I am very pleased to write a "testimonial" for Krista. In addition to being a wonderful, caring person, she loves obviously loves animals. I've had three dog walkers, and she is by far the best. Our previous walker employed Krista. The employer was getting out of the business. Krista began walking our dog, Buddy in October 2019, Sadly, we had to euthanize Buddy last month on June 27. Even that day, Krista knew the end was near and just encouraged him to go out to our backyard with a ball. She genuinely cared for Buddy, always speaking to him lovingly, always being careful with him, making certain that his harness and leash were properly attached. In addition to walks, she would take him to our back yard and play ball with him. She always ensured he had fresh water. Krista was always extremely punctual. On the rare occasion when she was delayed, she always messaged me. On a personal note, while grocery shopping with my husband, I had the misfortune to fall and break my arm late one Sunday afternoon in 2022. We ended up at the Lahey hospital and had no idea when we would get home. I called Krista and told her what happened. She willingly went to our home, and fed Buddy and let him exercise in the yard. She was a lifesaver that day. She goes above and beyond what is expected. Our Buddy was a lab/shepherd mix--a big dog. She managed him well, and in his final months when his back legs were failing him, would lovingly lift his back half up the patio stairs. Her love for animals is sincere. She has many, and we've shared tears over a couple of her dogs who died from cancer. I would trust her in any circumstance. She is intelligent, articulate and warm-hearted. I truly miss seeing her on a daily basis now that my Buddy is no longer with us. If I can provide further information, please call me. I enthusiastically recommend Krista for your company. And Buddy would approve with an affectionate "woof"!
