Great to meet you! I fill my work days with dog exercise and nourishing outdoor pet Care! As a pet mom myself, and an animal aficionada, I feel deeply and strongly that exercise and availability matter so much with our pets and environment. For dogs requiring training reinforcements, my focus concentrates on dog behavioral shifts and encouragement, modifications, energy harnessing, energy redirection, energy modifications. I work with: companionship, safety, exercise routines, holistic health, therapeutic strategies, and ailment-or-surgery recovery. I'm ready to start chatting about your pet baby's care. This is my career! Dog caretaking and dog visits, behavioral modifications, and recuperation are part of my full-time. I book with clients in residential neighborhoods, also concentrated apartment units, and businesses. I have time for new intros ($) with coordinated meet and greets, and training consults $. Note: lunch time walks are charged higher on weekends for 1 hour visits and higher for holidays. I newly specialize in custom training sessions, the first 3 with you involved, required. Meeting movement needs: I can customize a 1 hr 20 mins walk rate for you. Rover defaults to 30 mins, and to 1 hr, or prolonged, for house sitting. schedule: I have afternoon weekday and select weekends, and I will help serve your pet! cats and pups: please see my services page for cat pricing and puppy pricing which differ from regular adult dogs. Change: my prices will be varying based on my rotations, events, family, week's busyness, itinerary, and my gig and appointment load. please note that they'll be variable. Training sessions, stronger guidance, lunging or high pull dogs, high tug with safety precautions may incur *may a higher charge by $11 per 30 mins/ or session total. For: long house sittings, any challenging or intensive: parking, entry, or key situations or excursions I require instructions and a $6 upcharge per night. Some days I have deals. My rates will vary. Thank you for allowing me space and 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, pet et.al. I'm happy to see your dog or cat, walk your dogs plus give all sorts of positive interactions, and send you descriptions. I'm taking new booking as far out as end of Sept 2026. I come with a multipurpose experience and history with a dedicated, active, prey-sighted, runtastic dog in my past and cats of my own. :-) I cared alone for two pets for years. The overlap of dog + cat was about 3 years. I now live near 4 comfortable dog parks. If we're adding a meet and greet, my meet initial fee is $14.50, to consider my time reservation and effort, and to allow ease in my schedule. Please note, Rover company has their own variable ~ +/- 19-33% 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. Please book the category of "Drop-in visits": for: cats, for puppies, or grown dogs who cannot be outside! drop-in visits are for non walks. I reserve my time and location to do your house sitting, and I carve out this time for your pups and cats, therefore I implement a final-day cancellation fee applicable to overnights when canceled within 10 hours of the original earliest start time for house sitting. Fees: For bookings over $80 subtotal, a cancelation fee applies when the full, complete appointment is cancelled, please. This compensates me declining other jobs and clients. This fee is higher for holiday cancelations (for a booking that touches or includes any federal holiday/ banking holiday/fête, and vacances. I also apply a fee for dog walking when the walk is canceled within 3.75 hours of the start time. I am happy with my Rover experiences, and I'm happy to be one of your dog's assistants, walkers and supports. Your pets will receive enrichment, conversation, fresh clean water, and I'll keep them safe. Timings: Meet and greet hours are from 1PM- 8PM. Your address: please have your up-to-date, current full address added of your present place. It'll need your current address. I look for your pet owner profile to have recent images of your pets, clear pics of them, a veterinarian's info added or substitute vet too, emergency contact, and 2-3 pics of yourself! All Rover-booked services will end around the range of ...latest 7-8 pm for bookings. Thank you.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer drop ins and sitting at your-home daycare at your place. I offer drop-ins and regular walks. I am only doing flexible schedule drop-ins and casual walks! I cannot usually fit restricted time frames. Please not that very set times will not fit my work flow and routes. My work is best for medium and low energy dogs.

Drop-In Visits • juin 11, 2026

Kristine was fantastic! I sincerely appreciate her visiting multiple times to look after our dogs while I was at work. She was very communicative, and her genuine passion for dogs was evident in how she cared for ours. She sent lots of photos and kept me updated. I highly recommend Kristine, and we'd be happy to have her return in the future!

Kristine took great care of my dogs and my house and sent lots of updates! Have one senior with medical needs and one younger dog and they both were so happy to get to stay in the house while I was out and hang out with Kristine.

Schedule

I'm available M-Sunday for walks! Calendar Note: Cancellations for May 2026 will incur a minimum of $17 cancellation fee, This is because I reserve full time and I opt out of others, and I change itinerary maybe, do less at other jobs. and I make room and reserve our agreed booking. With consideration, I decline others and personal plans and local travel. I can set a meet and greet $ for a few questions for getting acquainted and a preview. the meet has a fee to cover my time reservation, driving/bus, and efforts.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kristine can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
I look forward to watching your fur family member. Your fur child will look forward to drop-ins and so will I. Thanks for browsing on Rover and seeing my page. I'm available everyday for a walk, particularly within 8 -13 miles of me! Any pet requiring high management or medically sensitive or vulnerable dogs have a surcharge of $9 per visit because of the level of heightened caution and vigilance.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
