Vashon Pet Sitter!

Pet care experience

Hi I am Kristine! My partner and I are Seattle transplants and I attend the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma for grad school. We have both always grown up around dogs and currently have a chocolate lab named Allen. All through college I house and dog sat for many families and I would really like to find a family that I connect with again. I currently work as an employment consultant for adult with developmental disabilities when not in school. We would love to watch your pets!

Kristine was great with my high energy border collie puppy. She obviously loves dogs, and was very communicative and understanding about my crazy pup.

Kristine was great. Our dog is VERY intense in her fear of people and while she likes other dogs, she can struggle with initial intros. Kristine worked with us as we tried to introduce the dogs and then when it still wasn’t going great, moved her dog inside so ours could relax for a bit. We took it slow, and then were able to leave our dog for a few hours as she wandered the huge gorgeous yard on a long leash. Kristine was patient, kept an eye on our dog while giving her space to relax in her own time, and we can’t wait to take our dog back.

I can't speak highly enough of Kristine, as I feel like we asked a lot of her. In addition to my dog, Manny, we had my girlfriend's dog, Oscar, who she rescued about a month ago. He is a great dog overall, but is still skittish in some situations, especially when meeting strange dogs. This manifests as territorial aggressiveness (Don't f**k with me) at first, although he quickly calms down when handled correctly. He showed off this side of his personality plenty when he met Kristine's dog, and anyone who was not a very confident dog handler or who didn't know doggie nature could have easily been worried that they wouldn't get along. Kristine clearly knows dogs and handled the situation beautifully and confidently. She was willing to the let the two of them work things out and get the stress out of their systems, and was able to help them quickly calm down and realize the situation was safe. They ended up having a great time, and I think it was a positive socializing experience for Oscar (and maybe her dog as well). I give Kristine the highest recommendation.

Kristine is absolutely wonderful!!! Buddha adores her kindness, attention and loving personality. She's a fantastic house guest, extremely respectful and clean. I can't say enough what a saving grace she is when I travel. Her daily updates/picture (per request) definitely comforts me while I'm away. I will recommend her always. We have established a great system, and she's nailed buddhas needs. Thank you Kristine for being awesome!!!
