Dog Lover on 1/3 Acre (Fenced-in)
Pet care experience
I have had a dog my entire life. Right now, my husband and I do not own a dog. We frequently watch my parents' dog, Ollie, who lives across the street. He is an absolute sweetheart who gets along with everyone. My family and I treat Ollie as if he were one of us, so your dog would be treated with the same love and kindness. My husband and I are different from other sitters in that we treat a Rover dog like they are our own. Your pup will have access to every space. My husband works from home and I am usually home (though sometimes I gave to go in to my office). They get 24/7 attention and are cared for as of they are our children.
Reviews
My shy older dog adjusted quickly and seemed very happy. Plenty of photos--I always appreciate that. Pleased with her care of my dog and I highly recommend her.
My husband and I bring our two doggies everywhere. They are our babies. They are rescue dogs, seniors now, and our schnauzer is blind and diabetic. Normally, we only trust family with them, but with a destination family wedding, we had to find a sitter. Enter amazingly awesome Kristen and her hubby Stan. We could not have ordered better sitters from Heaven! They treated our precious dogs with so much love, kindness and care that I'm pretty sure they didn't want to leave with boring old us at the end! They kept us updated on how they were doing with texts and adorable pics, administered Whiskey's insulin injections like pros, and cared for them like they were their own. Mr. Darcy is normally skittish around strangers and we saw pics of Stan with his arm around our fluff all and then saw him snuggling Kristen in person! I would trust them with our most loved friends any time. Thank you both for making this the easiest trip away from them we've ever had. Big hugs!!! ???
Kristen was awesome with my dog Ellie! I felt sad for Ellie when I picked her up. She went on long walks on the beach, met new friends, and was able to accompany Kristen 24/7! I don't have the luxury of having my dog by my side throughout the day. Kristen has genuine love for dogs and cared for Ellie beyond my expectations. She sent frequent updates with photos of Ellie playing and enjoying life with a completely new set of friends. Kristen even takes Ellie to work! What a dream vacation for Ellie. I can't recommend Kristen enough!
Kristen has done really well interacting with a wire haired fox terrier, a mixed breed and a Great Dane- she really enjoys being around dogs

The dog must get along with children, as we have two of them. We also need to know how the dog interacts with other dogs.
A typical day
Your dog's sleeping arrangement There are many options for where your dog can sleep, depending on your preferences. The bed, the floor, bring your own doggy bed, some dogs like to sleep in their crate- we are flexible and we can talk about that! Time I'll spend with your dog As much time as you want!
