I am currently a college student, and I am only in class 1.5-4 hours a day (Monday-Thursday). I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to spend a lot of time with the pets I look after and give them frequent walks. I am also home a lot of the day to hang out with them!

New to Rover, But Years of Pet Care

Pet care experience

I am new to Rover, but I have been caring for dogs and even horses for many years. I used to dog-walk and pet-sit for my neighbors in high school. I am currently a senior in college and have been taking care of animals in my apartment building for some time. I grew up with a pomeranian mix, whom I helped train. I have experience with a variety of breeds and sizes, as well as special needs. I am happy to do a meet and greet with your pet and answer any and all questions you may have!

We had the best experience with Kirsten!! Winnie was in great hands & we did not worry for a second. She gave the perfect amount of updates and was so flexible with the pick-up time.

Kirsten did an excellent job in taking care of Gogol when I was away for ten days. Will definitely recommend her for taking care of your pet. Thank you Kirsten.

Kirsten was terrific and very communicative. Harley liked her right away when we did a meet and greet, and was well cared for.

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.
