Caring home with fenced in yard

Hello! I'm Kristina, a special education teacher by day and an animal lover at heart. Caring for others has always been my passion, and my love for animals began at a very young age. I've been a dog owner since I was five years old, and pets have always been an important part of my life. As a teacher, I have a dependable schedule that allows me to provide loving and reliable care for your furry family members. I understand that being away from your pet can be stressful, so my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, a drop-in visit for potty breaks and meals, playtime in the yard, or plenty of belly rubs and cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits. During the school year, I am typically available before work around 6:00 AM, after work beginning at 4:00 PM, and later in the evening. During the summer months, my schedule is much more flexible. I may also consider overnight house sitting for established clients once a trusting relationship has been formed. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and provide dependable care, companionship, and peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to helping keep tails wagging!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as much as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. During drop-in visits, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, walks if requested, medication administration (if needed and instructions are provided), and plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind while they are away. For dog walking services, I make safety a priority by ensuring pets are properly leashed, hydrated, and exercised according to their age, energy level, and individual needs. I take time to provide affection and companionship during each visit, not just a quick walk.

Kristina was the absolute BEST!!! My Vito fit right in with her adorable dogs and they had so much fun!!! We got daily photo updates, and Vito got all of the love! It’s like he never left home! She’s so caring and kind, and he almost didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Kristina is one of the most loving and caring individuals I know. She provides an environment for her pets that any animal would be lucky to be a part of. Over the years that I know her I could hoesntly say I have not encountered other individuals that care for there pets the way that Kristina does! I would highly recommend her to care for anyone's pets as I believe she would treat them as her own.

Kristina is a wonderful dog mom. She takes great care of her own dogs by providing them a loving home with plenty of walks and affection. Kristina is a responsible, fun person. I never hesitate to have my own dogs in her care.

Kristina is my work colleague and one of my biggest role models. From my experience working with her in the classroom, I can tell that she is a deeply caring person. Outside of work, she is a dog-mom to two cute, goofy fur-babies that she just adores. Due to her experience as a dog owner as well as a love for dogs, it is my opinion that Kristina would make an outstanding dog caregiver.

Kristina is a kind and caring dog owner. She has 2 dogs currently and has had them since they were puppies. She loves and cares for them like they are her babies. Prior to Brody and Augie, Kristina had Nika, whom she treated no differently. She always provides her pups with plenty of play time, proper diet, and affection.

Kristina is an extremely responsible dog owner. She has taken her dogs to classes and also regularly socializes them. She is an advocate for both Pit Bulls and rescues, having owned both. I not only bring my dog over for play dates, but also placed my animals in her care when I am away. I have full confidence in Kristina as a responsible and livid dog caregiver.
