Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet’s Second Favourite.
With over a decade running my own dog training and pet care business, I bring a unique mix of experience, education, and heart to every pup I care for. I’m a certified professional trainer, pet first aid certified, and Fear Free Handling graduate, with a soft spot for seniors, rescues, and dogs who need a little extra understanding. From puppies learning the ropes to older dogs needing meds or mobility support, I adapt to each dog’s needs and personality. My care is calm, structured, and rooted in trust—because your dog deserves more than just a sitter. They deserve someone who gets them.

Safety, trust & environment
I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets is a big trust. I take great care to respect your space and routine, keeping everything tidy and as you left it. I learn your pet’s usual habits and environment so I can spot any changes in behavior or health and respond quickly. For me, caring for your pet means treating them like a beloved family member—giving them attention, respect, and comfort while you’re away. I’m committed to making both you and your pets feel safe, secure, and confident in my care.
Ratings and reviews
Kristine recently looked after all 8 of my pets while I was away on holiday, and I couldn't be more grateful. My dog already knows her family, so I was fortunate she was able to stay with them. Kristine visited my home 2–3 times a day to care for my five cats and two parrots. A couple of my cats require different doses of the same medication, and one is on a special diet—Kristine handled all of that with care and attention. I returned home to happy, healthy cats and spotless litter boxes. Although cleaning the parrot cages wasn’t part of what I hired her for (one of them is a Macaw cage, which is no small task), I was pleasantly surprised to find them clean, too! Kristine went above and beyond, and I’ve never had such amazing pet-sitting service. I truly hope she continues offering drop-in visits and pet care—she’s a gem!
Kristine always takes amazing care of my 2 kitties. She is awesome with my girl that has many medical needs. I always feel assured they are being well loved and cared for when I am away.
