Safety, trust & environment

I would care for the animals I service in their own home environment. This is where the pet feels the most safe and comfortable. To me that is important.

Information Kristine S. would like to know about your pet

I’m highly adaptive. My first priority is to learn your pet’s 'language.' If you give me the blueprint for their routine, I will follow it to the letter—whether that means being their favorite playmate or their calmest protector.

A typical day

I'm kind of a kid at heart and have lots of energy. I can provide high-engagement care for active breeds. I'm also an excellent napper and am ready to snuggle up for nap time.

Pets

Dogs are so much fun to be around!!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with a variety of dogs in my home. I would give them love, clean up after them, feed them and of course play with them. I had dogs of all sizes and personality types, (mostly mutts).

Kristine was amazing! She really took the time to make sure my girl did not miss me! She even made sure my place was mopped and swept before I got home. Definitely above and beyond!

Kristine was very responsible taking care of our dog and home while we were gone for 4 days. In fact, more than we expected. We will definitely want her to take of Boots again when we need a dog sitter.

Kristine is a warm and caring individual and my dogs picked up on that immediately. She was fantastic with our three German Shepherds. She took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She was respectful of our property, cleaned up after herself and the dogs, and went above and beyond by mopping up after a rainstorm and even throwing linens in the wash before we returned. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so thoughtfully. Great communication, too. I would absolutely book Kristine again and highly recommend. Kristine, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for putting up with all the shedding, the Shepherds were dropping their coats like crazy.

Kristine is a compassionate caregiver of both animals and humans. Her attentiveness to both makes their experience comforting and personal. Leaving your pet in her care is one less thing you will need to worry about if you can't take them with you.
