“Kristina truly went above and beyond when watching my dog while I was away. She recorded videos of every check in and walk, she sent updates on how he was doing and any possible concerns at the house, and she went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable during this crazy heat wave. I really appreciate her diligence and will definitely book again!”
About: I already love your furbabies, we just haven't met yet! ❤️❤️❤️ Many people call me a "Dog Whisperer," and while I don’t claim the title, animals respond to my calm, intuitive presence. I bring emotional attunement, patience, and loving structure to every visit. Whether your baby is playful, shy, or needs extra TLC, I honor their unique personality. Pet sitting is more than a side gig; it’s a healing, heart-centered exchange. I offer sacred companion care that gives your pet peace and you peace of mind. I'm a Certified Self-Love Coach with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize your pet’s care with presence and ease. I structure my day around the needs of the animals in my care. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or calm overnight stays, I make space for them to feel safe, seen, and loved. While sitting, I read, reflect, or study, but their comfort always comes first. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where their routines, scents, and surroundings bring them calm. I ask detailed questions ahead of time (walk schedule, feeding preferences, medication, etc.) and follow your instructions to the letter. My care style is clean, respectful, and rooted in trust. I adapt to each animal's rhythm and always check in if something feels off. Your home is your sanctuary, and I treat it with the same care I give to your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets beginning with household pets as a child. About ten years ago, I adopted my first pet of my own and have had one ever since. I regularly take care of neighbors’, friends’, and referred (and repeat) clients’ pets of a variety of ages, temperament, and health condition with love and joy. I love caring for animals and am confident in my ability to handle any challenges pet care may throw at me. I have been pet/housesitting part time for several years and have recently shifted to a more full-time basis. This has enabled me to build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I do my very best to accommodate any feeding, walking, or medication routines that pets may be used to. I make myself available throughout the day for questions or updates, and if I cannot immediately respond, I do so as soon as I can.
About: I have two cats of my own and have helped care for both family dogs and friends’ cats over the years. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, and giving lots of love and attention! Pets tend to warm up to me quickly, and I always make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also have plenty of photos of the pets I’ve cared for to show the happy moments we’ve shared. I’m a college student currently studying biochemistry with a strong love for both cats and dogs. Pet care brings me joy, and with summer here, I’m only in school part-time. This gives me the flexibility to care for your pets Thursday through Sunday. I’m dedicated, dependable, and excited to give your pets the attention and affection they deserve. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely and respect your space. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication, and preferred activities. While I don’t have dogs of my own, I have two friendly cats and a clean, pet-safe space. Whether in your home or mine, your pet will be treated like family.

Her veterinary training gives her a solid understanding of animal behavior, basic medical needs, and emergency preparedness—skills that set her apart from typical pet care providers.

Northside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Quetzaly was fantastic! She visited our cats daily, followed all requests, and sent us the cutest photos and updates every day. She’s dependable, reasonably priced, with great communication. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her. Thank you Quetzaly!!!
This was my first time using Rover, and Kristina made it such a wonderful and seamless experience. My husband and I were going to be out of town for a day and wanted someone to come and check in on our six year old cat with wobbly cat syndrome. Kristina was able to accommodate our last minute request and arranged a meet and greet with us and Link to make sure everyone was comfortable. She was very communicative and sent many pictures and videos of Link from just a 30 minute visit, which gave us so much peace of mind! Highly recommend!
