Pet care experience
My passion has always been animals, especially dogs and cats. I will be happy to also take care of other animals, if needed. I have volunteered at animal shelters and vet offices. I have also worked at doggie daycare/boarding facilities. I have rescued 3 dogs along with 4 cats. I consider them all my children and get spoiled daily. If you want the peace of mind that your family is well taken care of while you're away then give me a call! I will be happy to hear from you! While working at 2 doggie daycare/boarding facilities I was trained with some CPR along with other things. I frequently take care of my moms 2 dogs and 5 cats too. I have helped take care of horses and farm animals at my family's farm. I am an active member and donate to ASPCA, PETA, and lonestar rescue in Texas. I am the "go to" person at work for advice on their animals. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog owner since I was six. At that time it was one shih tzu. As I got older I got other animals, such as, fish and guinea pigs. Then my dad got a shih tzu at his house. So I had one dog at each parents house. It wasn't until about 2008 I started rescuing cats. My mom then got another dog as a playmate for our first dog. I moved out and then adopted my own 2 dogs. My family has always loved dogs and I am always around them. Meet my pets I have 2 small to medium sized dogs and one large dog. They all get along with people, dogs, cats, and kids. I also have 4 cats whom are very friendly with the above listed too. If there are any questions or concerns you may have don't hesitate to ask. About my yard I do have a fenced backyard. It's big enough for my dogs to chase each other around and get good exercise. My experience administering medication: I have had to give many different medications to dogs at the daycare as well as my own animals. My cat has food allergies and has to have an injection weekly. My dog also takes pills for a condition she has too.
Reviews
Krista was awesome! Regularly provided pics of our furry little guy and kept us updated with how he was doing. He was definitely pampered. Thank you!
Krista was great with our Chi baby, Diego. She has great communication, is dependable, and flexible. She sent us updates and pictures while we were away. We felt at ease knowing he was in good hands! We will definitely be reaching out to Krista in the future!
Great experience. We booked sort of last minute and Krista was very accommodating. She stopped by after work, met the dogs and got the details she needed for the stay. After the trip, we forgot to check in and confirm that we were back. She reached out to make sure we were home and that the dogs were ok. We would definitely book with her again.
Thank you Krista for taking care of teddy You are awesome

I have a fenced in yard. I am very patient with animals who are nervous or anxious. I give them treats for good behavior and don’t punish for bad. Positive reinforcement.

Information Krista N. would like to know about your pet
I love every dog so I do not have a preference. I have most experienced with shih tzu's. but working at daycares I have dealt with all breeds. I would just like to know things I would need to do differently. Such as, if they require meds or if I do a certain thing that they might be uncomfortable with. I guess just the daily routine of their home life to make it as similar.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Depending on what the owner is comfortable with, I can leave it to just being my backyard or around my neighborhood. I am away from busy streets and there are sidewalks. I live close to a park if you want me to take your dog there too. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I usually leave that up to the owner. If you want them in a cage or closed in like a kitchen area (I do have gates). I will probably have them in my room. I even have a baby playpen I used to keep my dogs in when they were puppies. Time I'll spend with your dog My boyfriend and I have different schedules. So usually someone is home all day. We don't even like to have our dogs stay in the cage for more than 6 hrs. Time I'll spend with your dog My visit will usually be 30-45 minutes unless otherwise agreed upon for staying longer. If I have more time I might stay longer. Extra house-sitting services Yes. Just leave me a list and any details on how to do the task and I will be happy to do it.
