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.

Darius really enjoyed her time with Griffin and Meatball! Krista took really good care of Darius for the whole weekend, she sent lots of photos to us, Darius is a shy girl but she looks extremely happy in each and every picture. We are glad that Darius had a great weekend with Griffin, Meatball, and Krista. Highly recommended!!

My dog Mac’s stay with Krista was amazing! She was a great communicator, sending constant updates and cute photos and videos throughout the day. Mac loved his time with Griffin and Meat, and got along with them so well! He is a very high energy dog, and as soon as we got home he plopped down on my bed and was ready to call it a night. Would highly recommend.

Krista was fantastic! Her communication was excellent, she sent lots of pictures and videos of our dog, and I really felt confident that he was getting the best care with her. Would 100% recommend!

Krista gave daily updates and it seemed like Baki had a great time with Meat and Griffin! Very flexible in timing, pick ups/drop offs, and changing reservation windows which is always a huge help. Definitely would book again!
