Availability

I do pet sitting and dog walking full time! I absolutely love it. I have a couple of regulars who I see through out the week, but I do have some flexibility and would be happy to fit you and your fur baby in. My calendar in the summer and fall months can fill up quickly, but as long as I have enough of a heads up, I'm happy to make something work for you.

88% response rate
Usually responds in a few minutes
90% bookings with photo updates
Sends updates with Rover Cards

Skills

6 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Special needs dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I provide walking, drop ins (within 15-20 miles of lake Stevens), and in home pet sitting! I do not currently offer boarding at this time. I keep your fur baby company and make sure they don't get into too much trouble and keep you updated daily. I like to get as much info as possible about their daily routine to try to keep it consistent while you are away to lessen any anxiety and I try to come up with a very basic safety plan (vet numbers, who to call in emergencies, etc.) Just as a back up.

Information Kristen D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup has any sort of special needs, behavior issues, or training that you're working on! If so, what is the best way to respond. I like to be as prepared as possible so that I can set us both up for success.

A typical day

Let me know what your fur babies normal schedule is like! I know being away from their parents can be anxiety inducing, so keeping some sort of routine can help ease that for them. I'm happy to take them on little adventures around the neighborhood as well and play lots of games!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Kristen and I've been loving and caring for animals ever since I was a little and have been pet sitting as a job for a few years now! I have a background with dogs, cats, horses, and live stock. I have a deep love for animals big and small and I'd be more than happy to watch over your little angel (or angels). Im located in Snohomish county but I've worked in both king and Skagit as well so I can do my best to travel if needed. You'll get regular updates and pictures of your baby to help put your mind at ease, I also provide medication administration if needed. If you need someone both with prior experience and will treat your pet like family, then I'm your gal! If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a message! I hope you and your pet have a great day

Kristen did a great job taking care of our dog for 5 days. We got regular updates and check-ins which gave us peace of mind. She left our house cleaner than when she arrived which I also appreciated. I cannot say enough good things about Kristen and her care for our dog and house.

Kristen was amazing at communicating, watered my veggies, and I think the house was cleaner than before she arrived. Definitely having her watch our girl again!

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.
