Experienced Animal Caretaker
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs and cats as pets since I can remember, as well as exotics such as rabbits, Guinea pigs, mice and rats, snakes, sugar gliders, have cared for many reptiles and aquatic animals as well. I’ve also worked professionally caring for animals in a dog day care board and groom center for a year, and currently work as a veterinary assistant going on 1.5 years.
Reviews
Krista was amazing with my dog Creed. He has seizures & requires quite a bit of attention. He is on a strict medication administration schedule. He also is a Bulldog & can be a stubborn handful but she handles him firmly but with patience & love. I was so worried about leaving him for 7 day’s & causing him stress but she went above & beyond caring & loving on him keeping him as stress free as possible. She also sent me pics & texts to reassure me he was doing great so that I could enjoy my vacation. Creed looked for her for awhile after she left, & I could tell even today that he misses her.
Showed up on time, took good car of our two girls and kept us up to date with pictures and videos.
About Krista F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am a trained veterinary assistant, which means I’m aware of what’s dangerous for dogs to ingest, the dangers that can come from being off leash, heat stroke, hot pavement, etc. I also am experienced in administering medications, whether it be oral, topical, medicated shampoos, or even insulin injections.
Information Krista F. would like to know about your pet
It’s always important to communicate what your dog needs as far as exercise, training, places or things to avoid like any triggers such as other dogs or people, or places and things they really love to do. It’s also important to let me know of any medical conditions, special care or any important medical history such as seizures so that I can make sure your dog (or cat!) gets the right care.
A typical day
I will make sure your dog gets exercise and stimulation tailored specifically to their needs, whether they are a puppy who needs frequent potty breaks and basic behavior training, a high energy breed that needs longer walks and tasks that help keep them mentally stimulated, a senior dog that likes to take it easy, or even an anxious dog that likes a certain routine.
