Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Vet and Farm Assistant
I am independently bonded and insured, and registered with the Pet Sitters Association, Pet Professional Guild, and International Association of Animal Behaviourists (IAABC). I live in Whitehouse Station and service central New Jersey in the following areas: Whitehouse Station, Branchburg, Bridgewater, Oldwick, Readington Township, Pluckemin. If you are outside of these towns (or surrounding area), please feel free to make an inquiry and I will let you know my availability. I have many years of experience caring for animals, and am comfortable handling all breeds and temperaments. I'm able to administer medications as needed, including injectables. I enjoy working with all sizes of dogs, but have a fondness for larger ones! I also enjoy working with farm animals (cows, sheep, chickens, rabbits, pigs, goats, etc.) I've volunteered at animal rescue shelters and have extensive personal experience with stray and injured animals, caring for them permanently or releasing them into the wild once they're ready. I apprenticed at a cattle farm located in Stockton, NJ, and worked with cows, chickens, sheep, and rabbits on a daily basis. I also have worked in veterinary hospitals and am familiar with what to do in case of emergency. Why I love dog sitting I've had a love of all creatures since I was a little girl, and I had dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and assorted small fuzzy critters growing up.

Ratings and reviews
Kristina loves our pets and takes care of them super well! We are lucky to have found her!
Kristina took care of our 12 year old Golden this past week. Copper was well cared for and got lots of love from the entire family! We are so grateful for Kristina’s TLC of Cooper! We will certainly be using her services again soon. Thank you Kristina!
Kristina and her family were amazing to our golden, Remy! Cannot recommend enough and Remy is already wishing we’d book another trip so he can go back! Thank you, Kristina!!!!!
I can’t say enough good things about Kristina! This was our first time having a sitter for our pup and we were a bit nervous. However, from the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving our dog in her care. She were attentive, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that showed how well our pup was being cared for. When I came home, our pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know I have someone I can trust completely. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Kristina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and professional sitter.
Kristina has been there for me and my pup a few times now and has been awesome. Completely reliable and a true dog lover. Goes above and beyond bringing in packages and letting me know when my fish tank alarm started beeping. I have had to be away from home a lot recently and it’s been easier to do knowing Kristina was looking after my dog.
Great job taking care of Daisy. She even brought in a package that had been delivered so it didn't get soaked when it rained. Loved the pictures she took and notifying me when she arrived and when she finished. Will definitely be using her in the future.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our yard is not fenced, so guests are leashed while outdoors. It is quite a large yard, so guests can get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Guests have their own space in a separate room so they can feel comfortable with their own crate/bed/toys etc., but also are free to roam the rest of the house when they desire. We do not allow guests in the bedrooms, so visitors must be comfortable sleeping in their own room alone at night.

A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog As much time as they'd like! I have found with previous pet-sitting opportunities that some pets enjoy having company, beyond playtime, feeding, and walking. Extra house-sitting services Watering plants and bringing in the mail is fine, depending on other tasks that are more time consuming, the fee may be adjusted.
