Sent text and pictures on a daily basis. Also sent positive comments about Stormie’s behavior. Stormie seemed to get along with other dogs and got lots of exercise. Glad she gave the chicken back! We think she had a good time and seems happy.

Kristi is one of the kindest thoughtful sitters I’ve found. She’s responsive and takes such good care of my dog that he doesn’t want to come home. I highly recommend her to anyone. She’s simply the best.

Wonderful! Kristi cared for my baby like he was her own. She helped him with an in-grown dew-nail and cut off a couple of hair mats. She even gave him gifts to open for Christmas 💖. Great experience. I will definitely use Kristi again.

We had never left our beloved Shichon, Boo, with anyone before entrusting him to his very own guardian angels, Kristi and Shannon. In all of Boo’s nearly 14 years, my husband and I were his only caregivers. We even sold our home, when we retired, and bought an RV so that, wherever we went, Boo would always go with us. Our dilemma was that our son bought us tickets to Hawaii and the quarantine requirements there on dogs made taking Boo impossible. We turned to ROVER and that’s when we met Kristi and Shannon and our troubles ended. We took Boo for a meet and greet and had no need to look any further. We were so nervous to leave our boy with anyone before. Kristi and Shannon eased those fears immediately and treated Boo with such love and patience and updated us on a daily basis with pictures and anecdotes that eased our stress and brought smiles of relief. We found in them a treasure that enabled us to accept a once in a lifetime gift from our son and a knowledge that Boo was well cared for and loved. I cannot recommend them enough! We are so grateful for all they did for our sweet fur baby and for my husband and me! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We will never entrust our sweet boy to anyone else but them if we must leave him again.

Schedule

Changed name from Kristi to Emma. Dogs will always get to do what they enjoy. Dogs have daily schedules for meal and treat times. All other times will be filled with exploring the outdoors with me or playing under the dome. Massages in the morning and cuddle time thrown in especially before bed. Dogs with need for brushing receive some grooming attention daily.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard and a flea/pest free landscape design. The dogs have a separate play area within another fenced off area for their safety and comfort. This allows safe dry outdoor play even in the winter. Both areas allow for lots of zoomies.

Pets

A typical day

Dogs will explore the back yard and play in the tennis court and greenhouse with me. We chase ducks and chickens through the fence. They try to get little birds or squirrels and even bunnies in the front yard. Fetch and tug of war are favorites. Also the dogs gravitate towards chasing each other around the almost acre of yard available to them. They end the day using me as a pillow for the night.
