Pet care experience

Trustworthy, Dependable, Pet Lover!

Hello, my name is Crista, and I'm a pet sitter from Stow, OH. Animals are my passion, and I understand how important it is to find the right care for your pets. If you're in need of someone with extensive experience caring for pets of all sizes and ages, I'm here for you. I've been taking care of dogs since I was young. My family dog is currently 7 years old, while the other lived to be 13. I've also cared for guinea pigs, hedgehogs, fish, cats, turtles, and numerous other pets for families in different environments. My experience is mainly with dogs & cats, and I have provided pet care services to many pets in my neighborhood. With my deep love for animals, I'm looking to extend my services to other areas. As a pet lover and owner myself, I can assure you that your pets are in the most caring hands with me. With 22 years of experience in Northeast Ohio and being the daughter of a veterinarian, I am knowledgeable about administering medication. As well as recognizing animal behavior and warning signs. Additionally, I am very familiar with the local dog parks and available emergency pet services. I find the greatest joy in being around animals, and I take great pride in being a compassionate, trustworthy, and dependable petsitter. Leaving a pet at home all day can be stressful, and I'm here to offer my help and support. 🐾♡

Simba loved having Crista babysit. We loved her special care and attention to detail in taking care of Simba. We will have Crista again

Another great experience with Crista! Seriously - our dog may be disappointed to see that we’re back home lol! Crista gives him so much attention and is so in tune with his needs - couldn’t feel more at ease, knowing he’s in such good hands!!

Schedule

I have graduated with my associates degree and am currently looking for jobs that would be able to fit in with pet sitting and walking! At the moment, I do have 1 part-time job that schedules a month out. So I can be flexible and able to plan accordingly to fit you and your pets schedule. My regular work schedule can be any day between Tuesday and Sunday. But shifts and days can change if needed to whatever your pets needs!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Crista can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or behaviors I should know of ahead of time so I can best meet their needs.
