Safety, trust & environment

I appreciate communication on any preferences or routines you have with your pet as you truly know them and your home best! I aim to provide the safest care possible.

Information Krista P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know any medications or special instructions you have for the care of your fur baby as I want to insure they are as comfortable as possible while you are gone. If there is a certain way you would like things done I would love to know as I aim to provide the best care and love that I can!

A typical day

I am willing to take your dog for a walk on a trail, around the neighborhood, or to a local park. I also enjoy down time as well and would be happy to cuddle up for a movie or book. I am aware that different dogs have differing needs depending on age/activity level and I am more than happy to accommodate whatever needs your pup has specifically!

Experienced Animal Lover Available

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Krista, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. As a healthcare professional, I bring reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail to every pet-sitting job. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets of various ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’m committed to providing attentive and compassionate care while you’re away. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, paddleboarding, and exploring new places. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

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.
