Information Kristen H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I can account for or things I should know in general regarding food, walks, weather, etc

A typical day

I like to take the dogs on walks and spend some time playing with them. I know dogs have energy so I try to get it out of them so they are calmer later.

Pets

Attentive sitter

Pet care experience

I am a reliable, responsible and attentive sitter. I love animals so always make sure they ate and have play time. I understand every dog has different needs so am always sure to follow directions owners give me. I work from home so will be with the dog/cat I am watching for the majority of the day.

Kristen was an absolute amazing pet/housesitter. We are so happy we found her to watch our two pups. She is great with communicating, she is punctual, takes great care with our house, and is very kind and caring with the pups. We plan on contacting her to help with our girls again, and would highly recommend her to anyone

Kristen was attentative with our dog as he has separation anxiety which was handled very well took time with him and left the place in great shape. I would highly recommend her for anyone’s dog.

Kristen took good care of my Bowser and Bali. She was also very understanding when my flight was delayed and accommodated a late night pick-up. Thanks!!

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.
