About Kristine U.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to meet your pet where they are most comfortable. I like to keep their routine as close to what they expect daily and perhaps a little extra play time or time outside.
Information Kristine U. would like to know about your pet
Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. Please let me know if they are reactive or need extra support from me to ensure we have a safe and comfortable time together.
A typical day
Every visit is dog dependent. I am an active person so I am happy to play with your dog or go for long walks but equally as happy to take them out and spend time with them in a calm manner if that’s their preference. I love spending time with all pets whether your pet is timid or affectionate or high energy. Whatever their personality is, I meet them where they’re most comfortable so that they know they are safe, secure, and well loved.

Grad student who loves pets
Pet care experience
I have been caring for family pets my whole life but I really became a dog parent in 2019. After graduating college, my friends all adopted pets and I’ve been pet-sitting ever since. This includes giving medication and managing pets who can be reactive. I genuinely love animals and currently can’t adopt my own due to my current lifestyle as a traveling grad student. However, I’d love the opportunity to spend time with your pets!

Reviews




Kristine is very communicative and our two dogs and two cats adore her. Our shy blue heeler even talks with her through her visits even though he normally is very standoffish.



Kristine was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog and two cats, keeping us informed regularly with photos and updates. She also took great care of our house and even offered to water the plants. She is kind, responsive and reliable. We would have her house/pet sit again in a heartbeat.
Kristine U. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Kristine was a fantastic sitter for our small zoo (2 cats & 2 senior dogs) for about a week. Our boys loved her, and we look forward to having her back soon!
