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 2.5 years. 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 lot 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. I also create pet portraits, so let me know if you’d be interested in talking about that too!
Reviews
Absolutely love Krista. We use her for all our trips we take. Excellent communication!
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!
Krista was awesome. She was a great communicator and our pets were happy and well-taken care of.

Skills
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.

Availability
I currently work full-time as an artist, so I set my own schedule each week and am fairly flexible throughout the entire week. I appreciate one day’s heads up when you book a service or need to cancel, but I will try to be as accommodating as possible.
