Safety, trust & environment

I’ll make sure to leave your home at least as good as or better than it was, and always go the extra mile to make sure your pets are as well taken care of as I’d want my own to be.

Information Kristen H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog or cats feeding and walk schedule as well as their favorite activity. I want to make sure your kiddo is comfortable and has a wonderful time when I’m with them!

A typical day

I have a 11 year old German Shepherd who loves making new friends and going on adventures with them. We’ll go on long walks, or jog around the neighborhood to burn off some steam. If your dog is with me on the weekends we'll go on hikes, to the dog park or swimming (if your dog likes to). I maintain a fairly active lifestyle, and my pup does as well. At the end of the day we'll all snuggle and wind down.

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm a mom to 8.5 year old German Shepherd and 10 year old mix. I had a Siberian Husky growing up and am all too familiar with the escape artist, separation anxiety and reactive dog types. I have over 20 years of dog and cat sitting experience and countless years as a dog momma. I love cats but with two dogs, it’s not quite in my cards to have one yet, so I get my cat fix by watching others here on Rover. I’m available for dog walking in the Rosslyn - Clarendon corridor, and for cat sitting as well. That said, should anything occur I also own car and can drive anywhere your pet needs - the vet, training, or exercise locations.

Kristen is always very punctual, detailed about the routines performed, and attentive to my cat kids. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!

Excellent communication and friendliness! Kristen followed instructions, kept up to date on my cats with lots of cute pictures, and provided lots of scatches and cuddles. She even arrived early to check on a possible health concern with one of them. Seems like they loved her, and I'll definitely continue using her for all my cat sitting needs!

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.
