Pet care experience

Instant love for all your pets!

I have always loved animals, and I can't imagine a life without them! I'm equal parts cat and dog person, and my family always had both growing up. I have been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. I've been extremely active as a petsitter for friends and family since childhood, and more recently, I have been a petsitter through a home/petcare exchange site with all exceptional 5 star-reviews. Pet-sitting and dog-walking allows me to connect with the people I love most--animals! (I'm kidding...sort of!) I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I understand your furry friends are part of your family and that it is no small matter to have a stranger taking care of them and your home. I strive to become your pet's friend and substitute pet-parent, not just an anonymous care-taker! I am a freelance editor, artist, and writer--I make my schedule which means I can be flexible and frequently available. I travel quite a bit and will always update my location and availability. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds, including those with special needs. I'm reliable, flexible, and I'm excited to spend time and really connect with your furry friend. I'm happy to send texts/pictures and update you on our visits and time together so that you may have peace of mind. I will strive to make both pets and parents as comfortable as possible.

Kristina was a true lifesaver. It was my first time using her and she took excellent care of my pittie and chihuahua and my home. She have several updates throughout the day and was very communicative. My dog hurt his leg and she kindly took him to the vet. He had to be sedated for test and she kept such a close eye on him afterwards while the sedation wore off. I would gladly use her again

I had a wonderful experience with Kristina! She stayed at my apartment to watch my pup and I couldn’t have asked for better care. My pup is older and has some separation anxiety after a recent move, and she went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and settled while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and treated both my home and Charlie with so much care and respect. I loved receiving updates and knowing he was in such good hands, which gave me complete peace of mind. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and an apartment that was just as clean as I left it. I would absolutely trust her to watch Charlie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and thoughtful pet sitter!

Kristina did a great job housesitting and taking care of my senior dog. She gave me real peace of mind. My dog can be both timid and stubborn and Kristina had a lot of patience with her. Within a few hours my dog was trusting of her which was a great sign. Kristina went above and beyond caring for my dog including the precautions we take with her mobility issues. Kristina provided tons of timely communication with texts and photos. She left my home clean. I’d recommend Kristina to anyone who’s nervous about leaving their dog with a sitter.

Kristina was great with our quirky, senior pup. She kept us well updated and sent plenty of pictures. Our girl warmed up to her quickly, and we would highly recommend her.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, dietary restrictions, or aggressive behaviors. For walks, it is good to know your dog's energy level, as well as their normal routine. I want them to have a enjoyable experience.
