Loving care for your pets and home.

Pet care experience

For first time clients, use my referral code for $20 off your first booking with me! KRISTR10592, https://www.rover.com/sit/kristr10592 Bio: As a child growing up, I bonded closely with my pets and developed a strong love for all animals. I have had a dog in the house for as long as I can remember and dreamed of growing up to have as many animals as I could. Today, my family and I have a small farm with an assortment of pets like dogs, turkeys, and sheep to name a few. I have 4 amazing dogs and 2 funny cats that make every day better. Bander is a 12 year old pit bull and our resident couch potato. Yogi is our 3 year old Irish Wolfhound/Border Collie. Yogi is full of energy and love. He is also also a bit of an odd ball and what some might consider high-maintenance or needy. Owen, an Anatolian Shepard/Kangal Dog Mix is the big boy at 135+ lbs. Owen along with Yogi are livestock guardians to the many barn yard pets. Echo rounds out the pack and is a Husky/Pit Bull Mix at 80 lbs. I am more than used to large dogs that think they belong on your lap and that is ok by me! The rest of the pets include: a guinea pig, sheep, goats, rabbits, turkeys, chickens, ducks, and a tortoise. I have also had: quail, turtles, and rodents in the past. I have experience with horses, pigs, and cows. I have helped around horses throughout my life so I am comfortable around large livestock. Besides my own animals, I am also handling other people’s animals on a regular basis through 4-H and livestock shows. My pets help me to remember to keep things simple and appreciate every moment. I hope to be a friend to you and your pet soon!

Krista was awesome, very considerate and respectful of the designated drop in times as well as our home. We appreciated how kind and caring she was with our dogs and it showed as both of them warmed up to her very quickly, and our dogs are great judges of character. On top of her great care, Krista's communication with us was excellent, even before she had the actual visits she contacted us to make sure everything was ready to go. We will not hesitate to book Krista again.
