About Krista

I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life and have always had a genuine love for animals.I have dog and cat sat for many friends and family over the years which has given me great experience for this role. I just simply love animals and want to help be that person who can care for them even if it is just for a short time! I have recently lost my dearest dog Abbey and have decided that I am not ready for another pet yet but I am ready to pet sit as I will be able to give that animal love to your pets. I know that as pet parents we want the best for our babies and I am here to give you peace of mind while you are away your baby is getting all of the love they deserve. Whatever your pet needs, I will be there. Whether they want to go play fetch for hours or just snuggle up and watch a movie I can do it all. I am currently not taking pets in my own home but I am more than happy to visit yours to spend time with your fur babies. I have a large background working with older special needs animals as I know they need extra attention. However, all breed and ages are welcome! I look forward to getting to know you and your fur babies!

My services include:

Dog walking: 30 - 60 minute walks depending on your dogs needs

Dog/cat drop ins: I will come to your home and spend 40-60 minutes with your furry friends. I will feed them and let them out if needed or just spend some quality time with them!

Dog/cat sitting: I will stay overnight at your house to look after your fur babies!

We recently booked Krista so we could get away for a last-minute Easter long weekend ski trip. We are so incredibly pleased with how everything turned out. Our dogs instantly bonded with her and she dedicated time every day to meeting their high-energy needs (border collies). She also took great care of our cat and pet chicken in addition to our home. Communication was frequent and came with pictures! We would not hesitate to have Krista sit for us again and we're looking forward to our next family adventure.

Can't say enough good things about Krista. She stayed in our home and cared for our two cats over the course of an 11 day vacation. She maintained consistent communication with us, provided excellent care, and seemed to have a easy time bonding with our two very shy cats.

Would highly recommend Krista and would hire her again.

I am very familiar and experienced with certain dog training methods and have handled various breeds and temperaments. I am comfortable caring for every fur baby no matter the behaviour. I have looked after many rescue pets in my time and are aware sometimes they require special care and attention. We can chat more about any of this should it be needed.
