Safety, trust & environment

Every pet is different, and so I love getting to know how each likes to play and interact with their humans. I’m happy to go on long walks or play some fetch, or just lounge and get some cuddles in on the couch.

Information Kristen F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any requests you have for care, or if your pet has any special needs. I can almost always accommodate reasonable requests

A typical day

I’m pretty active, so if your pets are up for it, a long walk on the trails is calling our names! Though I also love a cozy night in with a cat snuggled in my lap

crazy cat lady in the making

Pet care experience

Your pets will love me almost as much as I love them! I've watched pets professionally on-and-off for about 3 years now, and I love it!! Caring for others’ pets is fun for me, particularly because I’m not allowed to have pets at my current apartment. Because of this, I am not able to offer boarding services. But I am here for all your drop in, walking, and house sitting needs :) I'm pretty flexible with all my terms, just looking to make some money looking after your fur babies!

Kristen was great with my shy senior dog! She was very communicative, and I think my pup was sad to see her leave. I will definitely be requesting Kristen for dog sitting again!

Kristen did a fantastic job taking care of our cat family. We have a new cat who is still learning how to fit into the rest of our house, so it can be quite the circus sometimes. We also have a cat that requires both oral and inhaled medication as well as a cat who doesn't like to eat while we are away. Kristen handled all of the cat issues very well and sent communication and photos every day. We definitely plan to hire her again.

Kristin rocked it!! Answered my emergency post within 5 minutes of me posting at the last second. She came for a pre-visit the next day and tookgreat care of my fur baby while I was away for the weekend. Flicka was calm and happy with her the entire time. Pictures, updates, and very outgoing and respectful of me, my dog, and my space. 100% 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.
