Kristina is always helpful, and great with my dogs. I come home to a clean house and happy pets!

Kristina is a perfect sitter! She sent photos and notes everyday; she proactively addressed concerns for my three senior dogs; I came home to a spotless home, and my dogs were very happy. Thank you, thank you!

Kristina is a treasure! She is conscientious, caring, knowledgable, and a wonderful guest in our home. During a recent trip, we unexpectedly had to stay away two extra days, and Kristina was able to accommodate our extended leave, as well as graciously remaining flexible during our drive home that unexpected turned into yet another delay. I can't imagine a better caregiver!

Kristina is amazing with dogs! She is also a wonderful person. She is very attentive to the needs of your animal and follows your instructions carefully. We loved getting reports from her with pictures of our dog having fun. Kristina also came out for a meet and greet before we booked her services. I would recommend Kristina in a heart beat! My Jack was safe and comfortable with her.

Safety, trust & environment

The cats get fed 2-3 times a day and their water fountains get cleaned once a week. They get all the pets they want & at least 20 minutes of play time a day each! Since i grew up in a primarily canine household, I am equally comfortable caring for them as i am for cats today. My parents dogs get fed twice a day & walked 3-4 times a day with lots of positive training reinforcement and playtime in between!

Information Kristina M. would like to know about your pet

Anything the dog doesn't like. Things to avoid. Everything he does like. What his favorite treat/reward is. Any rules his parents have, and best way to enforce these rules.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs or cats for walks in nature in a safe yet stimulating environment. Playing fetch, frisbee, or with their favorite toy in the yard is also a favorite activity of mine because they are so cute romping around in the grass. I love boating on warm summer days with water loving pooches and hanging out at the lake playing fetch in the water with sticks. Walking/driving (always only with owners consent) to a natural pet bakery/food store & letting the dog pick out a tasty healthy treat is always exciting & trust building for me and the dog!

I am currently a student at MSU & work 2 part time jobs with flexible schedules. This allows me to be available at most any time to provide services on Rover! I have 2 pet cats who are very self sufficient for the most part but they still require plenty of love and care(:
