Safety, trust & environment

I think structure is important for a pet, so I am happy to use whatever training tools you have already implemented. We pet parents don't mess around when it comes to our babies, so whatever routines work for your pet (no matter how specific or silly you may think), I'm happy to oblige.

Information Kirsten D. would like to know about your pet

Every animal is unique, so please let me know if your pet has any quirks or specific routines that I should know about - i.e. my dog won't eat his food unless he gets his release command "okay."

A typical day

I believe mental and physical stimulation are equally important for your pet's wellbeing. I love playing games, practicing tricks or obedience, and letting them explore the world outside.

Certified Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether you've got a zoomie-powered puppy, a senior snoozer, or somewhere in between, I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to their unique needs. As a pet parent myself, I have hands-on experience working with reactive and anxious dogs, and I understand the patience, consistency, and awareness they require. I’m comfortable following specific training techniques, avoiding triggers on walks, and creating a calm, safe environment to help your pet feel secure and supported. My experience also includes: Puppies: Reinforcing routines, basic commands, and plenty of supervised play High-energy/working dogs: Structured exercise, mental enrichment, and keeping a consistent schedule Senior dogs: Gentle care, administering medications if needed, and keeping a steady routine Cats: From social snugglers to independent explorers—I respect their space while making sure they feel safe and enriched Other small animals: I’m happy to care for other furry (or feathered!) companions as well. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, lots of love, and a dependable sitter you can trust. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away.

Kristen was very attentive to our pups! Was also very flexible we had to book someone last minute for going out of town and she was able to fit our babies into her schedule! Gave us consistent updates/photos of our pups! Would 100% recommend!

Kirsten was very communicative and took great care of my kitties, making sure my chronically ill girl took her meds even when she was being uncooperative.

Kirsten is a great communicator and flexible with the schedule. She went above and beyond with helping feed and entertain my pups while we were away last minute! Would recommend!!

Kirsten was extremely helpful to help on a short notice. She was very responsive to reply to me. She relieved a lot of my anxieties with having a senior dog. I would trust Kirsten with my dog again!

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.
