Information Kristen B. would like to know about your pet

Each animal is special and it is important their care is customized to them. Anything you can tell me to ensure the easiest transition is greatly appreciated! I will ask about feeding times, potty schedule, treat options (we LOVE treats in this house), sleeping arrangements and accommodate to make your pup feel at home.

A typical day

My backyard consists of a large deck overlooking the yard. We love to stand up there and throw treats for the dogs to sniff out or balls for them to chase. My kids love bike rides while I walk dogs and I’m happy to show your furry friends my neighborhood!

Pet care experience

I took a bit of a break from Rover with the exception of my wonderful regulars (love you all!) but now that my schedule has opened up I am back! I can’t wait to meet your pup 💙 I grew up with a wonderful special needs dog. I learned the signs for seizures and how to care for a dog with medical issues. Snickers started the trajectory of my love for furry friends. 🏥 Cat & Dog First Aid Certified through American Red Cross ✔️ Expert Level Snuggler Over the last 10 years my husband and I have crate and house trained 2 wonderful puppies. Our precious girl, Lola, came as a stray with severe anxiety which we worked through with constant reassurance and love. I have two little cats that love to run and play. They are friendly with other cats, children and all dogs.

Kristen and her family were so welcoming to our 9mo puppy during her first board. There was a whole pack of well-mannered dogs for her to play with and learn from. Their home and yard are set up perfectly for happy dogs to play! I also appreciated that they maintained some of the structure we are trying to instill in her at home: crating at night, feeding at specific times, basic obedience, etc. We will definitely be using them the next time we need to board Noa!

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.
