Happy to take care of your fur baby

Hi, my name is Kristina and I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in liberal arts from CSUSM. I am the biggest dog lover you will ever meet! I have a lot of experience working at dog kennels so giving your dog the best care is my number one priority! I live with my husband in a house in Oceanside with a big fenced in backyard so big dogs will have plenty of room to run around and stretch their legs. I have four fantastic, sweet, playful, loveable dogs of my own that just love to meet new friends! About this sitter: I am a professional and experienced kennel operator; I have been trained in animal behavior and safety. I absolutely love dogs and all other furry animals and will give your fur baby all the love, attention, and exercise he or she needs to be happy while your away. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was a baby; my first word after "mom" and "dad" was "dog". When I was younger I wasn't allowed to have a dog because my dad was allergic, so I am definitely making up for lost time. My first dog was a black lab mix named Jet. I loved him and taught him how to do dozens of tricks, he was then adopted to become a service dog for a little boy with epilepsy. It was hard to let him go but it was great knowing he had a purpose in a young boy's life. My first summer job was at a dog grooming shop and since then I worked at Petsmart Petshotel and a kennel in Valley Center, these jobs gave me a lot of experience and knowledge that I am truly grateful for. Now I'm in the doggy business for myself! Meet my pets I have 4 amazing dogs, 3 big and one little. VInny is our old man and gets along with everyone. He's a silly boy who chases his tail and loves to fetch. Mocha is the sweetest girl in the world, gets along with everyone, is super obedient, smart, and calm. Ranger is our bad boy, he is super energetic and wild, chews things up and gets into everything but he is super fun to play with. Other dogs love him and he loves other dogs, especially the ladies. Penny is our little bulldog, she is a little feisty thing! She thinks she's a big dog and likes to play like it! About my yard We have a huge special fenced in yard just for the dogs. It has a dog house, doggie cots, turf, and eucalyptus trees for shade. My experience administering medication I am both comfortable and experienced in administering medicine to dogs.

I am so grateful for Kristina! First... in a sea of bios claiming to love dogs, Kristina's is the only one with experience in the industry, making me comfortable with her knowledge in handling sensitive dogs. I needed a last minute sitter, and Kristina was able to accommodate. My sensitive pup even let her lay in bed with him! I appreciate Kristina's responsiveness, ability to accommodate, experience, and gentle soul! Thank you!

Kristina is 100% the best dog walker I’ve ever had! My dog LOVES her and he is always nice and tired after walking with her which I really appreciate. She is reliable, timely and I would use her every day if I could! You can definitely trust Kristina with your fur baby, she’s amazing.

Kristina First of all I want to say thank you so much you have no idea how much you really did for me and all our fur babies! Second of all I also want to say sorry it took to long for this review. By you taking so great care of sneakers and Batman You put me at ease to ask you for more time when while we were on vacation our little 6 no old yorkie was diagnosed with a rare disease and we had to drive from florida to University of Auburn Alabama for treatment! Without you I would have never been able to do that and so I will forever be grateful not enough words can be said so with that said again THANK You?? Pam

I love all dogs of every shape and size. I would prefer the dog to be friendly with other dogs so that they can all play and get along nicely. However, if a customer has a little dog and prefers them not to be around big dogs I do not have a problem separating them.
