Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and have experience with all sizes (from tiny Chiweenie to Great Dane) through family and friends. I have experience taking care of puppies, giving medicine and cleaning ears and teeth. In the past, I had pleasure to take care of a pregnant dog and newborn puppies afterwards. Currently, I have one dog, Heidi, whom I love unconditionally. I am working from home. So your dog will get lots of attention, play time, hugs and regular outside breaks (every 2-3 hours). I live in a fenced house in Palm River, right between Channelside and Brandon (15 minutes away), with Salmon Express Way being close by. It is a very convenient location if you are dropping off your puppy on a way to work. My household includes me, my husband and our fur baby girl. Heidi is very sweet, playful and friendly. She loves everyone, especially children who want to play with her. She is used to having other dogs in the house. She is great with young puppies and senior dogs. However there are some breeds she is scared of, so I am not hosting those (boxers, pitbulls, rottweilers and golden retrievers). Since I am currently working from home, I am available to watch your baby on weekdays while you are at work and weekends when you go away. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and play. Dogs are never being left alone outside and are always watched. I usually do not crate dogs unless required by you for sleeping/training purposes. In our house, dogs are allowed on furniture. So please let me know if you don’t let them on the couch or bed.

Kristina is our favorite dog sitter! She is in doodle heaven there. So many different doodle breads to play with. Has a big gated yard to play in. House is extremely clean. She gets excited to go there. We get so many pictures of dog which we love to see. She is great at communicating. Thank you Kristina!

Kristina is outstanding, she kept me updated the entire time with full communication on how my pup was doing. She’s very caring and attentive to ensure all dogs are safe and happy playing together at all times. I fully trust and appreciate the way she looks after my fur baby and will most definitely be booking again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard with a fenced in dog park on the property. Dogs are never left unattended outside. Inside they are allowed on the furniture and bed (if their parents allow that at home). I use baby gates around the house to keep everyone near me. During work hours all of our fur friends are with me in my office. If needed I can crate you baby, however you will need to bring the crate with them (I only have one of a medium size).

Information Kristina L. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog friendly is the most important question for me. Are they up to date on all vaccinations. I do require a vaccination records from all of our guests to make sure everyone stays safe and healthy. I would also like to know what dog likes (ear scratches, etc). Is there anything that might upset them (other dog barking, laud noise, thunder, fireworks, touching ears or tail, etc). Allergies or medications.

A typical day

I will take your dog outside in our fenced in yard to ran and play fetch. We will be spending a lot of time in our own gated dog park. We have a gated grass area inside the yard which serves as a personal dog park. During hot summer days, we take short outside breaks but spend more time outside in the morning and in the evening.
