Devoted & caring animal lover!

Pet care experience

With a passion for animals that spans three decades, I am a dedicated pet owner and caregiver with a wealth of experience nurturing a wide array of furry and feathered friends! I currently have two beloved cats, Poppy & Petunia, and have also owned and cared for a variety of dogs, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish. I have provided unwavering devotion and love to animals of all shapes and sizes, and look forward to many more in the future. My journey has been enriched by volunteering at animal shelters including the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland, Lane County Animal Rescue, and Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco, where I honed my skills and developed a deep appreciation for the unique needs of senior animals. Whether it's administering medications, going on walks, providing companionship, or simply offering a warm lap to snuggle on, I am committed to ensuring the well-being and happiness of every creature under my care, regardless of age or species. With a reputation for being responsible and trustworthy, I approach every animal under my care with dedication and compassion, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Enriching their lives brings me immense joy, and I am wholeheartedly devoted to the welfare of all the animals I encounter. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions. I look forward to connecting with you and your animal!

Kristine was so great with our dogs! She communicated throughout the day and made the process really easy for us. We would recommend her to anyone in the area.

Kristine is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had to my two rescue dogs (greyhound and chihuahua mix). She’s punctual, so kind, and TRUSTWORTHY. I travel A lot and she has made having Pets so much easier and hassle free for us. We love her! Thank you Kristine!

It was my first time going on vacation and using the Rover app to hire Kristine to walk my three dogs. I was really nervous about it and requested a meet-and-greet. After meeting her, I knew my babies would be in good hands! My neighbors told me that they saw her taking my dogs for walks and how amazing she was playing with them in my backyard. I will definitely be requesting her services again next time I’m out of town.

Kristine is such a kind and loving person who loves animals and understands that we treat ours like our children. We went out of town for a few nights and she took care of our 3 dogs and cat at our home. When we returned they were happy and we could tell they were loved while we were gone. I trust her immensely with our “children.” She’s professional and the house was just as we left it. If you’re going out town, don’t hesitate to call her!
