About: With 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I bring a lifetime of animal care knowledge to every walk, visit, and stay. I've been a devoted dog owner for over two decades, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior, body language, and the little things that make dogs feel safe and comfortable in new environments. My experience goes beyond my own pets. I spent a year as an office manager at a veterinarian practice, where I worked closely with veterinary staff, observed a wide range of health and behavioral issues, and learned to recognize signs of illness, discomfort, or distress in animals, knowledge I carry into every pet I care for. I am also a volunteer at the Erie Humane Society, working directly with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds, including animals who needed extra patience, socialization, or a calm, confident handler. Rounding out my experience, I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare, managing groups of dogs throughout the day, monitoring play styles, catching early signs of stress or conflict, and keeping everyone safe and happy. Whether it's a quick walk around the block, a longer outing, or overnight house sitting, I treat every dog in my care like my own, with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for the job. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I'd love to help care for your best friend! My part-time job gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of availability for walks, visits, and overnight stays, so your pet gets consistent, unhurried care. When I care for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care as I do your pet. I follow your pet's established routine as closely as possible. Feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special habits or quirks that make them feel comfortable and secure. I take time to learn where things are kept (food, leashes, medications, cleaning supplies) so there's no scrambling or guesswork during my visits. Your home stays exactly as you left it: doors locked, lights as needed, mail and packages brought in, and any small tasks (like watering plants or rotating lights) handled if requested. I'm attentive to details like making sure gates and doors are secure, keeping an eye out for anything unusual, and treating your home like it's my own while you're away. Throughout my visits or stay, I send regular updates with photos so you can see your pet is happy, fed, and cared for, giving you peace of mind no matter where you are. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit or an overnight stay, my goal is always the same: your pet feels safe and loved, and you come home to everything just as it should be.
“Kristen did great caring for our 2 dogs- one who has epilepsy and requires oral medications. She was willing to drive to us to house sit even though we are a bit of a distance from her.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 1, different breeds too. I have experience of sitting, walking, bathing, taking care of, etc. I have many experiences with different ages of dogs aswell. I’m currently a high schooler, after school is convenient and so are weekends. I am available after school at 4, on the weekends whenever time is convenient for you, and calendar days off anytime that is convenient for you. The only day of the week I cannot do is the first Wednesday of every month. In my home, I have a chocolate lab whom I taught basic needs to, such as going to the bathroom, crate training, sit, stay, laydown, etc. I also have taught him to go for walks throughout my neighborhood which is a mellow area to take walks in.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Atlantic walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Atlantic maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Atlantic choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
