Safety, trust & environment

I work a consistent 40 hour work week, with an hour lunch. I generally wake and spend some time with your dog(s) before work, stop by to let them out and give them some love at lunch time, and then devote the evening to watching them. Walk schedule depends based on the dog and their preexisting schedule, but I generally prefer to take them on a walk in the morning before work

Information Krista D. would like to know about your pet

Are they friendly? Are they good with other dogs/would they enjoy a trip to a dog park? Do they have any special needs or conditions I need to watch out for?

A typical day

Drop in visits involve checking in on all the dog’s immediate needs and giving them some loving and attention, or just hanging out in the room if they’re shy. Walks depend on the area you live! I’m sure I can find a good route your dog will love.

I have enough energy for any dog!

Pet care experience

I've had dogs since second grade, and now that I live in an apartment and can’t have my own, I miss them dearly! I grew up with beagles, but love all breeds, and can’t wait to spend time doting on some dogs! I

Krista took a lot of time beforehand to learn about our home and pets, as well as ask important questions. Our dog and cat who are fearful of strangers warmed up to Krista quickly! She gave us updates and photos several times a day - and yet also thought to ask first how often we wanted them. Feeding, medications, play-time, and walks all went well! Home was clean and pets were happy & stress-free when we got home!! Great experience! We would call on Krista again!

Krista was amazing! We would highly recommend her. She's friendly and reliable, and our dogs were so happy and not stressed out when we returned home.

Chloe had a fantastic time with Krista! We look forward to having her stay with Chloe again. And I think Chloe also is looking forward to her coming again as well. Enjoyed all the great pictures too!
