Treating Your Pet Like My Own!

Pet care experience

I have had a connection with animals since the day I was born! I grew up with multiple high energy agility dogs - from the high strung border collie, gentle golden retriever to the doberman that needs a job! There is no discrimination when it comes to any dogs - especially the ones who are labeled as “misunderstood.” I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from really small to extra large! I grew up with 3 active dogs as well as owned/cared for a horse for several years. I am a very active person - my dog and I enjoy walks around our quiet neighborhood, hikes in environment safe parks, visits to the fire station and walks in downtown Venice or Punta Gorda! I try to avoid dog parks unless asked to go for the safety of your dog! Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Krista was absolutely amazing. She took really care of my 2 cats. One of them is 15 yrs old and needed twice daily meds. I couldn’t have chosen better. Thank you Krista!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 4 year old doberman who is my absolute best friend. He is fixed, up to date on shots, and gets monthly heart worm and tick treatment. He is exceptional around all animals. Loves to play and be chased. I am in the process of having a fence put in but because of the hurricane it’s been a delayed process, however my dog doesn’t run away either so there has been no rush. I do live on a canal however it’s far enough away from my house up on a hill. We never allow any animals down there for their safety and no one on the block has had any issues. I actually prefer and don’t mind hand walking and long walks. My neighborhood is very quiet and desolate as it is pushed back and a new build. If you have any questions or would like to see photos please feel free to ask!

Information Krista S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you have any requests for your fur baby! I can easily accommodate what fits your pets needs with no issue at all.

A typical day

My dog and I are very active. We enjoy long walks around the neighborhood, going for car rides and hiking through parks. We enjoy walks in downtown Venice or along the walkway in Punta Gorda. We do visit my fiancé at the fire department sometimes when he is on the shift as the firefighters love therapeutic doggy visits! If you have a request as to how much you would like your fur baby to be exercised or rested, please let me know!
