  Krista has been an excellent house sitter and pet caretaker for us many times. She has consistently been reliable and trustworthy. She looks after our finicky kitty with care and patience. She also tends to the plants, waters the garden, deals with the mail and packages. Everything is always in great shape when we return.
  
  Krista has taken care of our children while we have been away. When Krista is in charge of our kids, pets, house I am completely at ease and know that I truly don't have to worry about any of the details. The most important thing I can tell you about Krista is that I completely trust her. And you can too.

  I've had Krista look after my two cats multiple times and she has always been extremely professional, efficient, and left my mind at ease. Not only will she fulfill any little household request (leave the blinds up this day, or the light on here), but she is a true gentle soul when it comes to kitties. I feel so comforted when I'm way from home knowing that my cats are getting some quality time with a real animal lover, and that my home is in able hands. I highly recommend Krista!

  I'm a mom of two school-aged boy, two dogs, and a cat. I've known Krista for over two years now and for 18 months, she was our primary childcare provider. She provided child and pet care approximately 20 hours a week and when we would travel, she would house and pet sit.

  I'm a mom of two school-aged boy, two dogs, and a cat. I've known Krista for over two years now and for 18 months, she was our primary childcare provider. She provided child and pet care approximately 20 hours a week and when we would travel, she would house and pet sit.
  
  Krista is everything you would want in a house or pet sitter. She is extremely mature, responsible, careful, dependable, trustworthy, and caring. She is very conscientious and has a level of integrity that is unquestionable. I never once worried about my home or whether my pets would be well cared for...they were. She is also an excellent communicator and proactively ensured that she was clear about dates, times, expectations, etc.
  
  Finally, Krista is someone who really values doing great work and being appreciated and trusted. She goes above and beyond. My house was always spotless upon return. And, she is extremely organized so if you need someone to help you clean out or organize an area of your house, she is exceptional at that. I know, because she helped me do the same.
  
  You will not go wrong in hiring Krista. She is terrific.

  I am a friend of Krista's and am a professional investment consultant to institutions. In the 6 years I have known her, we co-habitated/shared living spaces many times, including vacation rentals and staying in private homes belonging to friends. Most recently, she visited me in Utah for 10 days, where we stayed in a friend's large home with FIVE dogs—a massive German shepherd, two purebred golden retrievers, and 2 older terriers—all of whom took an immediate liking to Krista. One of the terriers, Duchess, was especially fond of her (maybe because K. spent hours rubbing her belly and brushing her). Our friend commented jokingly several times that Duchess "might like to go home with Krista permanently," because she got so much loving attention from her. She was also a great houseguest, and took time (while on vacation) to deep-clean a few of the bathrooms and help plant a small herb garden as a "thank you" to our hosts, which they really appreciated.
  
  In all the time I have known Krista, she has been a huge animal lover. She was devoted to her own cat, Quark, and devastated when he passed away last January. Besides a love of travel and exploring new places, I know one of the reasons Krista joined Trusted Housesitters is that she genuinely appreciates the love and companionship animals give and receive. The opportunity to live in situations while traveling where she can nurture a pet and take good care of a home and garden for someone in their absence will give her a lot of joy. She is ultra-clean, reliable, and will give your pet(s), plants, and home as much attention and love as you would want while you are away.
