Animal lover - gentle & caring!

Pet care experience

Hi! I have over 20 years of pet care experience. I have personally owned a dog, bunnies, and a hamster. I have fully trained my dog that I had owned (potty & obedience training) and have also trained my bunnies. Friends, family, and clients have trusted me to watch and care for their pets while out of town or on vacation. I have overnight care experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, and hamsters. I am a huge animal lover and am very gentle and caring with all pets! My dog passed away in 2022, but she was such a great pup and lived for 13 years. I would treat your pet as my own, and they will have lots of attention and love! P.S. If my Rover calendar is not showing availability, feel free to reach out anyway!🙂

Krissy was amazing as always. She truly takes the time to make my dogs feel comfortable and consistently maintains their routine. Highly recommend!

Krissy watched our dog Winnie while we were out of town for five days and she did an amazing job! She followed the instructions we left to a tee and provided the best communication we could ask for. We are so thankful to find a new dog sitter and know Winnie is in great hands!

Krissy was great! She was able to help out in a pinch and took great care of our Toby, who normally takes a bit to become comfortable with new people and he settled right in. She took plenty of pictures, shared lots of updates and most of all kept him safe. Will definitely be using her again and highly recommend to others who need a sitter!

We love when Krissy stays with our dog! She sends great updates and pictures, and we know our pup and home are well taken care of.

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.
