Your Pets Are Family Here 🐾
I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! I grew up with both a dog and a cat, and I’ve spent the past 20 years caring for pets as an adult. I know firsthand that our animals aren’t “just pets”—they’re family! I offer loving, reliable drop-in visits and walks, and I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles or whatever your pet loves most to make their day extra special. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I’ve always loved dogs and truly enjoy being around them. In fact, even when I’m on vacation, I find myself looking for ways to spend time with dogs! On my last vacation, I visited a local shelter and ended up taking one of the dogs out for the day—just because I wanted to give them some extra love, attention, and a fun break from the kennel and it was so rewarding. I genuinely love dogs! I’m a cat lover and happy to care for your cats, too! I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, attention, and of course plenty of love while you’re away. My husband and I have a chocolate Lab, Charlie Brown, who we absolutely adore and consider part of our family. He’s such a great companion, and we love spending time with him! I’d love to give your pets that same love and attention while they’re in my care.

Safety, trust & environment
I want your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. During drop-in visits, I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. For walks, I’ll make sure they get safe, enjoyable exercise at their own pace. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you leave, and I’ll always treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
Ratings and reviews
I have utilized Krista’s services for dog sitting many times over the past 3 years! Krista is incredibly kind, trustworthy, and one of the most genuine souls I have ever met. She is truly passionate about animals and will care for your pet as if they are her own. My dog Nola LOVES her and her chocolate lab, Charlie. I would recommend her 1000x over to anyone in need of TLC for their furry friend.
Krista is fabulous with the 4 legged friends. We left our dog, Lucy, with her whenever we went away. I swear Lucy loved being at her home more than ours 😂. You are in good hands when you trust your pets to Krista.
Hello I’m recommending Krista L. as responsible caregiver for your pet. She has taken care of neighbors, friends and relatives pets many times. She loves on the pets as if they were her own. She is Kind and a very friendly, loving thoughtful person.
Krista is one of the biggest animal lovers I've met in my entire life! Whether she is interacting with her own pup, my pup, or one out at the park or walking down the street she just loves all of them. The animals come first even if it's an inconvenience to her! She is very sweet and gentle so even if they're timid they will warm right up to her. Krista also always gets the cutest pics of critters so she will probably text you some sweet pics while she's taking care of your babies
I’m writing this testimonial on behalf of my daughter, Krista Lodge who wants to care for pets with Rover.com. Krista loves pets and has cared for her own, and for others, most of her life. She is kind, compassionate, and trustworthy with pets. She has had her own family pets and has lovingly cared for them. She also has cared for the pets of friends, family, and others. Krista can be depended on to care for your pet with kindness, love, in a responsible manner. I highly recommend her to you for quality care.
