Pet care experience
I’ve had quite a few experiences professionally caring for animals. I’ve fostered seeing eye dogs for the blind through the organization Fidelco. When doing this I also taught basic commands such as stay, sit, lay down, etc... In addition to learning basic training skills I had to pass a home inspection. My home has been certified safe by Fidelco. Additionally I have experience volunteering with T.A.I.L.S in Norwalk. The organization is a nonprofit that runs through pet stores. I’ve had experience in adoption events with both cats and dogs, and I’ve worked in cat socialization. Lastly, I’ve watched pets for family and friends before. I’ve taken care of fish, rabbits, cats, and dogs.
Reviews
Kristina worked as an intern with us, over in the Greenwich CT branch of the Audubon Environmental Center. I was her supervisor there and I respect her work ethic, she was a very hardworking employee. There were even a few times she'd watch my terrier Ziggy when I was in meetings. I can't speak too much on her experience with animals as she worked mostly in the office during her time with us. However, I trusted her with Ziggy enough to let her watch him all day and take him on his daily walks when I couldn't.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a very safe neighborhood in Greenwich CT. There’s a playground nearby and lots of beautiful streets to walk down. I also live conveniently close to a park that many people like to walk their dogs at. I have a sizable front yard and a small backyard. I guarantee your fur baby will have a great time in my neighborhood.

Information Kristina P. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences however if your dog has any physical injuries I should be aware of beforehand, please notify me. Similarly, if your dog has any behavior abnormalities for example phobias of any kind, please notify me beforehand.
A typical day
We can go on a walk to the beautiful Willowmere Lake, to the nearby playground, or to the Grass Island Dog Park in Greenwich. In the winter when the beach is open I can even take your dog to play there. I love spending time with animals and can keep your dogs entertained all day. Please let me know if your pup has any special activities they enjoy, whether it be fetch or going on runs.

Availability
I’m looking for work during the summer and during my college breaks. I do work part time but I pick my hours each week, so I can be flexible. As for cancellations, as long as they are made up until the night before, they will be refunded in full. If a cancellation is made the day of, I do charge a small cancellation fee.
