“Kimberely was the best sitter I have had. I could tell my dog thoroughly enjoyed her time. She stopped to say thank you to Kimberely. Kim creates a loving, safe and fun environment. She watches several dogs at a time which was the best mix for my dog. The dogs were having a dog party every day. I already have Kim booked for my dog's next stay. I know my dog misses Kim already!”

About: Hi! I’m Kristen! I come packed full of dog walking and pet sitting experience. During my 3 years in Chicago, I walked dogs of all shapes & sizes on a regular basis during my lunch breaks, with my most loyal clients being a Boston Terrier and a Wolf-hybrid. Before then, I worked with Cincy Dog Walkers 4-5 days a week for 5 months back in 2018, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and behaviors. I’m also a huge cat-lover, as I especially miss my family cat back home. Loyalty, integrity, good communication and positivity are all values and characteristics I hold myself strictly to -all of which you can guarantee from me. Your pets will be in great hands with me as their caretaker! Feel free to ask me any questions. I’m currently working from home on a Central Time-based schedule, therefore I have open availability in the morning, lunch time, and in the evenings. Due to my flexible schedule, I’m open to moving things around to best fit your needs! In my home, I have a crate that can fit most dogs. I have a fenced-in yard, and live in a great neighborhood for walking!
“Our dog Bratwurst always has a great time with Amir! Would highly recommend Amir to any other dog owners! Amir is always communicative and thoughtful anytime we book a stay with him.”

“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pet as she has a true love for animals and she will welcome them into her home and take care of them as if it was her own pet.”

“Courteous, competent, really helped in a pickle with our challenging puppy. Words can't express how much I appreciate his care for dog. He sent us pictures of how happy she was while we were gone and she very clearly missed him when she got back home. I would definitely ask him to host her again in the future if needed.”

Fairfax dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren is AMAZING! We could tell from the meet and greet that she is a true dog lover and Newton would be happy staying with her. At Lauren’s, he was well cared for and given lots of love. We got a bunch of pictures, which eases my nerves when we’re away on a trip. I could tell he was happy and comfortable because when we picked him up, he was laying on the front porch by her feet happy as can be. Will definitely be booking again!!

Hanna was absolutely excellent while watching Indy last weekend. She provided frequent updates, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear Indy was well cared for the entire time. I could tell Indy was in great hands, and that meant everything to me. I would highly recommend Hanna and would gladly trust her again in the future!

Dion was wonderful with my little Maltese. He had never stayed over at another person's house before and is really anxious in new surroundings. Dion did two small sessions with him before our trip and we came home to a happy little dog. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
Rocky had a great time with Jenny & her family. She kept me updated, sent pics, and was responsive anytime I reached out. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind Jenny gave me while I was away. I will happily call on her again should I have a further need. Highly recommend!
