Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible and Energetic Dog-Lover
I've always had pet dogs and cats since childhood. At this time my husband and I are unable to have a pet of our own, but I frequently house sit and watch pets for friends and family. I work as a school counselor, so I have plenty of availability during the summer to care for your fur-buddies! I am energetic and enjoy playing with excited animal friends, and I also hold firm boundaries and can support your training.
Cat care experience
Krista also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am very energetic and happy to go for long walks or play with dogs to tire them out! I am also clean and detail-oriented so I will take good care of your home if you are away. During the school year I work as a school counselor so I value service to others, honesty, integrity, and sharing joy and kindness.
Ratings and reviews
Krista was great, already rebooked with her. Super responsive and asked great questions at our meet and greet.
Our dogs loved Krista and she was reliable and friendly.
Krista was great! She asked thorough questions and sent pictures throughout the day - no complaints!
Krista did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were out on a vacation. She was very communicative to us and nurturing towards our animals. We felt like our dogs were in good hands because of her kind demeanor. We will definitely work with Krista again for our next trip!
I’ve had the chance to see Krista with dogs in all kinds of situations—calm, chaotic, playful, and everything in between—and she’s consistently one of the most naturally gifted animal people I’ve ever met. Dogs gravitate toward her. Even the shy or uncertain ones seem to relax within minutes of being around her. She’s incredibly responsible and attentive, the kind of person who double‑checks gates, notices small changes in behavior, and makes sure every animal in her care feels safe and understood. She doesn’t just “watch” dogs—she engages with them. She plays, she reads their energy, she matches their pace, and she genuinely enjoys every moment of it. Her energy is warm and steady, and dogs respond to that. What stands out most is how much she truly loves animals of all kinds. Whether it’s a high‑energy pup who needs lots of play or a mellow senior who just wants gentle company, she adapts effortlessly. She’s patient, intuitive, and joyful in the way she connects with them. Anyone who trusts Krista with their pets can feel confident they’re in caring, capable hands
Krista is so great with my dog Bruno!! Bruno is always thrilled to spend time with Krista. It’s always amazing to me how excited he gets when he sees her. She always takes him to the dog park and for walks. I know Bruno is in the best hands with Krista which gives me such peace of mind when we’re on vacation where we can’t bring him with. Thank you Krista!!

Schedule
I work at a school, so I have plenty of time over the summer to love and care for your pets! I teach summer school from eight to noon a few weeks over the summer, and I also teach occasional yoga classes, but besides those commitments, my time belongs to the fur-babies!
