Pet care experience

Your best friend’s newest buddy!

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!

Krista always sends updates with photos after every visit with our pup! She lets us know of anything that happened during her visit, which we really appreciate! Definitely would recommend!

Krista is awesome! She came over early to meet our dog Pepper before we left for vacation. She was very kind and Pepper took a liking to Krista right away. Pepper is an older dos and it’s hard to leave her worrying that she will be okay while we are going. Krista put all our worries away and we could really enjoy our time away without a worry. She sent us pictures every time she made a visit and gave us a thorough update and peppers status. We would highly recommend Krista and we will definitely be a repeat customer. She is great with our pup. Very trustworthy and efficient!! Thank you very much Krista.

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.

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.
