Pet care experience

I'll love your pup(s) like my own.

I have been a huge dog lover since an early age. I have had a lot of experience throughout the years from growing up with dogs, raising puppies, watching our neighbors' dogs, working at a dog kennel, and being a dog mom. Back in May 2023, my pup Bojangles suddenly passed away at the age of 13.5. My house hasn't been the same without him. So, I decided to try Rover to get my "dog fix" while I heal from his loss.

This was our first time using Rover and it did not disappoint. Kristen was exceptional. She took excellent care of our 3.5 year old dog, Daisy. Kristen was communicative, friendly, caring, and took care of our sweet Daisy. Kristen flexible with our drop off time as I had something come up and caused a slight delay. Kristen took Daisy for walks, gave lots of belly rubs, and cared for her as well as we do. Kristen made this experience wonderful and I am grateful for her. She’ll be our go-to for all future trips. Great, great experience. I can’t say enough good things about our interactions and communication.

As always, wonderful service! I've used Kristen at least 4 times! She has a beautiful, large fenced-in yard perfect for your fur baby to get lots of exercise! She is very quick to respond and reply to messages... and you'll get frequent updates with photos! Definitely give Kristen a try... you and your fur baby will not be sorry!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kristen was awesome with Churro! She took great care of her while we away for 6 nights and Churro loved every second of it between playing in the backyard and being snuggled. We got regular pupdates with pictures and videos, which made us worry even less! We’ve definitely added Kristen to our list of sitters should we need one again in the future 😊

Kristen (as always) took amazing care of my dog. She texted me updates, let me know of any issues, and most importantly gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands. I’m so thankful to have found her as our go-to dog sitter!

Kristen was an excellent care taker for my dog Ann. She would send pictures and videos of her everyday. Kristen would respond to my texts immediately with status updates. I would highly recommend her for their puppy care and will definitely use her again.

Schedule

I do have a day job that provides me with a hybrid work schedule* (Monday-Friday). Typically, I stay home all day when working from my home office which is two, work-from-home days out of the week. I will be able to take frequent potty/playtime breaks throughout the day (as needed) to ensure your pup is getting as much time as they need outside. I am flexible with eating schedules, playtime, and snuggle time--per puppy's demands (wink!). *Please Note: Below is a snapshot of my schedule which is always subject to change with work/life demands. If you have any questions, we can always discuss further at a meet and greet, or at the time of a booking request. Monday & Tuesday: Office Days Wednesday & Thursday: Work from Home* Friday: Office Day Saturday & Sunday: No Work *I am very flexible based on the demands of the dog. 🐶

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard where your pup(s) can run around, play, or just relax in the sun. Feel free to bring any special toys he/she prefers to play with. I will be able to take your pup on walks throughout the subdivision (weather permitting). Note: Please let me know if you prefer/not prefer your dog(s) on walks in the neighborhood.

A typical day

I love to play fetch, go for walks around the subdivision, or at any of the local parks (if desired). If their personality is a bit more laid back--movie and snuggle time is always a plus.
