Dog-Loving Veterinarian, Home FT

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a small animal veterinarian and manage my pet supplement company from home. Your pup will be with me 24/7 and cared for like my own. Depending on your pup's needs, I will make sure he is loved, exercised, and mentally stimulated. I have a very active 10yo female Golden Retriever who loves having "furry companions" to hang out with - to play, walk, cuddle, or hike with. We lost our other Golden Retriever last year and miss having another dog in the house. As a veterinarian, I can manage medical conditions, special diets, or special needs. I am happy to help or talk about temperament or behavioral issues. I will communicate with you daily via text/phone while you are away. I do have two boys who adore dogs and are fairly experienced with them. I also have a rescue barn cat - who thinks she's a dog. I would want to make sure your pup is child and cat-friendly.

EXCELLENT! When caring for my 18-week Australian Cattle Dog, Kris exceeded my expectations overwhelmingly! It was truly a vacation for my pup: plenty of long walks throughout the day, socialization with other dogs at the park, and tons of tender, loving care. Kris went above and beyond to ensure my dog adjusted to her new environment quickly. In every way, this is the best experience a dog owner can ask for! I feel so fortunate to have found Kris as a sitter!

As a first time user of Rover, I did not know what to anticipate when it came to finding, communicating with, and booking a dog sitter. However, Kris completely surpassed all of my expectations! Shortly after responding to my request for doggy day care for our pup, Lily, Kris was on the phone with me and my wife, providing additional info on her background, home setup, and experience with animals — she's a veterinarian, by the way, so she knows what she's doing! It was clear to us that Kris has a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and we immediately knew that Lily would be in good hands. Kris asked us questions about how we usually treat and take care of Lily to maintain consistency and ensure that Lily was comfortable at all times. Her level of detail was truly amazing and reassuring for us, as Lily is very much our fur baby. Where Kris truly went above and beyond was that she inquired about our plans for the day and suggested options for where and when to meet to pick up and drop off Lily, happily working her schedule around ours. While looking after Lily, Kris sent us periodic updates and photos of Lily hiking and playing with her own wonderfully behaved and mild-mannered dog, Sydney. Kris also took Lily on two hikes, ensuring that she would be tuckered out for our drive back to Denver. We could not have been happier with Kris as a dog sitter. She treated Lily exactly how we do everyday and it was clear to us that Lily was completley at ease with her the entire time. Kris' flexibility and genuine love of animals make her the absolute best option when it comes to dog sitting! Because of this experience, I will be recommending Rover to all of my dog-owning friends. And for anyone looking for a sitter in the Edwards/Avon/Eagle-Vail area, you should absolutely book with Kris — she is the best!

Information Kris L. would like to know about your pet

We would do a meet/greet first with you and your pup and talk at length about your pup - personality, energy level, activity preferences, feeding schedule, sleeping schedule, medications, emergency information, any dog/cat/people aggression, or any other concerns.

A typical day

We live close to Open Space and tons of trails. Depending on your dog's needs, I will customize our outings to their age, activity, and energy levels. I am happy to hike several miles a day, play fetch, or simply walk around the neighborhood or take your pup on car rides. I am comfortable with dogs that are off-leash trained but also happy to work with dogs that need to be on a leash at all times.
