I currently work from home so I let the dogs out many times throughout the day. When I do make a career switch I have a babygate to seperate the house to make sure there are no incidents while im out and then before and after work they will get plenty of exercise.

Information Kristina K. would like to know about your pet

General habits and likes and dislikes. Need to know type of food and if they are fed at a certain time. Any health issues, or if there is anything I should keep an eye on. Need to know if they are diggers or fence jumpers.

A typical day

My dog loves to play and gets really excited as soon as the other dog shows any interest. I have a fenced in yard and when the weather is nice I leave the back door open and they can run in and out of the house all they want.

Pet care experience

I currently work from home but I am the the process of making a career change and will eventually be working out of the house. I have a German shepherd that loves everyone! He does well woth small dogs, big dogs, aggressive dogs, and shy dogs. I do have cats but they are outside, they have claimed the frontyard and porch and stay out of the backyard. I have been watching animals on Rover since 2020 and I was a horse trainer/ranch hand before that. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Kristina is a fantastic sitter. She is very knowledge about pets. She has a nice sized back yard that my dogs loved. Kristina is responsive to questions and is flexible about dropoff and pickup times. The best part of my experience was how happy my dogs were when I picked them up. I will only be using Kristina in the future!!

My dog was sad and gave me side eye on the drive home, after his vacation with his new bff’s. Kristina sent me daily updates with pics and videos. I could see how much fun Bandit was having and I could see how well he was being taken care of. I highly recommend Kristina and would definitely book again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
