Dog-Lover Seeks Dogs to Sit For

Pet care experience

I've been a dog lover my whole life! I've had my own dog since I was 24 years old. Before that I had a family dog growing up. For almost 17 years I had a Boston Terrier. In the time that I had her, I administered various medication and care. I trained her as a puppy at 8 weeks old and took care of her as a senior dog when she was blind and deaf with doggie dementia. I have experience with all ages of dogs.

Kristine took such great care of Sam and made him feel right at home in no time at all. We hope for a repeat visit and play date with her sweet dog Jameson.

This was our first time having Kristine watch Old Becca but it won’t be the last! Great communication, flexibility, etc!

Kristine was great! She took great care of my pup and was so understanding when he had accidents (from excitement). She was very communicative and sent videos/pictures everyday with a status update. I would highly recommend and will definitely have her watch my pup in the future.

Walks at least 3 times a day in a very dog-friendly neighborhood! I have a 4-year-old boxer mix. He is a rescue who is very sweet, but a bit timid at first. He loves to play with other dogs, though! Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have a stake that allows my dog (and any doggie visitors) to enjoy the outside on a tether with supervision, of course! My pup loves to bathe in the sunshine. I live within 10 minutes walking distance of Shirlington dog park. So lots of play time options!

Information Kristine M. would like to know about your pet

What does he/she love to do the most? Where does he/she prefer to sleep? How often and how much does he/she eat? How well does he/she get along with other dogs? How many times a day does he/she usually go for a walk? Is she/he house-trained? Do they take any medication that I need to administer?

A typical day

We'll walk around my neighborhood, which is very dog friendly! We can also go to the dog park, if that is a good fit for your pup. We'll play lots of fetch. Your dog will have lots of fun playing with my pup, too!

I work full-time as a teacher. During the school year, I'm gone from 8:15am-4:15pm M-F. I do have a dog walker that comes between 11-1 to provide a 15 minute walk. She is able to take 1 other dog with her. On the weekends I'm usually home most of the time and love spending it with my pup!
