Certified trainer, Sitter & Dog Mom

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Kristine, I am a dog mom; dog foster mom; dog trainer, dog sitter and dog lover! I am eager to meet and care for your dog(s)! I live in Charlotte with my 2 year old male Chihuahua/Toy Fox Terrier, Frankie. I am home full time and able to provide around the clock care for your pups! I have a spacious yard for exercising, playing and lounging around enjoying the fresh air. I live on a dead end street across from the lake. I take the dogs for lots of walks around the neighborhood; the park; the beach and trails. I have experience with many breeds and temperaments. Dogs with special needs are always welcome as well as those requiring medication administration, including insulin injections. I am certified in first aid and CPR for dogs. I have over 30 years experience with my personal dogs; 15 years experience dog sitting; 12 years experience volunteering with local rescue; and 9 years experience as a Dog Obedience Trainer, receiving my certification from Animal Behavior College. I strive to keep your dog as close as possible to their home schedule for feeding; walking; sleeping; and any other scheduled or special requirements they have. If your dog is allowed on the furniture at home, he is welcome to do so here as well. Sleeping on the bed is also allowed if ok'd by you. Your dog will have free roam in the house. Thank you for taking the time to read and I look forward to caring for your pup. Why I love dog sitting I am so very passionate about dogs and their well being. I've owned dogs all of my adult life as well as having them in our family when I was a child. They are loyal, funny, entertaining, smart, curious, therapeutic animals who love you unconditionally. They are beautiful creatures that I love to be around daily. I enjoy sitting for dogs because I want them, and you, to have a happy experience! I typically board 1-2 dogs at a time, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and personalized care. My experience administering medication Yes, I often administer medication, including insulin injections.

Kristine was awesome. This was my first time leaving my dog anywhere overnight, and I am so happy with how it turned out. She genuinely cares for the dogs she boards. I felt good knowing my baby girl was in such good hand. I will definitely be using her services again.

This was our first time using Kristine for Cooper and he loved her. He was with her for a little over a week which was stressful but, she helped me relax by sending daily updates and pics❤️ He has been home for 24 hrs and has settled in nicely. I would recommend her!! Kristine, thank you and Frankie for having our Coopie?
