I care just as much as you!

Pet care experience

My name is Krista. I am a certified dog trainer. I have studied dog behavior for about 5 years now. I enjoy the challenge of helping people and their dogs. I studied dog training at Animal Behavior College online. My love for animals and people are ever growing. I do the best I can to make you and your fur-baby happy! ​ I have always loved animals. I love the human-animal bond. I fell in love with dogs when was about 16. I begged and begged my mom to get one but we never had enough time and money to take care of a dog. It wasn't until I was 20 that I got a dog of my own. Junior is not the dog I asked for, but definitely the dog I need. Day by day I learn how to become a better person because of him. He has tough me how to be more patient, energetic, confident, and calm. I love spending time with animals, I would love if I could spend it with your 4-legged baby!

Krista did drop in visits for us & was super flexible booking a holiday weekend last minute. We expressed to her that we were a little nervous doing only drop in visits since we've never not had an in-home sitter. But Krista was super communicative, sending pictures & videos, & always letting us know when she is coming & going. Even going out of her way to stay awhile & hang out with our babies. She went above & beyond our expectations, we would gladly let her watch our animals again any time!

Krista has taken care of our puppy a couple of times now. Both times were on short notice and she was so helpful, flexible, and happy to help. We can't say enough good things about her! I just got back after 16 days away and our puppy was clean, happy, and healthy. It's so great knowing that she's in good hands with Krista! I definitely recommend Krista and will be utilizing her services often!
