Safety, trust & environment

I will give your pet(s) as much love, attention, and exercise as they need - and then some! I’m sure they will miss you, but I’ll keep them busy and distracted and we’ll have a blast until you come back! Safety is also very important to me, so rest assured your pets are in good hands.

Information Krista C. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful to know if your dog is reactive to any stimuli ahead of time, such as other dogs, etc., so I know how I can make them feel most safe. Also, I’m used to managing escape artists, but a heads up is very helpful. Otherwise just let me know if they have any special requirements or schedules.

A typical day

I’m happy to just hang out or take your dog on adventures. I’m very active and can provide a fun time for your furry friend!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Krista! I’m a responsible and energetic engineer and Stanford grad. I have been around animals my entire life, from dogs and cats to birds and reptiles and everything in between. I have experience with puppies and kittens, as well as with older and sick/injured animals. I foster kittens, and I volunteer as a rehabilitator of orphaned and injured birds of prey, including owls, hawks, and falcons. I am fearless, adventurous, and not afraid to get dirty. Above all, I LOVE ANIMALS! I’m certified in cat and dog CPR and first aid with American Red Cross.

Last minute dog care and she was wonderful! She even helped pick up some items that fell outside the house due to a storm while we were away. Plus she communicated anything that she had concerns about our house we were out of town. Very detailed reports and cute pictures of our doggie :) 100% recommend and definitely use her again!
