Caring and Genuine
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, and chickens around my household. I earned admission to UC Davis as an animal science major, I then transferred to SB and am majoring in Econ. I have a lot of experience with animals and am educated on their biology as well. I also have a lot of experience in dog sitting as well as house sitting for many clients. I am responsible, caring, and truthful. I have good time management and always communicate well to make sure everyone/thing is cared for properly.
Reviews
Kristina is fantastic. She stayed at our house for four nights and took incredible care of our 13 yr old beagle. He was a happy boy while we were away. Kristina kept us updated with photos and comments, which was a nice touch. She is trustworthy, responsible and professional. We can't recommend her enough!
Kristina is simply amazing with my dog, Rosie! She is patient, responsible and loving. My dog is always excited to see her, and I have the sense that Kristina is excited to see her too. I am always confident when I leave Rosie in Kristina's care. I give her my highest recommendation!
Kristina is a contentious and extremely thorough pet and house sitter. She communicates clearly and often sends me sweet photos of my Golden out and about on a walk or cuddling at home. Kristina is beyond responsible and I trust her implicitly with my animals and in my home. The house is always tidy when I return home and I feel comfortable knowing that Kristina is there to ensure everything is safe and sound.
Kristina is very responsible and reliable! We work together at a an equestrian facility training show jumping horses. I have experienced the care she gives to all the horses first hand. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her. All of the horses love and trust her, and my dogs do as well! My Rhodesian ridgeback has a disorder called Megaesophagus so he has to eat in a special chair and get medications and stay in the chair for 15 min after finishing eating. Kristina is one of the very few I know I can rely on for when I leave town to make sure Elvis gets gets fed properly and gets all of his medications. Even my very judgy 16 yr old mini dachshund loves Kristina! Kristina stays at my place and always leaves it in perfect shape. I can not recommend her enough!

I will not be providing care to pets in my home, but I will go to clients homes. Based off experience I follow the exact directions that the client has provided me. I usually ask the questions: how many walks? any allergies? Feeding routine? Medications? Rules about the house?… etc. clients in the past have verbally given me directions or printed out a page.
Information Kristina I. would like to know about your pet
I am always trying to be aware if the dog has any special necessities I can help with. I took animal science classes and am able to help with any of these needs. I primarily ask if they're on medication, what allergies they have, any physical limitations, etc.
A typical day
I love taking the dogs on fun trails or to the beach. I also sometimes go on runs with the more energetic dogs. Love to let them chill as well, but when they want to play I definitely like to keep them happy.
