"I use a pet sitter primarily during the day, when I'm at work. I really believe that our dogs are more calm because of the exposure to another person AND because they get some of the energy burned off during the day. It's absolutely worth the money: having our 'babies' checked on during the day (especially as they get older -- another set of eyes to monitor their health). Our pet sitter is part of our family, and we couldn't get along without her!" ~Dawn

“Krista has taken great care of my two cats for the last 5 years, as I travel for business and personal. She is very conscientious, and is a great bargain. I don't know what I would do without her. She also will pick up the mail, water plants, etc, and her fee is very reasonable.” ~ Stacy P.
“Krista has been the primary care provider for my pets (cats, dogs, fish, and sometimes reptiles) for many years now and I highly recommend her. She can handle a number of animals at once (large and small alike), is communicative, responsible, flexible and accommodating, and my pets have always loved her. Knowing that my pets and my home are in responsible and caring hands while I away makes all the difference in feeling that things are okay without me and that I will be contacted right away if there is any need. Krista genuinely loves animals and her dedication shows. Detailed notes about the animals habits, behaviors, and their interaction during the care period allow me to know exactly how things went while I was away. This is expert pet care in the stress-free environment of their own home.” ~ Leslie U.
“I felt fully confident, and my expectations were completely met, when hiring Krista to care for our cats and fish in our home while we vacationed. She visited our home prior to the trip, made "connections" with our pets, pleasantly and willingly listened to and adhered to all given special needs and instructions, and happily answered our inquiring calls about our pets while we were gone. We came home to happy, healthy pets and a still spotless home! Krista not only meets high standards, she exceeds them going above and beyond to care for your pets while you are away so you can enjoy your ventures free of worry about your "family!"” ~ Bekah G.
“Krista has provided excellent care for our furry family members when we have been out of town. During a two-week trip to Guatemala last spring, she came to our home everyday, feeding, medicating, cleaning up after and playing with, our rabbit and eight ferrets. Krista's obvious love for animals, combined with her reliability and trustworthiness, give us piece of mind that our fur-babies are being well taken care of. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend "When You're Away" for your fuzzy ones.” ~ Abby D.
“Krista does a great job with the pets. My dogs love her. I would not hesitate to hire her again and have referred her pet watching services to others.” ~ Mylinda
“While I always feel a little guilty leaving my cats, knowing that Krista will be giving them some loving attention while I am away, eases that guilt. Soon after meeting her, I knew she had the same love for animals and I knew my cats would be in good hands.” ~ Susan K.
“Krista has a real heart for animals. She sees them as part of your family and strives to give your pets the best care possible. I've hired her several times and she's very professional and personable. I highly recommend Krista Anderson as your pet care provider.” ~ Marge S.
