I work a freelance job mostly at home (and sometimes on-site) and am available most weekdays for at home care/drop in visits/walks. If your dog needs special or longer attention at home (more frequent walks, assistance in eating or training), I can definitely accommodate their needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to care for only small and medium sized dogs in my own home. We have room for your dog to roam around, and only have a couple steps leading up to our front door. We have a fenced backyard garden for emergency potty breaks. Any outdoor play/lounging would involve a car trip to a local park (none walking distance).

Information Krista W. would like to know about your pet

Any specifics needs or attentive care - physical or mental (favorite toy for comfort? skin rash?) Habits and preferences (bad habits to look out for, favorite hiding spot, etc) and personality - how your dog interacts with other dogs and humans.

A typical day

I love long leisurely walks and an additional short run if your dog has more energy to expend! If your neighborhood has a great walking path or nature, I like staying in familiar territory, otherwise I can take a short drive to a park. Lots of tricks and command exercises and toys to keep your dogs mind engaged.

Dog walking is my hobby!

Pet care experience

I love a furry companion for weekend hangs! I am attentive to any of your dog’s specific needs and can match their energy - whether it’s lots of belly rubs at home or a long energetic walk in the park. I also volunteer at Pasadena Humane Society!

Kristha was the best! We booked for a last minute trip and she was so ready and willing to help with our pup Sadie. She’s so kind, helpful and responsive and she gave great updates while we were away. Sadie is an energetic dog and can be nervous meeting new people and she took to Kristha right away :) we are grateful to have found her and hope to have her again soon!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
