Certified Pet Lover
Pet care experience
Hello, My name is Kristina! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and am experienced with and love dogs of all breeds! Since I was about 6 years old my family had gotten a pitbull who lived to be 15 years old. In her senior years I took a lot of responsibility helping her with her needs so I am very experienced with senior dogs. I currently have a jack russel dachshund mix that is 10 years old so I’m also very familiar with smaller dogs with lots of energy. I hope I can brighten your dogs day and help make your day a little easier! In the past 5 years I’ve gotten lots of experience with cats. Although I don’t have a cat of my own, I have become well rounded with cats thanks to my boyfriend and his two cats, and I frequently cat sit for my sister.
About Kristina H.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When walking dogs I am always very careful to keep a strong hold on the leash and much prefer dogs to have a harness rather than having the leash attached to the dogs collar. It’s much safer for dogs to have on a harness and easier to control and grab in case the dog gets rambunctious. As for drop ins, when letting a dog out in their backyard I always go outside with the dog rather than wait at the door. Especially for small dogs I always want to make sure I am near it when it is outside in case of wild animals. You can never be too careful!
Information Kristina H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet requires any special needs or attention. This can include whether or not you’d like me to give them treats, along with what behaviors you reward your pet for and how you like to reward them. If there are any dietary restrictions I’d love to know! Please also let me know any specific commands you use for your pet and the situations you use them for!
A typical day
It is important for dogs to have stimulation so I will play with them, fetch, frisbee, tug, etc. and make sure they get their sniffs in on walks around the neighborhood. Personally, I prefer to stay away from dog parks due to the unpredictable behavior of other peoples pets. However, if there is a trusted dog park near you I will gladly take them there and stay with your dog while they are in the park as well as keep vigilant on other dogs behavior.
