Ready to love on your pup/cat

Hi! I’m a single mom with three kids aged 17 and 11 and 22 that live in the home. We lost our Clara girl (13 year old beagle in the profile pic with my daughter ) back in December 22 and our hearts aren’t ready for another doggo but we love visits with other doggos to get our doggy fix in! We are also avid cat lovers- we have a fluffy 6 year old male neutered Indoor/outdoor kitty named Leo. Leo and Clara were good friends and often cuddled together. With the kiddos in school and me working 70% from home, this app was a nice find! I work from home mon, wed, thurs…. And have a flexible boss so I can switch days if I need to be home with your pup/kitty on a day I’d normally be in office. My 17 year old daughter is available for walks and cuddles if I am not at home otherwise. My 11 year old little boy loves to give cuddles and Is normally in charge of feeding our cat presently. We once dog sat a sweet pit for 8 months while her daddy moved Cross country and got settled (can provide reference). We loved to cuddle her in our house! We are both cat and dog people in this house :) I have about an acre out back… unfortunately it’s not fenced presently because we had to take it down due to termite damage. Hopefully we will save up enough so we can give your doggos a fenced yard again!

Krista was amazing! Very warm and welcoming to us and Juno. She sent pics and a video letting me know Juno was settled and adjusting. I’d use her over and over if we lived in her town. We were just visiting.

Thanks Krista for keeping our Lily. She was happy as can be getting to sleep in your bed! It was great to know we had nothing to worry about while we were gone.

Krista was absolutely amazing with our dog, Neegan! This was his first time staying somewhere new, and she made the whole experience so comfortable and stress-free for both of us. She kept us updated with regular messages and sent pictures/ videos, which we really appreciated! It gave us so much peace of mind. Neegan was clearly well cared for and happy the entire time. We would highly recommend Krista to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter, and we would definitely rebook with her again!

Schedule

I usually almost always book only one doggo at a time so I can give them the most love and affection! However, I absolutely will book all doggos from the same household together :)

A typical day

Im an early riser! After I put my kiddos on the bus about 6:30, I’m off for a walk in the neighborhood and would love to have your doggo as a companion :) My son likes to go to the park so we would love to take a dog (or a few) with us.

We are patient in this home and senior dogs are some of my favorite. My Clara girl had arthritis and kidney problems so we had Medicine for her daily the last few years - so let me know what special needs your doggy has so I can make them most comfortable!
