Krista can care for
Availability
I am available most hours of everyday of the week, as this is my sole source of income for the time being. I can also bring in mail, take out trash, and water your plants. I have a 8 y/o son that comes with me to care for pets in rare cases. He is knowledgeable enough to know how to behave pleasantly around dogs and cats. He is also respectful of other’s property! He is an animal lover as well 🥰

About Krista T.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I like to conduct a meet & greet with you and your pet prior to visits. This allows me to get to know you and your pet and to see how you prefer them to be cared for. It also gives me a chance to meet them before hand to gain some trust and establish bit of familiarity with them before you leave them in my care. This helps them to be more comfortable with me, knowing that you met me first and allowed me to be there with them. I do not offer in house boarding at this time; however, in the near future I plan on setting up an area for feline boarding in my own home, complete with a huge outdoor catio! More details on that to come…
Information Krista T. would like to know about your pet
If your pet has any health issues that need special care, I can provide proper treatment as needed; including, injections, blood glucose checks, special treatments, medications, special diets, ect. Please let me know if they have food aggression issues, if they are dog aggressive, or if they have ever bitten anyone. I would also like to know if they have any allergies or abnormal eating behaviors (eats rocks, sticks, dirt.) Please inform me if they require a muzzle for walks, I do not view this as a bad thing… for I am aware that muzzles can be used for a whole array of behavior training! **I do not provide muzzles.
A typical day
I am very compassionate and detail-oriented. I love to play with dogs and cats, and will treat them as my own. I will ensure they are well cared for and will tend to their specific needs. I am knowledgeable in veterinary medicine and animal behavior, which allows me to maintain an appropriate level of comfort, for both them and myself. This also ensures heightened awareness of any possible health issues that may occur while you are away, that I will address with you if concern arises. I love taking dogs for walks, and always ensure to have dog spray protection on me incase of an aggressive dog on the loose!

I am an Air Force veteran with 3 years of experience working in Emergency Veterinary Medicine & ICU critical care. I am very knowledgeable on both, feline and canine behavior and health. I have had all kinds of animals throughout my life, and have always had a deep love and respect for them. I have owned cats my entire life and have cared for them at all stages of life!

I will send you pictures of your fur babies and provide them the care, love, and attention they need while you are away!
