Availability
Pet care is a full part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in between other commitments. My schedule is built around the dogs in my care so they get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, enrichment, and downtime throughout the day. I also make sure to keep routines as consistent and low-stress as possible, especially for anxious or special-needs dogs who thrive on structure and familiarity.

About Kristina O.
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in your home by following their normal routine as closely as possible, feeding, walks, meds, play, and downtime. This was everything feels familiar and low-stress while you’re away. I keep things calm, consistent, and make sure they still get plenty of attention and enrichment. I especially enjoy working with anxious, reactive, senior, and special-needs pets, and I always go at their pace using patient, force-free care so they feel safe and comfortable.
Home
Information Kristina O. would like to know about your pet
I like to know your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, and anything important about their behavior like triggers, fears, or how they do with new people and other dogs. It also helps to know what they love, favorite toys, games, and anything that helps them feel calm and comfortable.
A typical day
I like to keep things fun but also totally tailored to each pet. For active dogs, that usually means walks where they get to sniff everything, little enrichment games, treat searches, or a good game of fetch if that’s their thing. For dogs who are more nervous, reactive, or just prefer a slower pace, I keep it really calm easy walks, simple enrichment, and lots of time to just relax and feel comfortable. Everything is based on what makes your pet happiest and most at ease.

Dog Lover Is An Understatement
Pet care experience
I have a special passion for working with anxious, reactive, shy, and special-needs dogs, and I know how important patience and trust are when caring for them. I have hands-on experience through dog training, rescue work, and working with the Humane Society, so I’m very comfortable reading body language and adapting care to each dog’s individual needs and personality. Whether your dog is high-energy, nervous, older, or just needs someone who truly understands them, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with senior dogs including medication support and mobility awareness and I’ve worked with livestock which makes me comfortable with multi animal households and more complex care situations. My goal is to provide safe structured and enriching care where every animal feels secure supported and genuinely cared for!
