With countless options for pet sitters and boarding facilities, it’s hard to know which one truly prioritizes your furry companion’s well-being. Let me introduce myself.

Unlike traditional operations focused solely on profit, my approach centers on care, safety, and love. Each animal is treated as a family member, ensuring they’re never ignored or subjected to harsh conditions like California’s heat. My work extends beyond pet care—I’m also a Bay Area print model and actress, using my platform to advocate for animals while supporting my journey as a pre-vet student. What Sets Me Apart? For stays over three days, I offer FREE Professional Pet Photography—a special keepsake to celebrate your pet.

This is the 3rd time I have left my dog with Krista. She is definitely caring, responsible and loves my dog! He comes home looking better than when I dropped him off. I recommend Krista!

Krista is a great pet sitter! It's obvious that she loves every dog & kitty she care for as if it were her own. It's also obvious that the animals love her in return. Merlin stayed just for 2 nights this time. He'll be at Krista's for a week later this month. I can relax knowing he's in good hands.

I can't say enough about Krista's pet sitting services! I had to leave for a long business trip, almost 3 weeks, and at the last minute, family plans fell through for them to watch my dog and cat. Krista was available last minute, answered all of my questions, and made her schedule flexible around me. I can't thank Krista enough for the amazing care she gave both Nala and Spark. She is truly a remarkable young lady with everything she does.

I wouldn't trust anyone else with my two dogs. I was pretty demanding in the beggining and acting like a typical worried pet mom. Krista met all of my demands and more, she constantly kept me updated on them with pictures, video clips, and texts everyday. She took the dogs on multiple adventures to the dog park, the beach, the river, I wasn't sure who was on a vacation at that point, me or the dogs! I highly reccomend Krista, and amazing alternative to crowded and non-personal kennels. Your pets will truly get the one on one attention the deserve and are in the best of hands with a true animal lover and pre-vet student!
