Vet Tech & Animal lover 🐶❤️

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Krista! I was a vet tech for 8 years. I can provide excellent care to your furry babies, and you can trust that your pets will be safe with me. I have plenty of medical experience and have no problem giving medications to senior pets, or even administering insulin. I will be available to check on them often. I have experience in the Veterinary Field and am open to every breed of dog. I am very knowledgeable about most breeds, and have experience with many different types of dogs. I have 2 of my own (Beagle & Akita) I have 4 years of experience with pet sitting/walking jobs and can provide references. If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask! All rates can be discussed.

I am fairly new to the Knoxville area and was worried about leaving my elderly cat in someone else's care. Krista has watched my furbaby several times now and has put those fears to rest. She sends me daily texts and pictures to show me how well he is doing. You can tell she is an animal lover and I would highly recommend her!

I had to return to the office when our puppy was only 5 months old. We found Krista and she was awesome. She would come during the day and let our dog outside. She would take beautiful pictures of our puppy and would send them to me. I would highly recommend her. She is caring, responsible and very loving with our puppy. We know our pup was in good care.

Krista did a great job watching over our two pups while we were on vacation. We had never had anyone stay at our house (that we didn’t know) to watch the dogs. She checked in often and the house and dogs were exactly how we left them. We would definitely use her again in the future!
