Information Krista C. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with giving animals orals meds and aware of the tricks and open to suggestions and guidance for your pet. I work full time from home in healthcare. I’ve worked in pharmacy for decades which has made me very familiar with mixing and administering medications.

A typical day

Dog walks are a given. I am located just minutes away from Highland Parks dog park if that is a comfortable setting for you pet. My dog is spoiled and has access to a giant toy box that he shares with always fur friends who visit.

Our dog had a great stay with Krista! It was so helpful knowing our pup was comfortable and in good hands while we were away. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing experience! Our dog stayed with Krista for three weeks, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. Krista sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and Krista was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. We came home to a happy, healthy pup, and we are so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. We would absolutely book with Krista again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog sitter!

My partner and I were both immediately calm after dropping Link off at Krista’s for the first time. We even kept saying that was the least worried we have ever been dropping him off anywhere. Krista’s calm confidence is so reassuring, she isn’t afraid of any quirks a dog might have and handles them well. I loved her fun updates including pictures and videos during Link’s stay. That was most relaxed I’ve ever been while away from him (which is not easy to do). She truly cares about your dog and treats them like her own. I hope to use her time and time again in the future!!!

Our dog spent a week with Krista and her two dogs. Krista was responsible, kind and attentive, especially during the heat wave and threatening thunder. She sent daily updates including a photo and communicated with us several times during the week. We missed our pup, but we're happy he was in Krista's competent care.
