I’m a full time teacher, so while weekdays do work, it would need to be around that sort of schedule during the school year. I can provide short term care on weekdays and more intensive care on weekends. During summer months I am wide open to provide care as needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m an avid runner and LOVE to be outside so I’m happy to provide short or long walks for your animal. During summer months, my availability is based largely on your needs.

Information Kristen G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about medications, special dietary routines, and any behavioral concerns you may have. I also need to know about dog reactivity beforehand so I can prepare our walks appropriately.

A typical day

I love the outdoors and love to spend time with dogs in that setting. Cats will either want the snuggles that I feel give or want their space, either way I’m still largely a cat person too!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and then when I was able to I had two large breeds of my own for many years. Currently, we have a 2-yr old Bernese mountain dog and an older cat at home. I’m a teacher with a very open availability during summer and would love to fill it with taking care of your dogs - any breed but happy to provide confidence for high energy larger breeds.

Kristen has been walking my 85 year old mother's labradoodle on a weekly basis. She is punctual and kind to my mother.

Kristen was responsive, kind, and really out our mind at ease caring for our two dogs. We needed someone to stay with them for a long day out and about. They were well cared for and we totally trusted Kristen to handle anything that came up.

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.
