cares about the dogs she watches. We came back to a very happy, well-exercised pup. Already booked her again for our next trip!

Kristina was so good at reading the energy of my corky poodle boy, Kylo! She is very attentive with sending photos and videos and does everything possible to give the pups a comfortable environment and welcoming stay! I will definitely be using her again 😊 🐩

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.
