Highlights
Pet care experience
Certified pet lover. Trusted sitter
In-home care for the furry companions who make a house truly feel like home. ♥️ Leaving our pets can be hard, so I approach every visit with both the pet and the pet parent in mind. I provide calm, routine-focused care that’s never rushed — whether that’s a slow, sniff-filled walk or quiet companionship. I pay attention to the little details, keep stress low and share regular photo updates so you can see your pet comfortable, happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: peace of mind for you and a visit that feels just right for your pet. I have experience with cats, dogs and exotic pets with a variety of temperaments and medical conditions, including asthma, allergies, heart conditions and anxiety.

Safety, trust & environment
I take a thoughtful, gentle approach to pet sitting, focusing on consistency, comfort and trust. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, relaxed and well cared for — with plenty of belly rubs and head scritches along the way.
Ratings and reviews
Krista is responsible, kind, and loves animals. She will show up as scheduled and give your pets lots of cuddles and pets along with the necessities while you're away.
Krista came to the rescue when our other house sitter cancelled at the last minute! Krista was quick to respond when I reached out on Rover and was very flexible when setting a time for a meet and greet. She was great about receiving and gathering all the necessary information at the meet and greet to prepare her and our pets for a successful stay. Krista sent messages and pictures during her stay and kept us informed of how things were going. Krista even made sure to take care of our pets working around her plans on New Year's Eve. She left our home very neat and our pets were very well taken care of! Remi soon warmed up to Krista and even played fetch with her. It was evident that she really cared for our pets. We would definitely have Krista stay again!
Krista has a deep love for pets which flows over into the care she delivers. The compassion she shows is heart warming especially knowing that the attention to detail will not fall to the way side. No need to worry while you are away. Krista has you and your pets covered.
I’ve known Krista for more than 15 years, both as a friend and as a former colleague. If there’s one thing I can say with total confidence, it’s that she is incredibly trustworthy, patient and genuinely caring — qualities that matter just as much with animals as they do with people. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with my pets or recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.
Krista is an impeccable pet owner and a perfect person to watch your loved animals. She clearly cares so deeply for her own cats as well as the pets of others, demonstrating knowledge and care in every interaction. In addition to her very clear and apparent love of cats, she is great with my dog, who would probably run away to live with Krista if he had the chance. If I needed someone to care for my pet or any other, my first thought would be Krista.
I have personally known Krista for over 22 years. She is a personable individual who cares dearly for her animals. I have personally taken care of her cat, Cosmo from time to time in the past and one can tell the thought and preparedness she takes with caring for her own animals. I should stray from personal opinions but I just want to say that I would trust her to the fullest taking care of and treating any of my furry friends with the same effort in which she cares for her own. Best of luck with your new endeavor, Krista!

Schedule
Pet care is intentionally woven into my daily routine so I can provide reliable, unrushed visits throughout the day. I schedule a limited number of clients to ensure each pet receives focused, attentive care, and I build my day around consistent check-in times, walks and overnight stays. This flexible structure allows me to be fully present during each visit, follow established routines and provide timely updates — including photos — so pet parents always know how their pets are doing.
