Safety, trust & environment

Trust, safety, and dependability are my top priorities. You can count on me to care for your pets with the utmost reliability, ensuring their safety and well-being come first. I’m dedicated to earning your trust through consistent, attentive care, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in capable hands. This also extends to your home!

Information Kristen K. would like to know about your pet

I’m well-prepared to manage most behaviors that occur with cats. I will keep you updated if I notice changes in stool habits, any hot spots, etc. Open communication helps me tailor my approach to fit your pet’s needs, so don’t hesitate to share any concerns you may have also—I’m here to provide a smooth and worry-free experience for both you and your furry friend. Please inform me on the frequency in which you would like updates on your pet. I have a tendency to send many pictures/videos as I know many miss their animals greatly when away. I also want to be respectful of your time while away and I do not want to bombard you either.

A typical day

I am there to give endless love and make it seem like vacations or family time away from the house is not a bad thing! That includes snuggles and play time! And if their diet allows for it some “vacation kibble/treats!” I know I always like a fun treat on vacation!

I’ve used Kristen before and will definitely use her again. She took great care of Sparks, making sure he was fed, had fresh water, and that everything was cleaned up after each visit. She sent photo updates so I knew he was doing well, and she followed the specific instructions about how Sparks moves around the house. She also handled small details like opening and closing windows as needed, which I really appreciated. Reliable, thoughtful, and easy to trust.

Kristen was truly a life saver for a last minute booking with my very difficult cat. She provided the best care possible and her thorough check ins helped set me at ease. Friendly, kind, & reassuring. Exactly what you would want in a pet sitter!

Kristen is beyond wonderful. She not only feeds and medicates kitties, but she goes out of her way to play and spend time with them. Kristen cleans and vacuums as well. She sends daily pictures, videos and updates. My husband and I feel completely at ease leaving our fur babies in her care. We have hired her numerous times and will continue to do so.

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.
