Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort at all times. Before starting, I gather detailed information about your pet’s preferences, routines, and any special needs. In my home, I ensure all areas are secure and free from hazards while maintaining a comfortable environment for your pets. For walks, I use sturdy, well-fitted leashes and remain attentive to avoid potential risks. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

Information Kristine H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, behaviors, or routines that I should be aware of to provide the best care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’ll make sure their unique needs are met with care and attention.

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of fun and enriching activities for your pet. We’ll start with a walk to explore the neighborhood and enjoy some fresh air. I’ll engage your dog in stimulating games like fetch or tug-of-war to keep them physically active. Depending on their energy level, we’ll unwind with cuddles or quiet time. I’ll ensure your dog feels loved, entertained, and cared for throughout the day.

Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust!

Pet care experience

I work from home so I’m able to provide care 24/7! In addition, I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My family and I recently lost our doggie to kidney failure, so there is currently no animals of our own in the house. My time volunteering at animal shelters has given me valuable hands-on experience, especially with dogs that require extra patience and specialized care. I genuinely love spending time with these furry friends and prioritize their happiness, comfort, and safety above all else. Your pet will be treated with the same love and attention I would give my own!

House Sitting • Jul 09, 2026

Kristine did an amazing job watching our Chihuahua, Scout. We booked the house sitting as our dog tends to do better in his home environment, and we were provided with a ton of feedback and photo updates to let us know that he was being taken care of. He was shown lots of love and care during this stay. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and I plan on rebooking again soon!

Kristine is the best dog sitter! Spookie enjoyed his visit very much. We feel so comfortable and know that Spookie is being very well taken care of. She is so accommodating and follows his instructions. Kristine is an excellent communicator. We will use her services again! We are a repeat customer.

Kristine was great! She got my dogs routine down perfect and knew just how to make her comfortable! My dog won’t eat if she feels nervous but she ate the entire time with Kristine. She sent pictures throughout her stay and kept me updated on how things were going. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again!
