Kristen was a fantastic fit for our Rody! He settled in easily with her pups and enjoyed being her work buddy while we were away. Great communication and easy drop off and pick up. Thank you so much!

Kirsten has such a calm presence that our dog felt very comfortable with her right away. She introduced her dogs to ours in a safe and controlled manner and took excellent care of him throughout his stay. Her experience with dogs was evident, and she followed all of the instructions we left with ease. We couldn’t recommend Kirsten more highly.

Schedule

I work from my home and make my own schedule so I am pretty flexible and can accommodate most schedules for walks, feeding and enrichment. I can’t accept recurring walks except in the mornings however because my schedule is a little unpredictable from week to week.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, and work from home, so your pets won’t be left alone for extended periods. If they board with me, they must be crate-trained so that they can be contained at night and when I am out.

Pets

A typical day

I am physically active, so walks will be tailored to your dogs needs. I can wear out high-energy dogs, or take it slow for the older guys.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Takes only 1 client at a time
Kirsten can host up to 2 pets per night
I have veterinary training, so can accommodate most special needs. I do require a meet and greet prior to booking new clients with big dogs, for my safety and theirs, so typically can’t accept last minute requests for new customers.
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.
