*To my house sitting clientele, I’m so sorry but I’m currently not offering house sitting at this time. My dog at home is battling cancer and I need to be there for him. I am still doing drop-ins and walks though!* Hi! I'm Kristen :) I'm a military spouse, dog mom, and animal lover/caretaker extraordinaire! Rover is my full time job and I absolutely LOVE it! I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was a little girl and lived on a farm. I'm even more experienced now since adopting and taking care of the two dogs we have at home. We have two high-energy/active German Shepherds who are rescues and are our babies. I have taught them everything they know. They know to sit, lay down, stay, up, down, high-five, spin, fetch, go through legs, etc. I have taught them a lot! I started out by watching many dogs in our neighborhood and ended up loving it so much that I wanted to make this a full-time gig to meet new doggos & cats and take care of them! This is what brought me to the Rover app and into the world of watching, caring for, and loving on more & more animals! I'd love to meet yours! In addition to all of that, I do rescue stray dogs in or near our neighborhood when I can. I have even stopped traffic both ways to save a dog from getting hit and returned it to its owner. I've picked up animals in our neighborhood and have found their owners. I was also one of the admins of our Lost and Found Neighborhood Pet group on Facebook before we moved from OKC, OK. I have also volunteered my time at the Yukon Animal Shelter in OKC taking photos of adoptable dogs and cats, and network dogs on euthanasia at shelters to try to save them. I love animals and would do anything for them! I also send updates or what I call "pup-dates" with info from my visit with pictures and/or videos! I like to keep you in the know and for you to see your babies while you are away!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Going on a vacay? So will your pets when they are with me 😊 I do keep them entertained with walks, toys, playing in your backyard, and lots of pets/belly rubs or as I call it "lovings". Please let me know what your pet likes to do on a daily basis and we will do just that! If it is okay with you, your dogs or cats can sleep with me if I'm staying over! I love fur-baby cuddles!

Kristen is wonderful! We’ve hired her twice now and won’t hesitate to again in the future. She communicates really well and sends lots of photos! I know our animals are in great care.

Dog Walking • okt. 27, 2025

We love Kristen! Our puppy, Sachi, gets so excited to spend time with Kristen while we are at work. Kristen is a top tier dog walker and set our standards high going forward. She always sends us great updates and pictures so it feels like we were there. We will be moving in the near future and I doubt anyone will come close to her level of service. She truly put our minds at ease while we were away, knowing our dog was receiving the best care.

Kristen is always so great with our babies! She is very attentive and takes care of them as her own. We will always fully trust to have our kitties be in great care when she visits! Kristen will be our go-to from here on out. She’s amazing! Thank you again.

Kristen was great!! She took care of our cats and gave them lots of love while we were away. She’s very easy to work with and was very responsive with all communication. I would definitely book her again for future care!

She was able to drop-in in and visit my kitty while I was gone. My kitty loved having a new friend to great and play with everyday.

Information that is important for me to know ahead of time is if your animal is special needs, sick, or recovering from an injury. I also like to get information on how much you feed and how often per day. Is your pup/cat taking any medicine I need to administer? How do they act on walks or how are they on a leash? If I'm house-sitting for you - the more instructions, the better! I prefer detailed instructions so, please don't worry about leaving a long note for me!
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.
