Pet care experience

Reliable & Loving Pet Care!

All my friends trust me to care for their fur babies because they know I treat every pet like part of the family. I’ve even earned the name “Auntie Krista” from one special pup who gets excited every time he comes to stay with me! I love creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs can feel right at home. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, snuggles, treats, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for, loved, and treated like royalty while you’re away. Every dog has their own routine, and I want their stay to feel as smooth and comfortable as possible. Please send all important care instructions through Rover before drop-off, including feeding details, medications, behavioral notes, sleeping preferences, and any special requests. I provide regular updates and pictures during each stay and prefer to keep non-emergency communication in Rover so everything stays easy to reference. Please note that my quiet hours are 10pm to 8am so I will respond to new inquiries during regular business hours. Thank you!

This was Rocky's longest stay with Krista - 7 days. WE received pictures 2x a day. Our Rocky was happy - went on walks, got lots of snuggles and was well cared for! We are so happy that we found Krista. We will definitely continue to use her in the future. Worth mentioning ...we had our Granddaughters wedding in Ohio. Kristra was not feeling well and still took care of Rocky. Rather than cancel she still took care of Rocky for us She's the BEST!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dogsitter for Jax while we were away on our Alaskan cruise. From the moment we left, she kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She made sure Jax received all of his medication on schedule and went above and beyond to keep him happy and engaged. Jax loved playing interactive games for treats, running around her large fenced in yard, and going on plenty of walks. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. Knowing he was getting so much attention, exercise, and love allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. We are incredibly grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dogsitter.

Finding Krista was our lucky day! Not only did our dog like her almost immediately on our meet and greet but so did we - His first sleepover went great - his behaviors were just like home - didn’t want to get out of bed in the morning - I will definitely book her again & again in the near future - in fact he’s spending 6 days with her next month

My dog means everything to me, and leaving her is very difficult. I went to see Krista and she seemed to be right person to watch Maggie. I was wrong, she was an outstanding person. Maggie is a dog that needs people and returns that affection with her love. Thanks Krista for taking such great care of her. I will not hesitate to use you in the future. Yours truly Don, Kelley, and of coarse Maggie May.

Schedule

I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s providing walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I can easily integrate their needs into my routine. Pets get my full attention, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their families are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a home with plenty of space and a fenced-in backyard. I also live on a quiet street that doesn't get much traffic, which is perfect for taking dogs on walks. I currently do not have any pets of my own, so I can focus all of my attention on my clients' pets.

A typical day

A typical day includes regular potty breaks, walks when appropriate, playtime, treats, snuggles, and plenty of calm downtime. I tailor each stay to the dog’s personality and comfort level so they can feel safe, loved, and right at home.

Before booking, it’s important for me to know your pet’s full care routine, including feeding instructions, potty schedule, sleeping preferences, medications, anxiety triggers, and any behavioral concerns. Please also share whether your dog can be left alone for short periods, how they do in a new environment, and any special care needs or routines that must be followed closely. Having these details in advance helps me make sure I’m fully prepared and that your pet has a safe, comfortable stay.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
