Cat lover since birth
What I offer
Drop-In Visits
Flexible drop-ins for however long and however often you need. I can care for any type of pet, and my schedule is completely open, you set the pace.
Dog Walking
Solo walks so your pup gets the one-on-one attention and exercise they deserve.
Medical & Special-Needs Care
I have hands-on medical care experience, including subcutaneous/IV fluids, insulin injections, oral medications (pills or liquids), and nail clipping.
Pet care that feels personal
I genuinely love animals of all kinds, and have my entire life. I've always had an easy time connecting with pets, including the shy, nervous, or “difficult” ones. Pets that don't usually warm up to new people have never been a problem for me, and I've received this feedback from pet parents as well. I give pets the time and space they need, and somehow they usually seem to decide pretty quickly that I'm okay.
I offer drop-ins for pets of all kinds, dog walking, and personalized pet care based on your pet's routine and what they actually need. That might mean feeding and litter care, playtime and cuddles, a good walk, or extra attention for senior pets, pets with special routines, or pets who need a little more care and patience.
I'll follow your instructions, keep you updated, and send photos along the way so you can see how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure your animals are happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away, while giving you peace of mind knowing someone you trust is looking after them.
Have a pet who's a little particular or a unique pet? I'd love to meet them. Contact me to set up a meet and greet so we can get to know each other and you can see if I'm the right fit for you and your pets.

Meet my cats
My babies, the reason I do this, and the standard I hold myself to.
Maverick
12 years old
My firstborn, my baby, and my grumpy old man. I rescued him at 8 weeks from a rescue who pulled kittens and moms from kill shelters. He is lazy, food-motivated, and happiest napping in the sun outside — and he is my whole heart.
Goose
10 years old
Found in Patapsco State Park as a tiny kitten with injuries and brought to Howard County Animal Shelter. When Maverick needed a sibling, I stumbled upon Goose and instantly fell in love with his wild little personality.
Charlotte
3 years old
Found outside with a litter of kittens during a heat wave and put up for adoption. She was so cute I instantly decided to become a mom of three.

What pet parents say
From real pet parents on Rover
“Krysta was very generous in accepting my last minute booking request, and was wonderful with my cat, who requires insulin injections and can be a bit feisty at first with new people.”
— Andrea, Cat parent
“Krysta is awesome! She has watched my cats for me on two different occasions and she always sends plenty of pictures and communicates very well to ensure you are 100% comfortable. She is my go to sitter when traveling.”
— Lexie, Cat parent
“Krysta was extremely accommodating and thorough. The daily updates and photos were valuable and demonstrated Krysta's professionalism and compassion. She made it much easier for me to be away from home and my cat!”
— Jordan, Cat parent
“Krysta was super awesome and made friends quickly with our Fraidy-cats! They even allowed her to give them their subcutaneous injections. Krysta was also great bringing the paper and watering the deck plants. 5 stars all around!”
— Jeff, Cat parent
