I’m currently a stay at home mom caring for my 6 year old son who is recovering from cancer. This job will allow the flexibility and meet the “out of public” requirement as our family needs to avoid illness while he recovers. Other than a 2-3 hour clinic visit twice a week, I am home and available.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard back yard and a mostly quiet neighborhood where kids can play in the street safely. I have 2 cats and a rabbit of my own. All 3 are indoor animals with free range of the house. My rabbit has his own little house in our living room that he can safely retreat to when he’s not out for play time. A perfect space for any curious pet visitors we may have as they won’t be able to access him and cause any ruckus. If I am coming to your home, you can expect more than just a quick feed and potty break. Owners leaving can cause anxiety and stress on a pet. I have the time and heart to offer love, playtime, or needed snuggles and comfort your pet might miss while you’re away.

Information Krysten G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets require anything special when first meeting them or throughout care for them and any leash troubles. The last thing I would want is for an escape in my care. How are your animals with strangers? I do have a child in the home as well, is your pet friendly with children?

A typical day

Your furry friend can count on sniffing all the new smells around the neighborhood, some good stimulating exercise outdoors (whether at your house or mine), and tons of cuddles if they want it! Let me know how they do on car rides, I enjoy stopping by local parks!

Pet care experience

Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My sister worked at a zoo, so our home was basically a mini-safari—dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and the occasional surprise guest. Growing up around such a wide variety of animals taught me patience, respect, and how to read their personalities. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or a bit of both, I know how to make them feel comfortable and cared for.

Krysten cared for our 8 month old German Shepherd pup for a week with short notice when our previous arrangement cancelled. She made time to meet in advance and took our pup in while she was in heat. She sent videos and pictures while we were away. So grateful!

Highly recommend Krysten for any pet needs. Her and her partner took amazing care of our 2 cats and bunny. Her first visit she noticed my bunny actually needed to see any emergency vet. She brought him in and stayed with him on the holiday. She truly cares about your pets wellbeing. Highly recommend her and her I’ll definitely use her again.

Krysten was absolutely amazing with our dog, Sadie. This was my first time leaving my dog in the care of a stranger. But you can tell she loves animals & your pet is in GREAT hands. We will absolutely use her services again.
