“Brittney truly is the best! Extremely reliable and flexible. I've had to switch on her so many times because of my schedule and she's always so accommodating. Super plus is that the dogs love her. Any instructions I send her she follows with no hesitation. Super friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. Thanks Brittney for always keeping me at ease.”


“It’s always good to count with someone who is punctual and above all that takes a great care of my dog! If there were 10 stars I would give him 15. Great and reliable service and he absolutely love animals.”



About: I have grown up with various types of pets for the 20 years of my life. I had two Labradors since I was young, they are not around any more. We have a large yard for plenty of running and playing for any type of dog. We are a big family so there will be someone to play with them. I have pet sat for a friend of my mom for two medium sized dogs for three weeks. I am available on Tuesday mornings because I have class at 6:30 at night and free any time from Thursday through Sunday. According to my sister's weiner dog, I am very good at tug-of-war. We have also extra toys that they can play with here and at home.

About: I was on a farm most of my life, I’ve cared for many types of animals. I love animals and if you need someone to stop by and care for yours I would like to be considered to help out I work from home and my job is very flexible I can stop by to visit your pet and feed and or walk them. Like to meet them I have a little dog and a cat. I can only walk dogs on a leash at my home. I am more than willing to come take your pets out at your home and water and feed them.

About: I’ve spent years caring for my neighbors’ dogs and I love them to death. This is a great opportunity to hangout with and walk more dogs!!! I love dogs of all sizes (but I have a soft spot for the giant ones). I’m patient by nature, so I’m happy to work around your needs as well as your dog’s. I’m adaptable and will make sure I keep my word! Not doing what I say and will when I say I’ll do it makes me incredibly anxious, which is probably not great for my mental health but it makes me a good worker! I don’t have a job so really whenever works, I just need sufficient warning. This also means your pet will be my number one priority! I can walk your pet and feed them at your home or around your neighborhood! I can’t pick them up and take them anywhere, but I’ll make sure they have a good time.

I look forward to providing your pets the full attention they deserve. Whether it’s a dog who enjoys long walks and plenty of treats, or a cat who needs calm and attentive care, I will provide this and more.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes as naturally to me as breathing. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a kid and currently have two of my own—both well-behaved and trained beyond just basic obedience, including fun tricks to keep them engaged. My full-time job keeps me surrounded by dogs who come in and out of the office. I also have a deep understanding of senior dog care, puppy care and canine nutrition, ensuring every pup in my care gets the best possible attention. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me hiking with my dogs or planning our next dog-friendly adventure. I don’t have human kids, but my dogs are my world, and I’ll treat yours like family too! I currently have a full time job that I work 4 days a week so I’m available 3 days a week - Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. I will abide by the owners preference on letting their dog out as I understand everyone has their own way of handling this. If their yard is fenced and a simple open the door and go - that’s a plus but more than happy to put the leash on and go around!

“Our little Leia loved Kristine. Kristine kept us updated the whole time, sent plenty of pictures throughout, and a great summary at the end. She was very respectful of our home. We are new to Rover and this was a GREAT 1st experience. We already booked her for another date.”
