We both work remotely during the week with flexible hours, so your furry companion's comfort is our utmost priority, and we will diligently adhere to their established routine right from the beginning. Our Rover calendar is kept up to date so you can see when we are available. We only book up to two months in advance, unless you are a current client. For house sitting clients, the cost is for staying overnight, and dropping in (in and out) during the day depending on pet needs. House sitting pricing is not inclusive of 24/7 care. If 24/7 care is needed, we can discuss further!

Information Krista & Zachary H. would like to know about your pet

Medical History: Any health conditions, allergies, medications, or dietary restrictions. Behavior: Insight into a dog's behavior and temperament allows me to provide tailored care and ensure a safe environment. Information about their socialization skills, interaction with other dogs, and any specific behavioral triggers or challenges helps us understand and manage their needs. Activity Requirements: Understanding their energy level, preferred exercise routines, and any limitations helps us plan appropriate activities and ensure your pet receives adequate physical and mental stimulation. Feeding/Dietary Preferences: Knowing a dog's regular feeding schedule is essential to prevent any digestive issues or allergies while they are staying with us. Training: Familiarity with the dog's training commands they respond to helps me maintain consistency and reinforce positive behaviors during their stay. Emergency Contacts: Having emergency contact information for you, as well as the contact details for their primary veterinarian, in case of any unforeseen emergencies or medical situations that may arise.

A typical day

Pet care experience

Krista is the main point of contact, and depending on scheduling and/or pet needs, it will be Krista or Zach conducting the visits. This will be discussed up front! We are Zachary and Krista - passionate animal lovers. We are experienced foster dog parents (with Little Paws Dachshund Rescue) with three rescue doxies. We provide premium care for both your pups, kitties and other pets! As pet parents and experienced dog foster parents over the past 6 years, we bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in caring for our furry friends. For drop-in visits and walking clients, we make sure to be a trusted companion for your dog or cat during the visit and will feed, snuggle, play, administer medications and/or walk as you instruct. Our service radius for visits is 10 miles of Glasco/Saugerties, NY. We can be flexible based on location and timing. We have experience giving injections (B12 and insulin), subcutaneous fluids via IV, experience with anxious and reactive dogs, as well as caring for special needs pups (recovering from surgeries, disabilities, IVDD). Happy to discuss non-traditional animal care as well (i.e. rabbits, ferrets, chickens, reptiles, birds).

Krista did an excellent job taking care of our two cats while we were away for a week. We will definitely use her again! Thank you Krista!

Krista must be the cat whisperer. My very spoiled kittens remembered her and were happy she visited us today while I had to attend medical records!

Krista added a visit on for our senior cat when our flight was cancelled. In the middle of all the stress/chaos it was so nice to know our cat was being cared for. Thank you Krista for being so fabulous!! ☺️

Krista was fabulous!! Her visits with our senior cat while we were away made all of us less anxious about the trip. Krista took wonderful care of Java and the photos & notes she provided were greatly appreciated! Book her now! 😊
