Pet care experience

I love your furr baby already!

**Please ask about discount for first time pet sits** I’ve had years of experience pet and house sitting. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and have cared for a variety of them, including dogs, cats, chickens, tiny humans and the occasional goldfish. The pied piper of dog/cat sitting. I'm in-tune with your furry baby’s needs, responsible and detail-oriented, also warm and fun. Empathetic and accommodating for any requirements your pet might have--from administering medication to following special diets, to ensuring they get quality time with their favorite toys. While with me your pet can enjoy the great outdoors—I love taking walks and hiking to local parks—great excuse to get my own steps in. Your pet will have fun and feel at ease in my care. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Kristen was a wonderful sitter for our 10 pound Yorkipoo. She was extremely accommodating and even worked with our unique living situation of currently being in a camper while we build. We were so pleased with how she sent us daily updates and pictures of our fur baby. This made us feel much more at ease. This was the first time we’ve ever left our dog with someone other than family and for such a long time period. We were both a little nervous, but Kristen was fantastic. She even came out to meet us several months before our travels to make sure it was going to be a good fit for her and us. Kristen was very professional and asked good questions. We are so thankful it all worked out and our fur baby got the one-on-one attention she’s used to getting, since I work from home. We will definitely ask Kristen to house/dog sit for us again! Highly recommend!!!

Feel so relieved to find kristen as I am new to the area and finding reliable, reputable and loving care for my dog and home was critical. Kristen is a great person, kept in contact and loved on my dog staying with her overnight which gave me such piece of mind. I would highly recommend her services.

Mu husband and I had considered canceling our trip for worry over leaving our dogs. After meeting Kristen before we left, we felt reassured she would take extra care of our two elderly dogs (14 year old boxer and 11 year old yorkie poo.) Kristen sent pictures and updates while my husband and I were away for a week. We were actually able to relax and enjoy our vacation because of Kristen. Kristen did a wonderful job with our two babies! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Kristen was an amazing sitter for our large dogs, 3 cats and numerous Koi. Kristen sent us daily pictures and the "kids" seemed very relaxed and happy. The house was just as we left it and the linens were clean. Kristen was so nice and wanted to do the best job possible!!!

So glad we found Kristen G! It was the first time we’ve left our beagle rescue overnight and we were anxious about how she might handle us being gone. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Kristen. She’s the best and sent us pictures daily to put us at ease. Lucky loved her and all the attention she received. I’m not sure she missed us at all! We’ll definitely be calling on Kristen again! ??

Knowing as much about your dog or cat will make for the best experience possible for your pet. With that in mind, please let me know: - Does your pet have any special needs such as diet or medication? - Does your dog generally get along with other dogs? - What are your pet's favorite activities? - Is your dog okay with strangers approaching and petting them? - Does your dog have any history of biting or nipping?
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.
