My moving parts in my life are my kids and their stuff. For that reason, I’m an active gig economy worker. I drive for Amazon Flex. I have an Amazon store. I heard about Rover as a gig opportunity and I knew right away that this would be a perfect addition to my gig lifestyle. My life is super flexible. I can meet any potty schedule. If your dog needs frequent potty breaks, my life accommodates easily.

Safety, trust & environment

I will give your dog a ton of love. I’ll scratch him behind the ears. I’ll rub his belly. I’ll play fetch. I’ll spoil him. I take time to bond with dogs right away so they know they’re safe with me. I like to spend the first half hour with new dogs giving them love and treats so they know they will be loved and cared for. Then I like to take them outside so they can get used to playing with me.

Information Kristina R. would like to know about your pet

Dogs typically follow me around everywhere so Moderate energy is great. I love lazy dogs, too. I love all sizes and breeds as long as they’re settled into adulthood. I appreciate if you’ve trained your dog to not pee/poop in the house, stand up/jump up on people, surf counters, or chew on shoes. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like, but some behaviors can be frustrating and exhausting for me, especially for lengthy stays. I bond well quickly with anxious dogs.

A typical day

Weather permitting, we’ll spend time outdoors. Dogs tend to follow me everywhere I go. I’ll play fetch. I will take him out in the yard or on a leash several times daily or to a dog park. I like to sit outside and work on my laptop. Dogs like to nap on the porch next to me or go out in the sun and spread out for a nap. We’ll also be lazy together in the living room when we feel like it.

I already love your dog!!!

Pet care experience

I’m 48 years old and I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I don’t have a dog now because they require too much commitment for all of the moving parts of my life. I miss having a dog in the house so much!! Let me borrow your dog! I’m always the go-to family member/friend for dog sitting.

Kristina took great care of our two adult rescue dogs! She provided great daily updates and the dogs seemed very happy in her care. Much appreciated and hope she can care for them again!

Kristina was great with Moose (he can be anxious with new people and was immediately comfortable with her). She provided regular updates and it was clear Moose was having a great time!

This was our first time using Rover for dog/house sitting for our doggo and we are SO glad it was with Kristina. She was incredibly responsive and sent videos and updates when we were hiking off grid. I knew our pupper was in good hands and she looked so happy the whole time. We will absolutely be using Kristina in the future for worry free stays with our precious Daisy.
