With a new decade comes new opportunities. As I step away from the hustle and bustle of busy life, I’ve shifted gears back to what I truly love—caring for people and their beloved pets. I have a wide-open schedule as I build my clientele and earn your pet’s trust and friendship. I’m very organized when it comes to scheduling—I always strive to be on time and efficient, so your pet’s routine stays smooth and happy!

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.

Information Kristine O. would like to know about your pet

I have had decades of experience providing personal care for pets that have a variety of needs. I want the dog to miss you but not TOO much and I need to know their likes, dislikes, fears and faves to help build a good relationship ;) the more details the better!

A typical day

I meet them where they are at! Every dog is different and meeting new people can require different levels of energy and stress. My goal is to ensure I meet their emotional and physical needs and ensure a healthy balance of mental and physical drain :)

Your Pet’s Second Favourite.

Pet care experience

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.

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.
