Love Dogs, Career in Animal Care

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Krista! I recently graduated from college in New York and I have just moved to Virginia! I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since I was 12 -- I have a lot of experience with dogs and truly love being around them. I have several reviews that you can look to for references. I am currently working at a dog kennel in Charlottesville but have some free time for Rover. Please look at my calendar for my availability or message to see if I’m available. As I’m settling into a new place I am only accepting requests for dog walks/drop-in visits but plan to add day care and overnight services soon! Please feel free to call or message me at anytime! Available Times: Monday - All Day Tuesday, Thursday, & Friday - Before 7 AM, 12:30-1:30, after 5:30 PM Wednesday - Before 7 AM & after 12:30 PM Saturday - All Day Sunday - All Day

Krista is the absolute best! She has watched my cat multiple times and now also started watching my new dog. She takes great care of them and sends the best pictures after her visit. She’s very dedicated and even came during the most recent snow storm. If you are thinking of someone to watch after your pets, I very highly recommend Krista!

Krista was great! She was extremely timely with answering all messages and sent great photos of my cat while I was gone. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs :)

We were only able to have her stop by once or twice but Krista was absolutely amazing! I have a high-anxiety pup and she took her time to greet him and even understood when he panicked the first day. My other dog is a total angel so she took to Krista like no ones business. I would recommend her for anyone!

Information Krista S. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences but I would just like to know anything the owner thinks is important such as whether they are friendly around other dogs and other people.

A typical day

If a dog is high energy and the owner would prefer I walk them somewhere besides around their neighborhood I would be thrilled to bring them to the park or the beach! I can also bring dogs to and from the groomer or vet. I would absolutely play fetch and other games with a dog when going on home visits.
