Pet care experience

Full time pet BFF!

Hi there! I’m Kristine, a proud cat mom to my sweet girl, Pookie, for the past two years. I also cared for my ex-boyfriend’s cat for five years and often cat sit for friends, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of feline personalities. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, keeping up with their routines, or administering medications, I’ll make sure your cat feels safe and loved while you’re away. 🐾🤍

Kristine was amazing as always! She’s the only cat sitter I call when I’m going out of town. Super responsive, takes lots of photos, and even ran my keys over to me late at night when I got locked out the day I returned from vacation!! She’s the best!!

Kristine Gem is truly a gem! She was very reliable and communicative, sent tons of pics, and took great care of our pup. Would definitely have her watch our pet again. I am grateful for her. Thank you!!

Kristine is absolutely fantastic! She took wonderful care of both our dogs, handling their walking and feeding routines perfectly. I felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such capable, loving hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter!

I always make sure pets feel comfortable and safe by keeping their routines consistent. I give them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention, and I’m attentive to their eating, litter box, and medication schedules. I treat every cat like my own!

Pets

A typical day

We will spend our time playing, exploring, and relaxing together. We’ll go on walks around the neighborhood or visit nearby parks for fresh air and fun. At home, we can play fetch, chase toys, watch birds by the window, or curl up for cozy cuddle time. Whether it’s an energetic day or a calm one, we always make the most of our time together.
