Active Pet Sitter, Vet Med Student

Pet care experience

Please note: I will be away for Army training from June 4th through July 17th. Please message me if you need help finding other sitters, as many people in my class offer various services too. My animal care experience started with my first dog when I was 10 years old. Since then, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, pocket pets, and more! I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for two years and recently worked as an Animal Health Technician. It would be my absolute pleasure to take great care of your fluffy family member! I am now a first year student at UF for their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program.

Krista is always great to work with. She loves Koko as much as we do and that makes us feel good when we leave Koko with her. Krista is also excellent at communicating with us, which is much appreciated. :)

Our first time using Krista and all went smoothly. Dogs seemed happy and responsive to her in the pics and videos and she was quick to reply to messages. Definitely hope to use her again in the future!

This is our second time having Krista watch our pets. She is prompt, kind, easy to work with and so flexible. Thank you Krista!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard for your dog to run around. There is enough room for me to crate your animal in the home while I am away for school or they are welcome to free roam if well behaved. I can set up camp at your home and study from there. I am willing to spend nights with your pets so they don’t get lonely. I cater to your pet’s emotional and physical needs. If your animal needs medication, say less. I can pill animals, give fluids, and even give insulin shots if necessary.

Information Krista D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medication needed prior to your visit. It would be helpful to know what their normal routine is so I can cater to their needs.

A typical day

I would love to walk your pet with me in the mornings before school if they are good on a leash. If not, I have a big enough yard to play fetch with them.
