This is our second time that we've used Kristinne's services and she is dependable, trustworthy, provided excellent care for our pets and gave me tremendous peace of mind. I highly recommend Kristinne and most definitely would use her services again.

I have used Kristinne multiple times. But there is no actual way to know when she began to cut back on her service as I am not home to observe this. The last two times I have returned from extended time away, I have found the water fountain full of cat food and water low and the cat box was overflowing with cat matter. Now this is an auto scooping box, to be in this state would require the box to become jammed. This would suggest that someone was not checking on the box and its operation daily. And with the amount of cat matter in the box it would lead me to believe that it had been several days since she looked at it. In addition to this we have a feeding tower that holds about 2 lbs of cat food. This tower was completely empty. I do not know how long it had been empty. There is 25 lbs of cat food in the pantry cupboard and there was no reason for that container to have ever been empty. One would assume this is what I was paying her for.
On my last trip away, I received two very strong text messages. One inquiring about better parking spaces and mentioning some run in with an Asian neighbor. The second text message was to tell me she was quitting, due to the distance from her home (6 Miles). When I returned from my business trip, my neighbor came by to express concern about the woman who shouted racial slurs at him when he asked her to move her car so he could into his garage. Again I was not present to see or hear any of this.
Also my neighbor reported that Kristinne was in out of the house less than 10 minutes, which does not allow for anytime actually check on the condition of anything, let alone play with the cats as she indicates on the paperwork she leaves on my counter.
Kristinne has always asked for payment in advance, to this I say, if it were not so costly to stop a check I certainly would have stopped the last one. We have actually already replaced Kristinne, but this time we choose not use Angie's List, and have required a back ground check.

"I knew that you would probably put in a bad review when I told you that I was going to have to tighten up the areas that I go to because of gas, time etc. You did not let me down. In my defense I was there everyday played with your cats except when your male roommate was there. I refilled that small water container EVERY day because it was very low. Your cats drink alot of water. Now to the litter box the last 2 days I was there it was not working so I scooped it. 2 cats - one box not good especially when the thing stops working.You never showed me what to do if it clogged up so I did the best I could do. Before that I would pull out the tray and that was full but I worked best with what I had. I tried on numerous occasions to contact you but since I gave you the bad news you really stopped communicating.I was planning on not doing any more sits for when you called the day after you came home early and told me you were there not to come by and at the same time extended your pet visits, I took it on the chin did the visits while at the same time letting you know that I wouldn't be able to do it any more. I also said I would try and help you find someone more local, and if you needed I would be there in case you hadn't found anyone yet. I asked if you would let me know when you got your house key since you had me put it under the mat at your front door not a good place to put it. You never did I had to reach out to you. Your check is made out after you came home so you could have put a stop to it. Also yes I require payment up front but you did that my first couple of visits and then would "forget" to leave it. Then it would take 2 weeks or more after I was done to recieve it.I only got it after texting you numerous times. I texted you about other parking spaces not better parking spaces because a neighbor chewed me out for parking in front of your garage as you told me to. I did not want to create a problem. So I parked on the street and walked in essence close to a block to get to your house. That is how I work someone else would have created a problem or not shown up at all. The day I got chewed out yes I was in and out of there quickly because I had this problem and not one racial slur was said. I just told him it was an emergency remember that was the day your door was not working and I spent close to 20 min trying to get in. Part of that time was with you on the phone. Come to find out I had to press down really hard on the handle. [member name removed], you did not like the price from the begining and I knocked off $2.00. If you would have had me come in on the last day, the box would have been cleaner there would have been water food didnt know where it was and as much as I hate going thru someones cabinets I did and saw NONE. Also before I forget lets talk mileage I LIVE 19 miles away by freeway. Another good reason to reel in the distance I drive and putting so much gas in my car. Plus you are the only one in Rosemead I serviced. The drive from my box in San Marino is roughly 8 miles and remember I am not coming from there my primary area is Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre area. So please forgive me if I want to save time and $. If anyone would like to see my texts I still have them on my phone. I am sorry that you couldn't understand that I needed to do what was best for me and my business and hated having to come to that conclusion. I am also sorry that you want to give me a bad name. I wish you the best."
