Information Kristina S. would like to know about your pet

Every dog is different. Whatever behavioral issues that the dog has - separation anxiety, dog aggression, medical issues can be discussed at the meet and greet. I prefer that the clients give me the names of veterinarians in case of emergency. I also like to know what toys the dog prefers to play with so that there is no break from their daily routine.

A typical day

I usually follow whatever guidelines the pet parent gave me. I have had clients with special needs dogs. I usually had to administer medication in these cases. I usually follow whatever routines you have at the meet and greet.

Pet care experience

I am a recent graduate of Catch Canine Trainers Academy and am open to giving feedback on training or behavior modification.If I have the solution, I am willing to do some training during my stay. We can discuss the details at the meet and greet. I love to walk and be around dogs. I have extensive experience as a shelter volunteer in Brooklyn and will always be ready with a treat and lots of pets for your pup. I have handled all types of dogs and am in this for the positive benefits of caring for dogs more than anything else. In my mind, it's a dog's world and we are here to nurture these beautiful creatures that just remind us of our own inner beauty and make us better people. We can learn alot from dogs and I am here to help make their experience special and to look after them as if they were my own.

I am so grateful I found Kristina! In the past I have had my senior baby Chloe stay at friends and then at a dog sitter. I get really uncomfortable with dog sitters that take in many dogs at one time. My preference was to ideally have someone stay at my house with my dog. Chloe can stay in the comfort of her own home while I travel. She is a senior dog who is deaf and has allergy issues. As much as my preference was to have someone stay in my house while away - I was naturally anxious about giving someone I don’t know well access to my house. Enter Kristina! We arranged our meet and greet and I liked her immediately and Chloe did as well! Kristina is a very caring person who truly loves dogs. After getting to know her a bit I felt totally secure having her stay in my house with my old baby girl. Kristina sent pictures and updates about Chloe .. Kristina was even kind enough to make a delicious Ukrainian borscht soup for me to have upon my return! My house was immaculate and my dog was comfy and well cared for! Kristina is a gem! I will definitely hire her again and again !

Wonderful sitter. She paid very good care of my cat and home. Was very attentive and left good notes after each visit. I would 100% use her again. Thank you very much Kristina

What can I say, Kristina Aka the Fairy Walker is probably the best Walker and caretaker for my dog child I've ever had. She's attentive, loving, and always puts the needs of the pups first. My son has epilepsy and needs medication 3 times a day, so although I have a furbo to help with this, regardless she still makes sure to physically be there. She's amazing at sending updates, and I can completely trust her with my home. Kristina definitely goes above and beyond and I highly recommend her!!
