Pet care experience

Pets are family!

I am a medical student who loves to play and care for animals. I have been caring for all types of animals for the past 10 years, including but not limited to dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, hedgehogs, etc. I have personal experience caring and training my dog who was diagnosed with glaucoma which caused her to become blind in one eye. This means that I have to administer eye drops into her eye every night. I have trained her to go to her bed and sit patiently to allow me to input her eye drops peacefully in an exchange for a treat. In high school I also helped train puppies to become guide dogs for the blind. I am able to care for wild and rambunctious dogs to relaxed and care-free dogs. With these special skills and personal experiences, I will be able to ensure that your dog is cared for as if they are my own. I understand that dogs are a huge part of your family and will do my best to make sure they are treated with love.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

While I am unable to board / care for animals in my own home, I will be able to go to the pets home and care for them there. I can do house visits to feed or care for them in the home or take them out for walks around your neighborhood.

Kristina is amazing! She stayed a bit later when my train was delayed. She sent pics and was very communicative. Very sweet and kind :)

I would highly recommend Kristina! She is knowledgeable about dogs & extremely accommodating as a sitter for our newly adopted rescue with separation anxiety. She was willing to stay with him for a few hours while we peacefully enjoyed a friends housewarming, providing us plenty of pictures & updates!

I have always been one to only trust my friends and family with my pups so when the situation presented itself that I had no options, I hesitantly turned to Rover for the first time. This is where my pups met their new best friend. Kristina was a great communicator, a trustworthy person, reliable, and my babies loved her. She watched them at my house and I came home to happy, healthy pups and was able to enjoy myself on my trip with frequent updates, pictures, and videos from her to keep me updated. I will be definitely using her in the future!

We cannot say enough how much we appreciate Kristina. We have 3 dogs, one in which has Epilepsy and is timid with new people and with the first meeting with Kristina our boy loved her! Our other 2 love her as well and that was such a blessing. I highly recommend Kristina.

Schedule

As a full time student, I have flexibility in my schedule to fit in pet care into my weekly routine. I like to implement breaks into my study schedule and what good way to rest than playing/caring for animals!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kristina can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Are they reactive? Do the show signs of aggression towards other animals or people they don’t know. I do not have any breed preferences, I like ALL types of dogs and animals!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
