Safety, trust & environment

I take the safety of your pets and the security of your home very seriously. I follow all instructions for medication, feeding and exercise as well as keeping doors and gates secure. I will monitor pets closely to ensure they are safe and comfortable. I also provide photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well-cared-for while you're away.

Information Kristen F. would like to know about your pet

I'll send a checklist of need-to-know questions prior to booking that will help me give the very best and safest care to your pet(s) and avoid any suprises. For example, does your pet have any medical condition or allegies? Or, are there any foods or treats they cannot have.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and engaged with a mix of fun activities - sniff walks, playtime, gentle brushing, and plenty of cuddles. I'm all about making sure your pet has a great time. Every fur baby gets a customized experience based on what makes their tail wag (or purr!) I'll keep you updated and include fun photos.

Kristen was AMAZING! I never leave my dog with anyone except his normal sitter (she was booked for my trip this time), but I chose Kristen and couldn’t have chosen anyone better. She also kept my house just how I left it, which is very important to me. She just may become my new normal sitter! :)

We are pet parents of a Bulldog , Frenchie,and one crazy cat and are very particular about who we have watch our animals. Kristen is Awesome!!! Our pets all love her and are so excited to see her every time she comes! She is totally dependable and we can relax and know she will handle everything when we leave our babies in her care. She’s totally worth every penny!

Kristen is the BEST dog sitter ever! Our Stella practically dances with excitement when she arrives! The photos, the updates, the care—everything is perfect every time. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We’re so grateful for her!

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.
