Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Crista! With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, dogs have truly been a lifelong part of my world. As a longtime dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust; someone who treats your pup like family. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, gentle seniors, and dogs with a wide range of needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playful moments, cozy cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to feel safe, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away. Dogs bring so much joy into our lives, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to giving your dog the same love, care, and respect they receive from you. You can count on me for a safe home, clear communication, and lots of affection for your furry family member. I look forward to meeting your pup soon!

Crista is an extremely warm and caring sitter. I felt so comfortable leaving my elderly cat with her. She was wonderful to communicate with, so attentive and responsive. Definitely recommend her and will be booking her again!

Crista has been such a wonderful, caring pet sitter for my cat Ryuk. I’ve trusted her to watch him multiple times while I’ve been at work or on vacation, and she’s always gone above and beyond. Ryuk is on a really strict diet and schedule, and Crista follows it perfectly, making sure he’s fed, happy, and comfortable. She even took extra care when Dio, my partner’s cat, was sick, separating them so Ryuk could still have space and cuddles without getting sick. She sends regular updates and pictures throughout the day, which makes me feel so at ease, and she even provides a litter pan so everything is ready. Crista genuinely loves animals, and it shows in the patience, attention, and care she gives. I can’t recommend her enough!
