About: While I’m new to caring for others’ dogs, I’m an experienced dog owner. I’ll provide the same attentive, loving care I expect for my own. I work from home from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., so morning drop-offs must be before 7:00 a.m. This gives your dog plenty of time to settle in, get comfortable, and enjoy at least 45 minutes of playtime before I start my workday. My work schedule allows me plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Because I do work from home, dogs staying with me should also be comfortable relaxing independently while I’m in meetings or focused on work. They’ll never be short on attention—they just need to be happy hanging out while I get some work done too! Your dog’s safety is my top priority. My home provides a calm, comfortable environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I only accept small, potty-trained dogs with no history of aggression or resource guarding to help keep everyone safe and comfortable. I have a fully fenced yard for potty breaks, fresh air, and supervised playtime. Dogs are never left outside unattended—I will always be outside with them. I also closely supervise interactions between dogs, especially during meals, treats, and playtime. Since I work from home, I’m here throughout the day to provide regular potty breaks, attention, and supervision. My goal is for you to feel confident that your dog is safe, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.

About: Loving, Dependable In-Home Pet Care 🐾 Hi, I’m Kristi! I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members while you’re away, giving them plenty of love, attention, and companionship in the comfort of their own home. I grew up with dogs and cats and have owned four very active Labrador Retrievers throughout my life. I understand firsthand how deeply our pets become part of our families. They deserve the same love, patience, and care we would want for any member of our family. With more than 20 years of experience in the health and wellness industry, I value being dependable, attentive, compassionate, and responsible. I bring that same thoughtful approach to caring for animals. I believe one of the kindest things we can do for our pets when their families travel is to keep life as familiar as possible. They may already miss their people, and moving to an unfamiliar environment can add unnecessary stress. In-home pet sitting allows them to maintain their routines, enjoy familiar surroundings, and receive personalized attention and affection. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I will follow your instructions carefully and respect your home as well as your pet’s individual needs. I also hope to pursue therapy-dog training in the future because I believe animals have an incredible ability to bring comfort and joy to people of all ages. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving thoughtful, loving care in the place they know best. I would love to meet you and your pets to see if we’re a good fit! 🐶🐾 When you’re away, you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and lovingly cared for in the familiar surroundings of their own home. Hiand enjoy the environment they know best. I take the time to learn each pet’s unipersonality, preferences, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and reassuring. Staying at home can help reduce stress and anxiety, especially for pets who feel most comfortable with their usual surroundings, routines, and belongings. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, gentle companionship, playtime, walks, medication reminders, or simply someone nearby, I provide the individual attention and loving care they deserve. I care for private duty senior/elderly clients. My schedule can be rearranged most of the time. I’m 24/7 if not already booked. I am available for a last minute visit, overnight, vacations and believe it is catalyst and your furry family experience stress to care for them in your home. I feel our furry families are much more comfortable in their own home/surroundings as they experience enough stress and anxiety when their parents leave them behind. “Your Pet’s Safety, Comfort, and Trust Come First.” “I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.”

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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Austin commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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.
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 .
