Your dog's new BFF

Pet care experience

Hi there! I absolutely love dogs, and look forward to giving yours a great day and or night when you are away. I grew up with dogs, and have had dogs of my own for the last 15 years. I am home all day (work from home) and available to give special attention to your furry friend. I have an awesome, huge backyard covered with large oak trees so your pup will have lots of room to run around and play. The yard is perfect for squirrel chasing and barking at birds :) We also get the yard treated for mosquitoes monthly. Our quiet neighborhood and nearby trail make for perfect walks as well. My dog Sophia is super sweet and submissive, and makes a perfect in house companion. She loves to play and give kisses!! Let me love your dog as if it were my own, without your having to compromise on the safety of your pet AND without having to deal with kennel prices. Belly rubs included at no extra charge! One important note in regards to overnight stays- the rate is for a drop off on day one and pick up by 12pm the next day. If you are dropping your dog of in the morning, and want to pick up after 12pm the next day, a small additional charge will be applied. We will discuss this prior to booking of course :) Lastly, if your dog does “mark” in the house, or still need significant potty-training, I will only be available for drop-ins or house-sitting.

Kristina walked our two dogs several times a day while we were on two quick trips. She was easy to contact , easy to work out the details for the walks and did a great job. It’s nice not to worry about your pets when you are out of town.

Kristina was great to work with from our initial contact to meeting to meet the dogs to communication during the dog walking. She was very responsive and responsible. Thank you !

As a first time Rover user, I am so happy to have found Kristina. She looked after my dog over the weekend and made his time so comfortable and fun. She sent frequent updates and pictures/videos. I am so happy I found her and would highly recommend her.

My pup got along spectacularly with her pup. It was clear that he loved his time at daycare.

Information Kristina S. would like to know about your pet

Nice, socialized dogs only please, I do want to ensure the safety of my own pet. If your dog requires a crate, please bring it. I do not own a crate and the best I can do is a baby gate by the kitchen. I want them to have the same experience that they do in your home.

A typical day

Play time in the backyard with tennis balls and frisbees. Walks around the neighborhood and nearby trail.
