Howling for Hope

Pet care experience

I believe that we can learn so much from dogs! They’re so selfless and giving, and the time spent in the presence of a loving pooch is unlike any other. That’s what inspired me to become a dog sitter! I have started selling dog and cat food at epic trade galaxy dot com, please visit my webpage and have epic savings for your paw family members. Pups need just as much love as we do, so I’ve always done what I could to give back to them. Being a dog sitter really is a dream come true! I love being able to put a smile on a dog’s face, and there’s just nothing quite like getting to know a pup’s personality. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! In addition to my experience as a dog sitter, I’m also a foster parent for dogs with special needs. It’s been such an amazing experience working with them, as I’ve really come to appreciate the special kind of love that a dog has when they require some assistance to make it through the day. My heart is especially open for these kinds of pups, and I can’t tell you how amazing it is to watch a pup that I’ve cared for transition to their forever families. It always is bittersweet to watch them go, but I always am happy to say that I did my best to make them as happy as can be. I love being a foster parent! I like to imagine that I am the most wonderful foster parent because I prepare for the stay long before it begins. I love animals and try my very best to put their needs first! I want to play and have fun as much as they do, yet I want to make sure we are safe, and loving all times. In addition to taking care of the pup’s needs, I always make sure that my human clients are taken care of as well. To that end, I always like sending tons of updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together. Likewise, I’m always available for any questions or concerns that arise—just reach out and I’ll be sure to answer promptly! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I spend time enjoying and watching dogs play and relax. I want to allow them to feel safe and secure at all time by monitoring them. I have a service dog trained at K 9 companions, she is very sweet and adorable. Loves to make new friends and play, when she is gets the chance.

Onyx and Bella had another wonderful stay! Kristina took them on multiple walks a day and also texted me videos and pictures throughout the day. Highly recommended!!

Just picked up our fur baby and we are so lucky to have found Kristina. We are already booking her for our next family vacation 😁 She was so good about keeping us updated with Jedi the whole time we were gone. We never worried once because we knew he was in good hands the whole vacation. We could totally tell from all the updates that Jedi was having a vacation of his own!

Kristina was fantastic. Throughout the entire process, Kristina was a great communicator. She sent me lots of pictures and updates on how my baby was doing. Knowing that Gizmo was in good hands while I was at an event was comforting. Kristina was also very attentive to my Gizmo's needs and made sure that he got plenty of exercise. I highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thanks, Kristina, for taking such great care of Gizmo!

Information Kristina P. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your dog try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup? Please if the dog has worms from flees or any other medical assistance or information to be aware of disclosing it with me. I will look into it and find out more information on protecting both of our dogs, and I will need to know how to protect my family from assisting you. No dog will be turned down unless there is a problem I can not find out a way to protect my service dog or if I can not find away to help safely.

A typical day

I try to love endlessly all my paw members, so your pup will be right at home with me if they enjoy getting lots of kisses and hugs! My favorite place is San Pedro by the port path . The lights at night are very relaxing, and the wind is so smooth and peaceful. I just love to bring dogs there! Otherwise, we can definitely head to one of the local parks, as there are so many wonderful new friends to meet. We’ll be bound to meet some new buddies in no time at all!
