Information Kristina W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how comfortable your dog is with other dogs as well as the rest of the basics that would let me give the best care possible. This can include usual activity level, medication needs, dietary needs, etc.

A typical day

I live alone so your pup will get plenty of attention. I work from home full-time. If your pup is dog-friendly we would welcome him into our pack and he would have plenty of friends to play with while I am gone. When I get home, we make walks and play a priority so he will have plenty of exercise and social time throughout our time together. Send me a message and let’s get started! If your dog enjoys swimming, they can take a dip in my pool during the summer!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Kristina — your dog’s next favorite sitter! 🐾 I’m a passionate dog lover, experienced foster mom, and full-time pet sitter through Rover. I share my home with several pups — some my own and some I foster through the Fetching Tails Foundation, where I regularly volunteer. I’m certified in pet CPR, first aid, and dog nutrition, so your furry family member is in great hands with me! I recently moved for my dogs — yes, really! Their happiness comes first, and our new two-story home with a fully fenced backyard has been a game changer. It gives them the freedom to play, roam, and relax safely, and I know your pup will love it too. I work from home full-time and live alone, so your dog will get tons of attention. If your pup is dog-friendly, they’ll join a fun, friendly pack with plenty of playmates. Playtime is a big part of our daily routine — rain or shine, we get those tails wagging! I’ve been described as fun, organized, and adventurous — and I bring that energy into my pet-sitting style. I communicate regularly, follow your care instructions closely, and love all breeds, ages, and sizes. No discrimination here — seniors and big dogs are just as welcome as tiny puppies! If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, I’d love to help. Send me a message and let’s set up a meet-and-greet! 🏡 Home Details: Fully fenced backyard Two-story home with plenty of space Dogs are never left alone outside — I supervise playtime Furry friends available for company (if your dog is social)

Kristina was amazing with Bear! Very accommodating with the short notice and the communication, we will definitely be leaving Bear again in the future. Her knowledge and love for dogs shows in their care. Thank you Kristina!

Kristina did a great job with our boys. They loved being out on the deck in the sun.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
