A loving Licensed Vet Technician
Pet care experience
I've been a dog owner for over 10 years and have loved every moment. I've worked at a large dog daycare and boarding facility for a year and have done in home dog sitting and drop in visits, including dog walks for five years. I have experience with small animals, large animals, and exotic animals as well. I went to school for veterinary technology and am licensed through the state of Michigan to practice as a veterinary technician. I work at an animal hospital as an LVT in Southfield. I have opted to donate a percentage of my profits as a pet sitter to Old Dog Haven, one of my favorite charitable organizations. I have a great passion for senior pets and would one day like to open my own senior pet sanctuary for pets who are overlooked in shelters because their muzzles are gray and their eyes are a little cloudy. Senior pets often make some of the most loving and dedicated companions and I don't think any senior should have to live their golden years without a loving family to enjoy them with. I treat every pet as I would my own and can provide several excellent references. Leave your pet in the care of a medically trained professional and feel completely at ease! As of October 2017, I’ve gone through the steps and completed the continuing education to be a Certified Fear Free LVT! Ask me more about Fear Free!
Reviews
Kristine did great. It was my first time leaving my little girl alone while I traveled so I was quite hesitant and nervous. Kristine made it so easy and really allowed me to enjoy my vacation. I will definitely be booking with her again.
Kristine was great :) she is mature and calming. Both my dogs seem to really like, and be comfortable with her. We got multiple piscture update, which was awesome! I am already hoping to book her again!
Kristine was wonderful! She stayed at our home with our two dogs and cat while we were on a long vacation and we didn't worry one bit. She sent updates and photos and kept us in the loop the entire time. We would absolutely use her again!
Kristine was great. She was able to accommodate my last minute request to take care of my 2 senior dogs. She took care of them and provided me with updates/pictures, letting me know things were going well. She is very professional and made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care.

Safety, trust & environment
When I house sit I provide pet care tailored to each family. Whatever they need, I can accommodate. If it’s medication, daily walks, or trips to the park, this is all included in my fee.
Home
Information Kristine G. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences. I'm a vet tech so I love all breeds equally! I would like to know if your dog is up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. I don't require these things in order to sit for them, but it is helpful information to know before accepting a job.
A typical day
I'll take your dog on his/her regular route or I will happily venture out on new and unfamiliar territory! Plenty of new sniffs for your pup to enjoy! Does your dog have a favorite toy? Perhaps a ball that he/she loves to chase after and retrieve? I LOVE playing fetch with retrievers! Not interested in retrieving, but loves to play with a tug toy? Great! I love playing tug too!
