Information Kristina P. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet have any special diet restrictions or allergies? Is your pet toy, human or dog reactive? Does your pet have any anxiety issues?

A typical day

Saint and I enjoy playing with his toys especially tug of war or going for walks around our neighborhood so we would bring your furbaby along with us. I'm newer to the Waltham area so I just started exploring.

Pet care experience

Hi! I have background working small animal and in management at an Emergency Pet Hospital. I've gained hands on experience with a range of feline and canine temperaments and medical needs. I stick closely to your care instructions to keep your pet’s routine consistent and avoid creating any unwanted habits while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra patience, structure, or just lots of love and attention, I’m happy to provide it. I believe our pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and compassion I do my own!! 💕

Kristina is awesome. She kept us in the loop with pictures. Her puppy Saint is truly a Saint - gentle and friendly!

Kristina was amazing with my two senior high needs pups! She sent cute collages of them while I was traveling out of state, and followed all of the instructions for their care and medication perfectly! Thank you Kristina! :)

Kristina was such a great find! We needed a housesitter for our foster dog at the last minute, and she was so respsonsive to our outreach. She was great with our energetic sweetheart! I got regular updates to know things were going well, they clearly bonded and had some funny interactions, and overall we felt so good knowing Toga was in good hands with Kristina. We'll definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips!
