Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I will be very respectful of your space and always leave things as I found them. I am very detail-oriented and thorough, so I will read all instructions from top to bottom when it comes to in-home visits or walks, to make sure that I give your dog the care you’re expecting and that they need.

Information Krista G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or other characteristics that I should be aware of before meeting them. Thank you!

A typical day

I love taking dogs for walks in their local neighborhood and parks close by! I also love playing hide-and-go-seek with their favorite toys and playing tug.

Pet care experience

I was born adoring dogs (and all animals), so I’ve been taking care of dogs in my community since I was about 10 years old. Patience is my very best quality, and I have a knack for understanding how to motivate dogs. I’ve had my own sweet dog, Red (he’s a rescue, but I think he’s a Chesapeake Bay Retriever/German Shepherd mix), for about 6 years now. I have an additional 2.5 years of experiencing closely looking after a golden retriever I lived with (he belonged to my housemate). My dog Red has a good amount of energy and needs a lot of walking each day, so I have experience walking at faster rates to cover more ground, as needed. Red also pulled a lot when I first got him, so I am comfortable with dogs that pull.

Krista was very kind and caring for my old guy. She took the time to hang out with him and give him a good walk and attention.

Krista was absolutely wonderful with my cat and dog. I got an extensive update and photos of both of them. She made us feel at ease being on vacation knowing they were both in good hands!
