Availability

After retiring from a 26-year career, I’m now happily focusing on my passion: pet sitting and animal care. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I look forward to meeting new furry friends each week!

Information Kristen C. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know anything that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable—like their routine, favorite activities, personality quirks, or any fears or triggers. I also appreciate knowing about medical needs, dietary restrictions, and how they typically behave around other animals or new people. The more I know, the better I can provide care that feels just like home for your pet!

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I like to match activities to their personality and energy level! For playful pups, I love going on walks, playing fetch, or having a good tug-of-war session. For more relaxed pets, I’m all about cozy cuddle time, gentle brushing, and lots of belly rubs. Whether it’s active play or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and engaged.

Pet care experience

I care for our special needs Chug (Chihuahua/Pug mix) named Briggs who has anxiety, so I’m very attuned to a pet’s body language and emotional needs. I also love our 2 year old cat and have looked after animals of all ages throughout my life—dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, hamsters, and fish—each one unique and loved. To me, pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, care, and affection I give my own. I keep my Rover calendar availability updated, as I respect the value of your time trying to arrange for Rover services.

Kristen has been so patient with our anxious boy. She is kind and clearly loves animals. We will definitely rebook!

Kristen has been an exceptional help for me and my dog. She always goes above and beyond and it is so reassuring to have someone who cares about my dog and knows what she's doing. Highly recommend!

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.
