Highlights
Pet care experience
Animals are family!
Hello! We’re the Asakura family. My name is Kristina and I have loved and had many animals my entire life. I have loved and cared for pets for as long as I can remember, I started watching my neighbors sheltie when I was 6. Years ago my husband told me dogs can’t out number people in our house and that’s where “my” but really our rover journey began. Adding two kids and two cats to our family has been great. We still have plenty of love to go around, especially raising two animal loving kids. Our doggos are getting old, slow, and grouchy. They’re very loving but don’t really care to play with us or other pups anymore. They just want loves, treats, and to go on a short walk hear and there. We love watching dogs that enjoy going for walks and playing fetch! We love on and spoil every pet we welcome into our home. Pets are welcome anywhere in our home and even sleep with us or our kids. I do require a meet and greet prior to booking any request. This is the best way to get to know you and your fur baby/babies and answer all questions. Thank you for reading and considering me and my family to care for your pet while you are away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kristina is fantastic!! We don't trust anyone else to watch our German Shepherd, she is truly the best. Highly recommend!!
Kristina is so good with our pup Drax. She has learned his personality which can be more challenging with his hearing impairment.
Always leave my pups with great confidence that they are well loved while I am away.
Drax had another great day at Kristina's house. She is wonderful!
Kristina and her family are amazing! She is great at communicating and updating us, very knowledgeable and overall would highly recommend her. Thanks for taking such good care of our pup. We appreciate you!
I selfishly want to give a bad review so no one else books on days I want.lol Kristina was awesome with my senior pup! Went above and beyond with my prize child.

Schedule
My husband is up at 4 and lets everyone out to potty. The kids and I wake 6-7. I start feeding. All dogs are fed one at a time. If you happen to have a “grazer” I will fill their bowl and offer it throughout the day. We like to go for a morning-ish walk and come home for lunch and nap time. Dogs can be let out anytime throughout the day. If we leave the animals alone its usually for appointments or trips to the grocery store. We like to take a shorter walk in the evening after dinner around the baseball fields. Dogs are usually fed their dinner around 5. I make sure to let everyone out before bed and bedtime is 9.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is the most important thing to me. Having kids and pets I understand how hard it is to trust somebody with their safety. For this reason, I do not take in dogs that have been aggressive, resource guard, or are intact. All pets need to be up to date on all vaccines and flea and tick treatment. If your dog is not up-to-date on vaccines please do not get them right before the stay. It can upset your dogs stomach and give them diarrhea, so no fun for anyone. As for flea and tick meds no collars please and please do not use topical a week prior to dropping off your pet. This is to keep everyone safe. Our yard is fully fenced and the dogs are only let out to potty or play. Environment-I really want to ensure your dog will enjoy their time in our home. It’s the best feeling when owners tell me their dog knows when they’re coming and they see how excited they are! We try our best to do as you would at home, so if there are certain rules or schedules that you have, I would like to know. When I started river, I only watched one dog at a time. However, now I do watch more than one dog at a time. I try to have it where they are all repeat clients, and I’ve got to know the dog and their personalities. However, with first time clients occasionally there will be repeat clients where I know and trust the dogs just as I do my own. This is another reason meet and greet are so important.
