Information Kristen F. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know if your dog is good with other dogs, can be left alone for short times and if they have any naughty habits. As much information you can send my way is appreciated. Any special needs, things to watch out for, routines and behaviors, general disposition etc.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs for long walks around my neighborhood and to Knott Park which is located close by. Additionally, we often make stops at the dog parks at Luuwit View Park as well as Normandale. Weather permitting, I will take dogs on small hikes in the Gorge or near Mt. Hood. If your dog is well-behaved, I am happy to bring them to the dog park areas to play fetch and interact with other dogs. If not, happy to take them on solo walks around the neighborhood. Whatever works best for your pup!

Pet care experience

My partner and I absolutely love dogs and provide a fun, stimulating and cozy environment in our home. I enjoy taking dogs on mini-adventures whether it's long walks and hikes or playing at the dog park (if your dog likes that sort of thing)

Kristen and Casey were the best hosts for my dog. Kristen sent pics at least twice a day and was very responsive. I love that I have another fun baby sitter for Pepper when I’m not home!

We're always anxious when we leave Cal while traveling, but Kristen did a fantastic job sending updates and photos that were reassuring and showed Cal was clearly being well taken care of. We'll be planning more trips, and we're hoping Kristen will be free!

Wonderful sitter our dog was so happy. They have a great yard that’s fenced for your pup to play in. Definitely will use them again. They are conveniently only a couple minutes off the freeway.

Kristen has been fantastic with Callebaut and has been flexible and communicative with updates and photos, which has been great. We already have another stay booked and are glad Cal is in good hands while we're away!

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.
