Hi, I'm Kristina! I've been sitting on Rover for nearly a decade and it has been the best! I understand as a devoted pet parent myself that it’s one thing to make sure an animal is fed and watered, and it’s another to genuinely care for them and give them love. The animals I care for get talked about at my dinner table and take up my whole camera roll. 🥰 Before getting on Rover, I’ve cared for my friends dogs and I've owned cats for my entire life. I have one cat who lives with me named Fessy, short for the Purrfessor. My cat has some allergies, kidney disease, and hairballs, so pets with special needs like that (pills, diets, fluid treatment, injected medicine, clean-up, grooming, etc) are no problem for me! I will send you the cutest pictures of your pets while you're gone- you'll be surprised at how photogenic they really are! Ps. I love love love large and x large breed dogs. My family has had St Bernards and I plan on one day owning a Bernese Mountain Dog! If you have me care for your gentle giant I will be leaping for joy!
