Kristen generously came over to get to know Quinn before he stayed with her. She's slow to warm up and even for the first days they were together, she was reluctant to go out. With time and his patience, she gained confidence and everything fell into place. Kristen responded to my queries and was easy going. I will definitely reach out again.

Kristen was great! My dog can be reactive and he handled him well and left our apartment in perfect shape.

Schedule

I usually have open availability. I do CDPAP for my mother at home, so my schedule is pretty open. I still give all the pets I care for 110% of my attention.

Safety, trust & environment

Both in the client's home and mine, I will respect all rules and guidelines provided by the owner and make sure that the dog feels safe, comfortable and welcomed around me.

A typical day

I feel that living close to Prospect Park is definitely key to fun activities for the dogs it's a nice size park with a decent doggy area with a pond and lots of grass for dogs to run around and play and meet other dogs.

I feel the obvious should already be included like how many walks are needed how much food to give and what is a usual sleep schedule. Also allergies and temperaments is a good thing to know in advanced as well.
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.
