Information Krista A. would like to know about your pet

I think what is important to know about your pet is whatever YOU feel is important for me to know. :) Every pet is different and every owner has a different standard of care.

A typical day

Well, I do not offer in-home care for animals. I am more than happy to walk or run dogs around their neighborhoods, toss toys in the yard or if allowed, take them to a nearby dog park.

"Pawsitively Amazing Pet Care!"

Pet care experience

I have always had a profound love for animals, a passion that started in childhood with the family dog, who was a cherished companion for 14 wonderful years. This childhood bond with animals deepened over time, leading to when I welcomed a dog, Kuna, of my own into my life. For 9 years, we shared an unbreakable bond until sweet Kuna passed away from a tumor. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have also had the honor of being a trusted caretaker for my friends and family's animals. Whether it's been a weekend getaway or an extended trip,I have always been there to provide love, attention, and care to their pets, reinforcing my reputation as an animal lover and devoted caregiver. With a life of experience and a genuine passion for animal well-being, I am confident in providing exceptional care to anyone who hires me to care for their pet. My dedication and love for animals ensures that every pet receives the best possible care and attention.

Here’s a polished version of your Rover review that keeps your warm, appreciative tone while making it flow naturally: Krista was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating when I found myself in a pinch and needed a new dog walker on short notice. From the very beginning, she was responsive, reliable, and truly supportive throughout the entire time she worked with us. We were beyond pleased with the care she provided. She even went above and beyond by cleaning our carpet when our girl had an upset tummy—something we deeply appreciated and did not expect at all. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our girl was in such caring and capable hands. We appreciate Krista so much and look forward to working with her again in the future! 🐾

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
