Pet care experience

Making pets less stressed!

I feel animals are such a beautiful part of our lives and they need just as much love and compassion as a human. I have experience with a wide range of pets. I know how to approach and handle fearful pets to make them more comfortable and trusting. I know how to leash train and do general training. I know what to do in the event a pet eats something they should have not, as well as how to administer IV's to dogs. I also know the sneakiest of ways to get them to take their medication (cats too). When I pet sit for you it is truly a treat for me. I love spending time with any pet and making them feel as comfortable as possible. I know that it is both stressful for the pet and the owner to be apart and I want to ease that stress as much as possible. When I visit or walk your pet you can expect: lots of love (if they are comfortable with it), play time, brushing if needed and lots of pictures!

Safety, trust & environment

If I need to enter your home to care for your pet you can expect me to treat it with the highest respect. I will communicate with you when I arrive and leave. I make sure that every entrance and exit is closed once I have left to make sure your pet and home are safe.

Dog Walking • Jul 18, 2023

Kristen was amazing !!! She provided the peace of mind I needed to be able to go out of town and leave dog home with my husband. She is very sweet and my dog loved her. I enjoyed reading her reports after the walk. Recommend her highly!

Kristen is so amazingly patient and kind. I was so worried about leaving our fearful dog with someone she was unfamiliar with for the first time. Kristen did such a wonderful job calming Zoey and me! She was also very responsive and flexible. I would recommend her highly.

Kristen is amazing. It’s wonderful to have her stop in and play with my dogs while I am at work. She goes above and beyond to make the babies happy.

Kristen was wonderful with our little guy. He got into a bag of medicine in one of the upstairs closets and she handled it like a true professional. She was loving and so sweet with him. Highly recommend Kristen!

Kristen did a great job with our cats! She is responsive and easy to work with. It gave us such peace of mind to have someone we could trust take care of our girls. We definitely plan on using her again!

Schedule

I work from home as an online STEM tutor and like to pet sit during the off peak months (mostly summer). Although, I do have the availability to pet sit during the school year I just am not able to take on as many clients.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Kristen can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I think knowing a dogs personality is very important. I would like to know what they do and don't like, what makes them happy and what makes them uncomfortable (i.e. kids, other dogs). The places they love to be pet, their favorite toys and activities. Also, any medication, special dietary restrictions and so on.
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.
