Pet care experience
I am a very experienced petsitter recently moved to NYC from living and working in Dallas, TX for about 10 years! I've worked in the service industry for about 6 years and am currently working toward my PHD. I've been dog-sitting professionally since 2014. I joined Rover in 2014/15, then worked with a professional pet sitting company in Dallas - Prestigious Pets - for about 2.5 years before moving up to NYC to start my second graduate degree at NYU. I'm very comfortable with dogs (and cats!) of all shapes and sizes as well as sitting multiple dogs at a time! I am also comfortable and experienced in handling special medications. I am a runner, so long walks or runs- unless otherwise specified - are often in my game plan when dog sitting. However, we could also just sit and cuddle on the couch! Would love to get the chance to work for you and meet your pup!
Reviews
We have booked Kristen twice and she is great with our very energetic cat. She sends updates regularly and is very communicative! Our cat honestly did not seem to care when we got back, he’d had too much fun with Kristen.
Kristen took amazing care of our cat! He looked so happy in all the pictures she sent that we started to worry he wouldn’t want us to come home. Kristen communicated very well with us the whole time and left our house very clean. We absolutely recommend her and would book again!
Kristen was fantastic - our cat had daily play sessions, clean wet and dry food, and litter box service. Couldn’t ask for me and I know our cat was happy 🐈
Kristen was amazing! Our 11 year old cat loved her instantly and she stayed at our place for a week while we were away. He takes 5 pills a day for a heart condition and it’s a process to administer them (wrap them in treats and give to him), he can be very picky and uncooperative. She was super patient and successfully gave him his meds. We felt a lot more comfortable on our trip knowing she was taking care of him and she sent videos and photos with updates. She left the house clean and was a wonderful houseguest. 10/10 would recommend ☺️

A typical day
I like to establish the owner's usual routine with the dog right off the bat. Obviously feeding, walking and medication schedules are important but I like to include downtime. I'm more than a someone who pops in and out just to walk and feed; I like to spend time with the dogs I am sitting to make them feel more comfortable.
