Information Krista R. would like to know about your pet

No aggressive or unpredictable dogs, please. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, fears or anxieties, favorite games or toys, or a specific routine or place they like to visit. Anything that you would like for me to know about your pet that would help us get to know each other better is helpful and appreciated!

A typical day

Your dog and I will have a fun, interactive time together where they can burn off some energy with play time and get lots of love and attention while I’m there. If we are going on a walk, we can check out their favorite places near home or when allowed we can make a trip to the park. If they have a favorite toy, treat, or game I will make sure to use those as requested.

Pet care experience

For first time clients, use my referral code for $20 off your first booking! 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 such as: dogs, cats, turkeys, goats, and sheep. I have 5 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 160+ lbs. Owen along with Yogi are livestock guardians to the barn yard pets. Echo rounds out the pack and is a Husky/Pit Bull = Pitsky at 95 lbs. I am more than used to large dogs that think they belong on your lap and that is ok by me! I have experience with horses, pigs, and cows as well. 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 is an amazing care giver. She immediately responded to my request within minutes. She provided exceptional care to the cats and went above and beyond all my expectations in their care. She provided updated pictures and assured me that they were safe, secure and properly cared for. We are very pleased and appreciative of everything she did! Thanks again!

Krista was wonderful, and I will absolutely rely on her again. She was great with my dog and made my trip stress free on the pet side of things.
