We had a great experience with Kristina! She was so nice, accommodating, and kept me updated with pictures and videos of Chloe while we were gone, which I really appreciated. Kristina also has a puppy that Chloe absolutely fell in love with, so I know she had a ball! Since it’s been a while since I’ve had a puppy, Kristina was also super helpful with a few questions I had. Chloe came home happy and well cared for, and I already know Kristina and her family are going to be Chloe’s second family. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾💕

This is my 3rd time using this particular sitter. She’s the sweetest. I was so nervous my first and second time leaving my three babies. The second time my babies recognized the area and were so excited to come back. She has dogs and cats too. So Kristina is an animal lover herself. She has such a nurturing spirit. She has kids and they are so well behaved and sweet. Her youngest son and older son are my favorite. My dogs love going to her home. It’s always well decorated and seems like a fun place for them to be. When they come home they always sleep for two days as if they just left a fun cousin’s home. I would 100% recommend her. 10/10.

Accommodated my weird schedule, was so understanding of my modifications and did everything she could to accommodate my high energy Dog. If I lived in the area, I would go to her all the time!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Phenomenal Dog Sitter! Kristina was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I arrived, she went above and beyond—not only taking wonderful care of my fur baby, but taking care of me as well. Unfortunately, my car started running hot for the first time right after I pulled up to her house. That put me in a slight panic because I was headed to the airport. Kristina immediately came outside to check on me. She invited me into her home, gave me a bottle of water, and made sure I was okay. After introducing my fur baby to her family, she even offered to take me to the airport so I wouldn’t miss my flight. Because of her kindness and generosity, I was able to make my flight! While I was away, Kristina kept me updated with photos each day, reassuring me that my baby was doing well, comfortable, and adjusting to the other pets. That gave me such peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. Kristina did an amazing job caring for my dog, but what stood out even more was her genuine kindness and willingness to help when she certainly didn’t have to. You can truly tell that she has a servant’s heart and genuinely cares about both the pets and the people she serves. I am extremely grateful for everything she did and would absolutely trust her with my fur baby again. I highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet with love, compassion, and attention. She truly went above and beyond! ❤️🐾

Kristina was wonderful. She got Baraka to start using a bowl instead of a jar cap. We had not been able to use a bowl since Baraka would step into the bowl. She updated me regularly with videos. I would recommend her to anyone with a kitten.
