Professional Vet Tech Trained Care

Hello! I’m Krystina, a trained Veterinary Technician and certified groomer. I’m passionate about providing the highest quality care and plenty of love for your furry family members. Pets aren’t just a job for me; they’re a lifelong passion. My professional training gives me a deep understanding of animal behaviour and health, allowing me to offer expert care that goes beyond standard pet sitting. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, cherished, and spoiled with affection while their owners are away. I share my home with a wonderful, active Border Collie named Charlie and a high-energy kitten. This means I’m completely in tune with the unique daily needs, routines, and personalities of both dogs and cats. My home features a fully fenced-in backyard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to safely run and play. Whether your pet needs high-energy exercise, structured playtime, medical monitoring, or just a quiet cuddle session with endless belly rubs, I tailor my entire day to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Choosing the right caregiver is a big decision, and here’s what sets my care apart: **Professional Expertise:** As a Veterinary Technician and certified groomer, I bring a deep understanding of animal health, safety, and proper handling to every service. **Affectionate, In-Home Care:** I prioritize your pet’s emotional well-being just as much as their physical health. They’ll receive dedicated attention, plenty of playtime, and all the snuggles they can handle. **Medical & Wellness Knowledge:** I’m highly comfortable identifying subtle signs of stress, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and handling specialized care or medications if needed. **Peace of Mind:** You’ll receive regular updates, fun photos, and open communication throughout your pet’s stay so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. **My Environment & Daily Routine:** My home is a safe and comfortable environment for your pet. I have a fully fenced-in backyard for dogs to run and play, and a cozy space for cats to relax. I also have a comfortable couch for cuddles and belly rubs. My daily routine is designed to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they’re happy and healthy. I offer a personalized, in-home environment where your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Your dog will have a fully fenced backyard to enjoy fresh air, play fetch, and stretch their legs safely throughout the day. My home features a traditional layout with distinct spaces, making it easy to create separate areas for relaxation, play, or quiet time if your pet prefers their own space. Active dogs will love matching paces with Charlie! Daily routines include plenty of outdoor exercise, backyard play, mental stimulation, and dedicated wind-down time for group snuggles. I’m also fully equipped to care for a kitten, ensuring a safe, engaging, and highly affectionate environment for feline guests. Before your pet arrives, please let me know their typical daily feeding, sleeping, and exercise schedule. I’d also appreciate information on how they interact with other dogs, cats, and children. Do they prefer lap-sitting, belly rubs, or chin scratches? Any specific triggers, fears (like thunderstorms), or behavioural quirks are also helpful. Finally, please provide up-to-date vaccination status and any health or medication needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I live 30 seconds from a big park and about 5 minutes from a hiking trail. I have a crate if your dog needs some down time. Currently have one dog in my house who gets along with other dogs no problem.

Krystina was amazing with my puppy Maggie! From the moment I left, I felt totally at ease knowing Maggie was in such good hands. Krystina was patient, attentive, and clearly comfortable caring for a young, energetic puppy. Maggie was happy, well cared for, and calm when I got back, which says a lot. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine care she showed. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Krystina watch Maggie again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter 🐶💛
