Professional dog cuddler

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my entire life - Shelties, to be exact! I now have a Sheltie and an Aussie/Lab mix of my own. To say they're spoiled is an understatement! Aside from taking care of my own two, I have watched friends' pups on many occasions. My mom/family has trained a service dog, so I have learned a bit there and am familiar with training and utilizing different commands. My sweet Riley became very leash reactive when we moved to the city. She gets very overwhelmed by busy streets and all passerby’s and would prefer to meet other doggos off leash first, then she’s happy to play!

Kristina is a phenomenal dog visitor, treat and potty break facilitating, yard romp mate to my 70lb supermutt, Annie. Kristina took the time to get acquainted with Annie and I in our yard space several times before beginning to meet/drop-in on Annie in the PMs solo (first for a week-long work trip; now for weekly reoccurring drop-ins). I NEVER gush like this, but Kristina really has been the key to getting my country-turned-city scaredy baby to socialize and gain the confidence to meet new people. Kristina is always consistent in making her drop-in times, sending cute pictures, and really making both you, the dog parent, and your dog, comfortable. It’s such a relief to know Kristina is there for Annie’s visiting/pet sitting needs - don’t miss out - ask Kristina to meet your pets, too!

Safety, trust & environment

My house is always stocked with plenty of treats, bones, toys, and cuddles. I have a fully-fenced courtyard for the pups to play fetch in and chase each other as long as their hearts' desire, as well as a good amount of indoor space when the weather doesn't cooperate. I do not share any walls with neighbors so barking is not an issue.

Information Kristina L. would like to know about your pet

I want to know your pup's typical routine! This way I can do my best to keep it the same while you're gone to make it easier on your dog.

A typical day

I can 100% guarantee playtime in the courtyard along with fetching and squeaky toys galore! I do work M-F but work from home and am not tied to my computer… this has meant ample daytime playtime for the pups and extra quick potty breaks sprinkled in if needed.
