Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Trusted Neighborhood Pet Lover
I have 20 years of experience starting when I got my first horse at 10 years old and since have worked with countless dogs and cats as well as dolphins, seals, large birds, horses, and the occasional farm animal. I have experience tending to wounds, administering medication, caring for senior, anxious, energetic, and fearful pets.

Safety, trust & environment
I know that every animal is unique. I can offer personalized service to meet your pet's needs. I have a fenced back yard, time for walks and play in addition to basic needs, and am happy to accommodate specialized needs and private care. Whether at your place or mine, your pet will feel secure and at home. I have a kitty at home but he likes his space and is happy to stay in our home office during day care days.
Ratings and reviews
Krista is a wonderful sitter and friend to our pup. He always comes back calm and with energy expended. She is a great communicator and goes above and beyond to take care of our baby when we can’t. Thank you, Krista!
Krista was so accommodating and was very caring to my pup. Life was more interesting with Krista than at home, I think.
Thank you for taking care of my three horses while I was away. Your deep understanding of horses and your 20 years of experience really put my mind at ease. It's not easy to find someone who can handle large animals with such skill and care. Coming back to happy and well-cared-for horses was a relief. Your dedication and passion for animals truly shine through in your work. I'm grateful to have found someone I can trust with my equine companions.
Leaving my two beloved dogs in your care was the best decision I've made! Your extensive experience and genuine love for animals truly showed. My dogs came back happy and calm, and I could tell they had a wonderful time with you. Your flexible schedule and well-equipped yard made everything so convenient. Thank you for being a trustworthy and caring pet sitter—I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to anyone!
Krista is an amazing young woman! Not only is she warm, nurturing and caring but she is so responsible and professional in her approach to animal care! There's nothing I wouldn't trust her with... from advanced medical care to the hardcore cuddling... She is hands-down, the best person you could ever hope to care for your animal. As a sidenote she's an amazing trainer as well. She has trained and cared for Marine Mammal's and other wildlife in addition to domestic animal training such as horses, cats, and dogs. She's overall an incredible person and one would be very lucky to have her expert care for your creatures of any kind
Krista is the best! She has been watching our animals for many years and we always feel at peace when they are with her. She treats them liker her own and cares for their physical as well as emotional needs. She is detail oriented and very honest and clear about expectations.
