Connecting with Animals Spiritually

Pet care experience

Always have had a natural connection with animals from house pets to farm animals since I can remember. Growing on my grandparent's ranch with a variety of animals and 5-7 dogs, I spent my time playing with the animals for fun. Having experienced all types of house pets growing up I learned responsibility and how to care for pets from a young age. I have also owned both dogs and a cat in my time. I have worked with a variety of puppies/dogs from large Wolfs and Boxers to Shihtzu and Poodles. I have also had experience with different breeds of cats. I understand the uniqueness within all breeds as well as each individual soul. I have experience with pregnant dogs and cats as well as caretaking after birth up to 8 weeks. Special dietary needs and administering meds is no problem for me and will be followed to a T.

Kristina is amazing! She stayed at our house for 5 days and took care of our dog while we were on vacation. Lots of communication, walks, pictures, our house was kept very clean and our dog got to play with her sweet dog Daisy. So lucky to have found her on Rover.

My Boxer Duke is a rescue and has serious nervous habits and episodes if triggered. Unsure how he would do with another dog I was hesitant at first to have a new and small dog around let alone a new person due to his drooling. After speaking with Kristina I felt safe to move forward, so they came out to Colorado and stayed with us for the month. It took a few days for the dogs to get used to one another which I believe is normal. Kristina would watch Duke for me on the weekends. Every morning I would find Duke sitting outside their room waiting for them to get up. As soon as Kristina and Daisy woke up they would play fetch to start the day, Duke thought this was the greatest. He would spend his whole day with them hanging out, going for long walks, and playing. I couldn't have asked for a better situation for Duke, it was a great experience for him we were sad to see them go. I ended up getting another dog for Duke after they left. They are always welcome back here. I would recommend them both, especially for pets that need a little extra attention.

Kristina is a good friend we asked to watch our brand new baby Charlene as she wasn't able to travel with us at the time yet. She sent us photos and videos, helping calm my anxiety and tears, leaving our NEW baby home! Charlene didn't even notice we were gone, I could tell she had a great time with her new friends. As a puppy Charlene was still being potty trained, after the 5 days with Daisy we noticed fewer accidents and new healthy habits. Thanks, Daisy!! My husband and I both were so impressed! We are sad they no longer live in our area, but when in town again we hope to let the doggies reconnect. I would recommend Kristina and Daisy without a doubt!

We were so lucky to have had Kristina and Daisy available to house sit and watch our Broadi (6yr old male cat), as we had our sitter fall through at the last min. It is a very stressful situation for Broady to travel, Kristina and Daisy were flexible with our request to stay with Broadi in his safe container. Kristina sent us photos over the weekend, showing Broady and Daisy hanging out and even playing together! I was so happy and surprised as Broady isn't very social with dogs or even many people. Daisy is a special sweet dog. Broady seemed very happy and we couldn't have been more pleased to return to a happy cat. Kristina is a very responsible and loving pet sitter, I would highly recommend her and Daisy.

I have a 6-year-old Morkie currently that is a galactic bundle of love. Tons of personality. She is friendly but chooses when she is ready to come around new people and pets, but once she does she will be your best friend. Daisy is fully house trained. Together we have held space for other pets that were rescued from abused situations to find healing and rebuild trust not only for the pet but their humans as well. Daisy thinks she is a cat-dog she LOVES cats but also knows how to respect their space. We stay active and have some great spots all over San Diego we love to go to walk, run, hike, and play. I am very on top of cleanliness, health, and relaxation for each animal while in my care. Reading what their individual needs are is my specialty! I have a small to medium size outdoor high fenced space both covered and uncovered. I also have a few small/med travel carriers and 2 small pet crates/kennels, with lots of cat and dog toys to play with!! I am a very consciously aware person I have many tools I have learned over the years, if my dog spoke English she would tell you she is living her best life! With this, you can fully relax with complete trust and confidence while away that your baby is having their own vacay. I am more than happy to share photos and videos of pets on vacay if desired. We can not wait to connect and share our love with your fur baby we look forward to meeting you!!!
