nyc transplant missing pup love

Pet care experience

My first experience caring for dogs came at a young age as I watched my mother and assisted her in tending to Shotzie, our German Shepherd mix. Shotzie developed tumors toward the end of her life and I would spend a great deal of time sitting with her on our back porch, caring for and comforting her with the repeated stroke around her ear. Years after Shotzie had passed, we opened our heart and home to two beautiful German Shepherd-Husky mixes - brother and sister, Smokie and Sandie. Now older, I was able to observe their needs and regularly care for their high energy spirits with frequent walks and lots of love. Although parted from and missing my beloved family pups, I hope to serve the needs of your dog as best as I am able.

I initially booked Krista's services outside of Rover and am so happy to hear she signed up to sit for other people! Krista connected immediately with my pup and my kitty. She genuinely cares for them and I can tell they are so comfortable with her! I am always appreciate of how flexible and reliable she is and I know Ruby and Carl are in safe hands. She also does a great job of sending updates and communicating with me about how they are doing. Thank you so much Krista! We hope to book you again soon - this time on Rover!

Information Krista C. would like to know about your pet

Several questions regarding your beloved canine... How does your dog typically respond to unfamiliar people? How does your dog typically respond to unfamiliar people in the absence of your presence? How is your dog on the leash? What does your dog's typical day look like? When does your dog eat? Does your dog have a favorite treat? What are the typical habits and preferences of your dog? What type of behavior should I expect? What type of behavior should I not expect? Would you be willing to provide a crate for your dog if you decide to board your pup with me? If not, is there an item or toy that I can use for a familiar scent? What kinds of trouble does your dog usually get into? -- All dogs get into trouble, don't feel bad. -- How have you been able to avoid/minimize those behaviors? What do you expect of me while boarding/caring for your dog? What do you not expect of me while boarding/caring for your dog? Additionally, when it comes to my preferences and availability, I am very flexible. I have the ability to work from home or walk a short distance to my office. So, please consider this as you are determining your needs. Do not hesitate to contact me with specific requests.

A typical day

You and your beloved pup will become apart of my family during the time that we spend together. Depending on the needs and preferences of your dog, we can take long walks around Meridian Hill Park or short trips around the neighborhood. Your pup can rest on the sofa with me as we answer emails and watch Netflix, or they can snuggle in their cozy bed. Whatever is well suited to the needs of the dog works best for me, because I want to make sure that your dog feels comfortable and cared for in your absence - which is why I need your help answering the following questions below. I want to know how to best serve your pup.
