Safe Loving Care for your Fur-Baby

Pet care experience

Compassion and true respect for all living creatures. I really feel animals are gifts from God. Also, I have cared for and had family pets all my life and I simply adore them all. I also have a masters class completed in research. So, if I don't know about something I am skilled in learning about it. If I ever encounter an animal I feel I would be incompetent in caring for, I will be honest upfront. As far as experience with the little ones, I have had puppies before and I also had a cat who delivered a litter of kittens in my home. My senior, Frankl, is one of the litter. He is I am extremely flexible and a stay at home mom and entrepreneur. I also have a vehicle. When I do work it is from home, so I am home 90% of the day. Due to my flexible life style, I can make it home or wherever I need to be within a matter of minutes. I do not have a fenced in yard but my neighbors do on both sides. My daughter, who also works loyally for Rover has a completely fenced in yard two doors down that I can utilize freely if needed..

I've known Krista all her life. Krista's best qualities are that she is very conscientious, trustworthy, honest and reliable. She loves animals and is attentive to their needs. She'd be an excellent dog walker.

Information Krista B. would like to know about your pet

I definitely have an attention for detail and am skilled in tailoring those details to each unique pet individually! I also will be eager to learn anything in particular or special instructions for your pet. Some things important for me to know are; feeding times, any allergies, personality around other people and pets outside, any meds or medical issues, what comforts him/her, and any fears or anxiety he/she might have. This is just naming a few things..

A typical day

I talk to the pet I'm walking and encourage them to explore new safe areas such as open fields and trees. I may do a fast-paced walk so he/she can get more stimulation. This would of course be depending on the pet. I also pause if I notice him/her exploring a new scent!
