Pet care experience

Your dog’s extended family

I am new to pet sitting as a career, as I have been working as an RN for 6 years. I do have a very sweet pup of my own that I adopted and she is the love of my life. I have always loved dogs and am looking to pivot my career in this direction (from caring for people to caring for dogs) because dogs bring me so much happiness. I also live right across from Shands so it would be convenient for drop off/pick up if you prefer that option :)

Safety, trust & environment

I love making dogs feel comfortable and keeping them entertained. Socializing and training dogs is also a fun challenge for me. I love learning a dog’s behaviors/quirks and learning how they communicate, so I can appropriately meet their needs and make them feel safe. I would also love to maintain consistency with your pet’s routine, whether that be in your home or mine. I want your dog to know they can spend the day with me and then you’ll be there after a long day of work. As a pet parent, I understand the hope that my dog doesn’t worry that I’ve abandoned her when i’m away. I think that consistency and familiarity is a great way to communicate this to your dog, so if you are happy with the care of your pup, I would love to build a consistent schedule with you.

Krista is the best dog sitter ever. She took care of my pup Lyla and I could tell by my dogs face that she had a blast. Lyla is a high energy dog and she made sure to play with her and walk her until she was all worn out. I would give Krista a 5 paw service!!

Let me know if there are any special needs or training that needs to be consistent. Please let me know how they interact with other dogs and what their activity level is, or if they have specific activities that they enjoy that I can try to incorporate.
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.
