Pet care experience

Teacher mom and pet mom!

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.

Our dogs are a handful and Kristen was amazing! They warmed up to her super fast. Her communication was great. We already have a second booking planned with her. Definitely recommend!

Kristen was the absolute best! She watched our dog and three cats and took perfect care of our home while my husband and I were on a trip. Would book again in a heartbeat.

Kristen was such a wonderful sitter to our young and high energy lab. This was our first time having a pet sitter stay in our home and Kristen put us at ease with her great communication, responsiveness and thoughtful care for Gibson. You can tell she is experienced with dogs and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks, Kristen!

Kristen is wonderful. Came here from out of town to visit family and was unable to take my 6 month old Great Dane with me all the time. Kristen came to my hotel and played with him, as well as took him for a walk. Made my stay 100 times more enjoyable. Would recommend her to everyone!

Kristen was so great! She left fabulous notes about her visits and my cats seemed very content and well cared for. She drove very far to take care of my kitties and so couldn’t be more grateful

Kristen was the best caretaker for our dogs that we’ve had to date. Would recommend. Gave us detailed updates and made us feel comfortable leaving our dogs for a week.

I’m a full-time teacher, so if you’re booking during the summer my availability is pretty widely open to meet your pets needs. If it’s during the school year, the weekends are there for loving your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I love to walk and exercise and am happy to take your dog for long walks as needed. Alternatively if they’re at my house, they can play with our Bernese Mountain Dog in the backyard for endless hours! Our yard is fenced in and the gates are always locked.

Pets

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!

Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
Kristen can host up to 2 pets per night
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. Any boarding situation needs to do a meet and greet with my Bernese Mountain Dog and must be friendly with children. Boarding is not appropriate for dogs with unknown experience around children. Excited and hyper is completely understandable! Daycare situations are dependent on the length of stay being requested. Longer than 5 hours requires a meet and greet beforehand. Dogs that do not like cats are fine as ours can stay in the basement, however that does need to be communicated.
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.
