Information Khrys S. would like to know about your pet

Quirks and any behaviors that you feel are important to know. I do not expect a dog to be 100% on their first night and I give them time to decompress and understand their personality.

A typical day

So many toys in the yard! We also go hiking and swimming in small groups. I also have puzzles and various enrichment activities at home.

Pet care experience

Need your pet to be the only boarding dog while I am a multi-dog boarding household? Reach out to inquire about private boarding! I’m Khrys, I am a CCPDT certified dog trainer and former NYC dog walker (2012 to 2020). I now work in marketing where my husband works as a software engineer so we are tech loving dog people! We have a senior rescued pittie named Gumbo, and two rescue cats named Mango & Chai who are his best friends. My soul dog Butter passed in 2022 and he was the star and reason I am where I am in my dog career! I owe it all to him. Layla, the senior Doxie we adopted toward the end of Butter’s life, followed to meet her brother exactly one year later. My husband and I both work from home and I group dogs based on personality when we aren’t home to make sure everyone is safe and happy. Our 3500sqft yard is fenced and we have 4 bedrooms in our 2000sqft home. Wherever your dog feels safest, whether it’s on our bed or in a crate, their feelings and personality is 100% taken into consideration.

Khrys was truly the perfect cat sitter! I booked her to give my cat oral medications - not only was she able to start a booking on very short notice, but she was extremely competent, friendly, and a great communicator. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Going away is much easier knowing Khrys will take care of our three cats and stop by as many times as we like. I never book a flight until I know she is available. She’s that good.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
