If your dog is not able to walk on hardwood floors (slippery), additional rugs will be placed to make it easier for them. There are rugs both inside and outside doors to help older dogs navigate going in and out. Dogs are fed separately.

Information Kristina G. would like to know about your pet

Please describe your dog's special needs to determine if my skills and previous experience match up with what your dog needs for care. I'm accustomed to well mannered, well trained dogs and prefer that yours has at least basic obedience skills. Older dogs given a lot of grace due to loss of sight and sound.

A typical day

Dogs enjoy daily "sniffaries" during leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. We have a wide selection of interactive toys from kongs, licky boards, snuffle mats, Nina Ottoson interactive toys and of course the ever favorite kibble sniffle in the back yard grass. There are a variety of dog beds for them to choose from while I'm working. We take short breaks in the back yard during the day.

Only sit seniors or medical cases

Pet care experience

I am only taking requests for those who have super senior dogs, those with medical needs or those needing special care. Please look for other sitters if you need care for young or active dogs (unless you have a Westie then perhaps you can sweet talk me into dog care). This is a labor of love I give to others who have special needs dogs like I have. Examples of dogs which I will sit: - Senior dogs with incontinence issues, vision issues, reduced hearing, pills, eye drops, etc - Younger dogs with health issues such as diabetes, epilepsy, anxiety. Dogs must be well mannered without aggression issues. Owners are required to 1. Do perimeter check of the yard for security and provide guidance if their dog needs special security procedures. 2. Provide detailed instructions on dog's daily care. Label medications clearly with administration information. 3. Provide crate, potty pads, belly bands or such, if needed for incontinence. 4. Agree to daily check in phone calls or messages. If you need someone to watch your dog for just a few hours on a single day, contact me and I can adjust the dog daycare rate to accommodate a shorter period of time. If your dog is young, active or large, please contact other sitters as this house is not set up for such. This is a quiet, calm, structured house that works well for seniors. If you have a SMALL, young puppy we might consider care for a few hours or days.

I couldn't be happier with my dog's care. Kristina is pretty amazing.

Kristina went above and beyond to care for my Pom, Roxy, when our flight home was canceled. She gave me so much peace of mind knowing that Roxy was happy and getting lots of TLC. Kristina was so responsive and understanding, and I honestly don’t have the words to recommend her highly enough. She’s a true gem!

Kristina was amazing! Great with communication and updates. Our dog Bentley can have a bit of anxiety and through the whole trip I was never stressed due to her giving us such amazing updates. Bentley loved his stay with Kristina!

Our dog is 14 and has never been boarded. Needless to say, both the humans and the canine were on edge. Kristina was immensely kind, patient, and thoughtful. She sent us pictures and kept us informed the whole time. It was easy to see from the pictures / videos that our dog felt at home with Kristina. Would highly recommend and plan to rebook in the near future.
