Kristina can care for
Availability
I work part-time as an assistant and I create my own schedule so I am available to walk/pet sit most days. I have some recurring clients, but I have open days that I’d love to fill with more dogs and cats!

About Kristina V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I offer in-home sitting. I care about your pets and your home. I see it as my responsibility to take care of both and be as respectful as possible. I follow instructions very closely and make sure to double-check everything. I don’t offer boarding at this time due to my dog and cat. Our home is small and there’s not space to separate them should something happen.
Information Kristina V. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if any special instructions, care, triggers or quirks that your pet has so that I can be prepared when I arrive.
A typical day
I follow any instructions given. If you’d like walks every couple hours, or if you’d rather they use the yard for potty breaks, I will do as requested. I prefer to avoid dog parks with new clients, simply because I’d like to know the dogs behavior and have control prior to going into a chaotic environment.

Pet care experience
I’m Kristina — a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. From dogs and cats to other furry (and sometimes feathery) companions, I’ve always believed that pets aren’t just animals — they’re cherished family members. I currently share my home with a sweet pup and a curious cat, and I know firsthand how important it is to find someone reliable, attentive, and compassionate to care for your pets when you can’t be there. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or just keeping your pet’s routine steady and stress-free, I treat every animal as if they were my own. You can count on me to show up with patience, love, and a deep respect for your pet’s unique personality and needs. Let’s make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved — every step of the way.
Reviews
Kristina is always on time and does a great job with Cara, even despite Cara's post-surgical cone. I am always confident that my dog will be cared for well when she is out with Kristina.
Kristina is a wonderful dog walker. Cara loves her and does her happy dance every time she sees her.
Always a pleasure working with Kristina, she’s a wonderful communicator and does a great job looking after everything while we’re gone. I appreciate her flexibility and attention to detail. She’s so sweet to our boys and we always come home to happy pups!
Cara is always so excited to see Kristina when she comes to take her for their walks.
