Highlights
Pet care experience
Private Luxury Dog Boarding
Growing up with dogs taught me something early: pets are family. Outside of my full-time remote tech consulting gig, I provide high-touch based pet care for families throughout Westchester and Manhattan. My goal is simple: create a calm, trusted second home where your dog feels genuinely safe and loved. I intentionally keep bookings limited so every dog receives individualized attention, consistency, and companionship. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, senior, recovering from surgery, or simply loves a calm environment, I tailor care around their exact routine and personality. What makes Kristine different: ✓ 100% work-from-home flexibility ✓ Fenced backyard + Hudson River walks ✓ Real-time photo/video updates ✓ Pick-up/drop-off assistance available ✓ Medication administration experience ✓ Senior & post-surgery support ✓ Calm, low-volume household ✓ Overnight house sitting with light home care included For pet parents who home-cook meals, I’m also happy to prepare fresh dog meals in my home using your provided ingredients. For house sitting clients, I believe premium service should feel complete. In addition to caring for your pet, I help maintain peace of mind by bringing in packages/mail, taking out trash, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy. I’m building long-term relationships with both dogs and their owners. Many of my clients become repeat families, and that trust means everything to me. Let’s schedule a meet & greet and see if we’re a great fit for each other. 🤍

Ratings and reviews
Kristine took great care of our little dog. She was very communicative and sent frequent updates. She also went out of her way to pick him up and drop him off, which was a huge help!
Kristine was truly great. She dog/house sat for over a week and kept us informed of our pup’s doings everyday (with pictures). Our home was just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for more and will be hiring Kristine again for our next trip.
Kristine was wonderful! Our dog Murph received the best care while we were away on vacation. Kristine was very communicative and flexible from planning to drop-off. We received lots of photos and daily updates while we were away. We highly recommend Kristine if you're looking for someone to look after your pets!
I'm so grateful for Kristine and her help with my foxhound Cersei. I'm a single dog-parent and Cersei is a lot of work. Kristine is punctual, attentive, includes photos (in which Cersei is always smiling), and goes above and beyond to make sure Cersei is cared for. I can't recommend Kristine more highly!
Kristine was great - communicative, friendly and took very good care of our girl. We’ll be back!
Kristine was great. Very communicative & helpful, sent lots of pictures, and our dog had a great time! We'll definitely use her again!

Schedule
My work-from-home schedule provides complete flexibility for boarding, house sitting, walks, feeding, and bathing. I have my own vehicle to help with pick-ups and drop-offs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home has a fenced backyard, and located close to the Hudson River, offering safe outdoor access and scenic trail walks. For house sitting, I maintain your pet's exact routine in their familiar environment while also helping collect mail/packages, watering plants, and light cleaning to ensure you return to a tidy home.
A typical day
Activities are tailored to your dog's personality and energy level. High-energy pups get park visits, swimming, fetch, and backyard play. Calm / senior dogs enjoy Hudson River walks and yes ~ plenty of couch cuddles are included. Since I work remotely full-time, dogs are never left alone for extended periods and receive consistent companionship, supervision, and interaction throughout the day.
