I Believe LoVe Is a 4 Legged Word

Pet care experience

3 Decades of Loving Dogs, Cats, Horses, Rabbits, Birds, Fish & Ferrets lead me into this business. 7 years ago my two dogs passed and I have been a surrogate ever since. Eventually, I plan on getting another puppy or two or three, and maybe even a Silky Chicken, but for now it is all about Being there for you and your Furry Children. Now you may have noticed my Rates are a little higher than other Rover participants. The reason for this is because.... I am a full time Canine Trainer. Yes, that’s my real job. So incorporating that into my Rover services brings the “Level of Service” provided to you and your pet by me will surpass any Services received from another Rover Associate that does not possess my Skills, Knowledge & Experience. •••••My Promise to you••••• They will be loved, cared for and watched after as if they were my very own. If invited to sit at your home, I will perform all routine duties Including feeding, walking, jogging (if the dog likes to run rather than walk) . We can go hiking or swimming, I like to go to a nearby park and play fetch or Frizbee .Speak up and let me know of any quirks your pet may have or anything special your Pet requires needs or likes. NOTE: I will be present during the entire time I am scheduled. I'm very familiar with separation anxiety signs and remedies. If Your baby has meds that need administered "No Worries" I will handle it without a hitch - Also here in Arizona we MUST be very aware of the critters roaming around & of their hiding places. I've worked with a training team for animal defense against threat worthy wildlife so they are in the best of hands with me!! ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ **I have many fun "BONUS SKILLS" too, which include the following,: 10 years experience in Canine Training, So if hired to walk your pet and your having problems on leash ( ex: pulling) I can work with your dog during daily walks to help alleviate the problem. If you have an aggressive one, NO PROBLEM. I can train him/her how to be gentle and not so agro (all following a positive reinforcement approach).. 5 years experience in Dog Grooming (basic haircuts, nail trimming, & cleaning ears etc....)

Kristine was great! It is hard to leave your pet and we found a happy feline when we returned. Also enjoyed the pictures of him everyday.

I was so appreciative of her texts and photos, which kept me posted on how my dog was doing and made me smile to know he was out enjoying his walk!

We have a senior dog with many special needs and meds, and Kristine was able to accommodate everything we asked and more. Would recommend her to anyone nervous about leaving a needy pet behind while on vacation!

Kristine is an absolute treasure! We had never used Rover before and had a to go out of town for an extended period of time. She took all the stress out of being away. I literally can't imagine a better person to have taken care of our dog -- and also our house. She was so responsive, sent amazing updates and photos, and seemed to really care about our dog's wellbeing. I would recommend her to anyone. She is an amazing person with a big heart. We feel lucky to have met her.
