We have a large yard in the country with lots of room for activities. Our dogs love to run and play outside as much as they can.

Pets

A typical day

I like to be outside with dogs to ensure they are getting mental & physical activity. This includes fetch in the yard, swimming in the kiddie pool, or taking them for walks at the local forest preserve. We also have an abundance of dog toys!

Kersten can host up to 1 pet per night
It is essential to know a little background on each pet including individual needs, behaviors, favorite games to play and whether they are good on & off leash. Recall, training levels, etc. are not required but a plus!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
