I love all pets, big and small.

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Kristopher Vladyka and I'm located right by the Bangor airport. I have years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats, as well as smaller animals such as rodents. I've been around pets for most of my life and I have been a pet owner for years. I have been a professional Sitter and Boarder on Rover since August 2021. Through my time as a professional pet sitter and pet boarder I have taken care of many different breeds, such as Maltese, Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Labradoodles, Pitbulls, Boxers, Labs, Beagles, pugs, etc. I have also gained invaluable experience taking care of young puppies, elderly dogs, and dogs with special needs. I can administer oral medications as well as lift and carry dogs up to 50 pounds. With every client I try to go above and beyond during the stay. You can expect good quality pictures of your lovely pet as well as detailed updates on how the stay is going. Your pet will always come first when they are in my care, and will always be prioritized during the stay. Their happiness and safety matter most to me. I also take emergency or same-day bookings if my schedule allows for it, so if something happens please shoot me a message and I will do my best to work with you! **If you have financial issues, my pricing can be negotiated. I do this for my love of animals first and foremost, and I want to help people who need it, so please don't hesitate to ask about pricing if you can't afford the listed price.

Kristopher was an amazing host while boarding my dog Versace. It was his first time being boarded and I could tell Kristopher made him super comfortable. He gave me plenty of updates and pictures during his stay and was also very polite with me and my husband. He made this a very comfortable experience for myself and Versace and I will definitely be boarding with him again next time I need it. If I could give him 10 stars I would!

Kristopher was absolutely fantastic with my baby girl. She has only ever stayed with one other sitter, so I was nervous, but from the moment he walked to my car to drop off till pick up I felt completely comfortable. He was caring, compassionate, and messaged me with any concerns or questions which put my mind at ease he sent me so many great pictures of her stay with him, I would highly recommend this young man to anyone who wants excellent care for their pups 💓

Kris was great but my dog was sad and confused. We never left her with a stranger before.

Kristopher was great! He kept me updated each day with pictures and how Zoe was doing! She definitely had a great time with him and I felt at ease with her there!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very safe neighborhood, however my yard is not fenced, so any dogs will need to come with a leash and collar or harness. I have experience walking large breeds and am okay with some tugging. As I do live in an apartment building, and my apartment is on the second story, there are stairs going up to my apartment. With small to medium breeds, if your dog doesn't mind being picked up, I have no problem carrying them up and down the stairs during their stay. Your pet will be safe in my care, as I have the time to keep my eyes on them and make sure they're both happy and healthy during their stay with me. I will be able to follow the feeding schedule/routine that is given to me for the pet and I will never ever give any pet food (outside of what's packed for them) or treats without explicit permission from the owner first unless prior permission is given (such as treats being packed for the pet in my care).

Information Kristopher V. would like to know about your pet

Dietary needs if I'm watching your dog, any medications they take, and if they get along with cats. I will also need to know how much exercise they need, and if you have a specific schedule for them that you want me to keep to. I also need to know if they're allowed treats, what treats they like, and if they come with their own toys. I also need to know if they are aggressive at all or if they are destructive. At this time, I cannot take in dogs that are aggressive towards people.

A typical day

I live in a beautiful neighborhood that is perfect for walking your dogs in. There are also plenty of parks nearby that your beloved pooch and I can explore together. Many great things that your curious dog will be able to sniff and many wild birds for them to bark at. I can promise that your dog will have a great time in my care. I may live in an apartment but there is plenty of outdoor space and enough space inside for indoor playtime on rainy days.
