Let's Begin Walkin!Active, detailed

Pet care experience

I'm Kristine. I book with pets in Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Mountain view, and western sj (for proximity to my other appts). I work 5-6 1/2 days a week. I'm open to brand new dogs, puppy work, and cat clients. I have time for intros, coordinated meet and greets, and to schedule new, safe, leash walks! lunch time walks are charged higher on weekends for 1 hour visits. I can customize a 50 min walk rate for you! schedule: I have middle of the day availability, and weekends and I will help and serve your pet child. cats: please see my services page for cat pricing and puppy price which sometimes differ from regular dogs. my cat rate covers a 40 min visit (I give added time, more than the default Rover 30 mins.) Also my care prices will be Varying based on my week's busyness, itinerary, and my gig busyness and appointment load. thank you. please note that they'll be variable. Training sessions and any stronger guidance or high pull dogs with safety precautions may incur a higher charge by $7 per 30 mins and by $15 per hour. Some days I have deals. Thank you for respecting the fluctuations. prior clients, please message me about rates if you have interest and concerns. please ask me if i have a current, same day drop in or walk cancellation fee. my services are for daysitting at your place, dog walking, and dog drop-ins, feedings, medication, soothings, play, et.al. I'm happy to regularly see your dog or cat, walk your dogs, plus give them all sorts of positive interactions that they wag about. I come with a multipurpose experience and history with a dedicated, active, prey-sighted, run-tastic dog in my past and a spontaneous and calm cat of my own. :-) I cared alone for two primary pets solo for years. The overlap of dog+cat (dog adopted first) was about 3 years. I live near 4 comfortable dog parks (one is more of a run) in Sunnyvale and Santa Clara. $ If we're adding a meet and greet, my overall initial fee has an added $13 adjustment to the first visit/walk to consider my time reservation and effort, and to allow ease in my schedule. Thanks! Please note, Rover company has their own variable ~8-19% proprietary upcharge (service fee) from a sitter's/walker's base rate. your grand total estimate By rover will vary extraordinarily from a sitter/walker's set rate. Pls book the category of "Drop-in visits" for: cats, and for puppies or grown dogs who cannot be outside! drop in visits are for non walks. logistics: I reserve my time and location to do your house sitting, and carve out this time for your pups and cats. I implement a final-days cancellation fee applicable to advance overnights when canceled within 11 hours of the original earliest start time for house sitting. Doesn't apply to bookings created at the last minute. this fee is higher for holiday cancelations (for a booking that touches any federal holiday+Valentines). I also apply a fee for dog walking when the walk is canceled within 5 hours of the start time, thank you for reading. When an advanced booking is canceled in the final days, my flow is impacted. I am happy with my Rover experiences. I'm happy to be one of your dog's walkers and entertainers, and to support your cats to feel happy at home while you're at work or play. Your pets will receive: enrichment, conversation, fresh clean water, and I'll keep them safe around squirrels, other dogs, bikes and more. Thanks for looking! I look forward to replying to you about your cats and dogs. Meet and greet hours are from 11:45A - 5P. please have your up-to-date address added. I look for your pet owner profile to have recent images of your pets, clear pics of them, a veterinarian added, and 4 pics of yourself! All services will end around the range: 6:15 for drop-ins and walks.

Kristine was great! She took good care of our kitty, sent us lots of photos, and was extremely considerate with our home. We would love to work with her again!

I can’t say enough nice things about Kristine- she’s just a delight to work with! I reached out with a last-minute, emergency request to care for my kitty, Julius. She responded quickly and agreed to help. I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy my planned trip without her. Just knowing that she was visiting every day put my mind at ease. Thank you Kristine. I owe you BIG!
