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.

It was a blessing to come across Krista on Rover. She had an instant connection with my dog at the meet and greet. She kept me informed with every dog walk and provided photos along with extra tidbits about how my dog was doing while I was away. This was the first trip that I've taken away from my dog and Krista made it worry free for me. I highly recommend Krista! I will book her again for any future trips. I think my pooch is going to miss her in the meantime.

Krista was very communicative! Also very good with my cat Flynn who usually takes some warming up to new people.

Krista was amazing. Excellent at communication and made us feel comfortable being away from our little guy. The pictures are awesome and showed him in his natural state, which meant a lot because I knew she made him feel comfortable and safe. Highly recommended.
