Don’t let 🐕 ❤️ hold you back!

Pet care experience

I know our dogs are a part of our family, so it’s so hard leaving them behind when meeting all the demands of the day! I struggle with this all the time. But as WONDERFUL as they are we can't let them get in the way of our plans, and sadly not all activities can involve our precious fur babies. I am committed to providing exceptional care for your pet. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have had my own dog now for over two years. I have also volunteered at multiple animal shelters taking care of the dogs available for adoption, and have been trusted with boarding my neighbors' and friends' dogs on multiple occasions. I prefer to set up a meet and greet prior to confirming a service to allow the opportunity for your pet to see me as a familiar face and to allow us to discuss any questions or concerns. Exceptions to this can be made in cases where clients are 100% sure their pet is comfortable and friendly towards strangers. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! SERVICES Services I provide include the following: Dog Walking Drop-In Visits (in client's home) House Sitting (staying overnight with pet in client's home) Dog Boarding (in sitter's home)* Doggy Day Care (in sitter's home)* *These services only available for pets who are fully house/potty trained and accustomed to apartment-style living (meaning that they are trained to go potty on walks throughout the day and don't rely on access to a doggy door). I do not have my own yard but I have a spacious apartment and balcony for them to stretch out. I live surrounded by beautiful safe grounds for walking, and live near many dog parks and Fiesta Island where I can take your pet for longer visits.

Kristina is incredibly professional! She even visited our apartment a day prior to her first walk with Cooper to make sure everything would run smoothly during her walks. She is extremely good at reaching out and keeping open lines of communication. I would recommend her to anyone!

Kristina was a great boarder! My dog Peach immediately became good friends with her dog Cleo and they played for hours. Kristina texted updates and pictures throughout the day. My dog definitely had a blast, and I highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for services.

Kristina has watched my little furball (Pappu), on numerous occasions and she has been very accommodating and amazing to my little guy and me. When I leave Pappu with her, I feel at ease and relaxed, and she keeps me updated on his daily antics. She is very patient with Pappu. Her dog Cleo, is super sweet and gets along great with Pappu. Kristina is very knowledgeable about taking care of dogs and I've learned a few things from her. Pappu loves her and is always eager to go visit her and Cleo. I feel so fortunate to have found Kristina and be able to travel and still do things I want and not let puppy love hold me back. Thank you Kristina! :)

Kristina has watched my pup Sedona and she is one of the very few people I feel at ease leaving my sweet girl with. From the start she asked all the right questions about Sedona (scheduling, behavioral, medical, etc.) which made me feel very comfortable. She has her own pup, Cleo, so it's great that she understands being a dog mom! It's always easy communicating with her and she does a great job of keeping me updated on Sedona along with fun check in pictures =) Sedona is always in such a happy mood when she is with Kristina and Cleo which makes being away from her so much easier. I highly recommend Kristina!

Information Kristina I. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is aggressive towards dogs or humans (including children) should we encounter any on our walks. For boarding in my home, please let me know if they bark frequently or get into trouble with any chewing tendencies. Property management has breed restrictions that I have to respect when boarding in my home, as follows: Pit Bulls, American Staffordshire Terriers, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinchers, Wolf-Hybrids and Perro de Presa Canarios. These restrictions do not reflect my personal views. Thank you!

A typical day

I have a lot of great parks where I can take your dog for a good run around and socializing: my residential dog park, Fiesta Island, Civita Dog Park, and Morley Field Dog Park to name a few. I have a very sweet 35lb terrier mix for playing or napping with at home. We can also practice commands and tricks that you have been working on at home.
