Pet care experience

Gentle, Trusted Care

I’ve spent the last 18 years surrounded by animals, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies learning their first tricks to sweet seniors needing extra love and patience, I cherish every stage of a pet’s life. What makes me different is the way I connect with each pet on a personal level. I take the time to understand their routines, their quirks, and what makes their tails wag (or their purrs start!). Whether it’s gentle walks, cuddle time, or giving medication with care, I make sure they always feel safe, loved, and at home, even when you’re away. For me, this isn’t just pet sitting, it’s being a trusted friend to your furry family member. 🐾

Krista is very attentive and loving, taking care of other pets as if they were her own and ensuring their quality of life exceeds expectations. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Krista went above and beyond caring for my pup while I was away. Communication was excellent—daily updates with photos and videos gave me peace of mind. My dog can be a little shy, but she warmed up to Krista right away, which speaks volumes about her kind and patient nature. I could tell my dog had been well loved, exercised, and kept on their normal routine. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely passionate about animals, I highly recommend Krista. I’ll definitely be booking again!

Schedule

Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime in the afternoon, or snuggles in the evening, I’m able to fit pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. Being home most of the time also means your furry friend will rarely be left alone, and I can keep them on their usual schedule with plenty of love and companionship. My days revolve around making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routines closely so your furry friend feels comfortable and secure. I pay attention to the small details—like feeding schedules, preferred walking routes, and favorite toys—so their day feels as normal and stress-free as possible. I create a calm, loving environment where pets know they’re safe. Whether it’s double-checking doors and gates, giving medication carefully, or offering extra snuggles for reassurance, I treat each pet with the same love and responsibility I give my own. You can always count on open communication and regular updates, because I know how important it is to feel connected while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, active, and loved. We’ll start with a walk or some playtime to get their tails wagging and energy flowing. During the day, I make sure they get plenty of attention, whether that’s tossing a ball, playing tug of war, or giving belly rubs and snuggles. If your pup loves adventure, we might go on a longer walk or explore a safe new spot for extra excitement. For more laid back pets, I’m just as happy to spend time curled up together, giving them comfort and companionship. I always follow your pet’s routine, so their day feels familiar, while adding in extra love, play, and fun along the way. By the end of the day, you’ll have a happy, relaxed pet and plenty of picture updates to show you the smiles, wags, and cuddles they enjoyed.

Before caring for your pet, I always like to know a few important details so I can give them the very best care: 🐾 Routines & Preferences – Feeding schedule, walk times, favorite toys, and any comfort habits. 💊 Health Needs – Any medications, allergies, or special instructions for senior care or puppy training. 🐶 Behavioral Notes – How they do with other dogs, cats, or people, and any quirks I should know about (shy, high energy, etc.). 🏡 House Rules –Whether they’re allowed on furniture, how you’d like walks handled, or any special requests. The more I know, the more I can make their time with me feel safe, comfortable, and full of love just like when they’re with you.
