Can I love on ur animal?

Growing up, as an only child, pets were my siblings! My mom was a dog breeder, and I enjoyed from the age of five every two years helping breed and raise puppies by train them. I’m very confident in my dog skills. I had the privilege of grow up with snakes, mice, fish, frogs, cats, and dogs. I used to be involved in my neighborhood as an animal rescue. And could be friend any wild or loose dog, whether it was even a German Shepherd, or chow and typically help them find their owners. Since finishing grad school, I’ve been wanting to get more involved with pets in my community. I feel like every pet has their own feeling with ur individualist personality. I find it an honor to connect with animals to help them feel comfortable to be them, self whether in their home or out in the world. I love going on walks and enjoy the company of a dog! I myself have a four-year-old cat and I’m looking getting another one this year. And I have enjoyed taking a rescue cat and embracing her unique personality which is incredibly playful and energetics!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment on the third floor that has a balcony. I do let my cat out onto the balcony and she understands the respects Heights. I do not plan on really pet sitting at my apartment.

House Sitting • jun. 27, 2026

We needed to find a replacement sitter for our recent trip as our go-to sitter recently moved out of the area. One of our dogs can be anxious around strangers so we always hate having to find someone new. Krista is a rock star! Our fur kids LOVED her from our first meet and greet until we got home. Our anxious dog immediately took to her (always trust a dog’s nudge of character!) and it immediately put our mind at ease. Fantastic communication from start to finish, we always had daily updates and lots of photos, and she even tidied up the house before she left. If you have any hesitation, DON’T! Krista is the real deal! She’s become our new go-to sitter for Bailey, Bandit and Cooper!

Krista is excellent. She communicates daily and not only took care of my kittens as I had asked, she noted and cleaned up a couple messes they made. If I need someone to watch them again, she will be first on the list.

I have a lot of passion towards animals! And I’m wanting to add my service through rover as a hobby into my life! I am currently not working. Since finishing grad school, I do hope to start work in the next few months. So I still plan to keep on pet sitting in the next chapter of my life.
