Pet care experience

Providing pet care & peace of mind

Pets (and their people!) can sense my reliability, warmth, and attention to detail right away. I think it's because I'm a natural "pet magnet" - peaceful & present with animals of all kinds. I never cut corners when it comes to pet care or comfort. Whether it's extra snuggles, sticking to a precise routine, or noticing small changes in behavior, I bring a watchful eye and a caring heart to every visit. At home, I have hands-on experience with a variety of dogs. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, from toy breeds to large companions. I’ve also cared for cats, fish, and birds for years, so you can call on me for a wide range of companion animal needs. The safety, happiness, and well-being of your pets are my top priorities. I am ever-mindful of how much they mean to you, and that informs the care I provide.

The entire experience with Kristen went wonderful from beginning to end! She is a top-notch professional and the most loving and caring sitter for my dogs, Daisy and Banjo, who really bonded with her! She sent loads of updates, photos, and gave them lost of love and kisses. My dogs and home were taken care of in the best way and I am ever so grateful to her for being there for me and the pups!

Kristen was great with our dog and cat. I almost don’t want to leave a review so I can have here all for us!

We would highly recommend Kristen for in home pet sitting. Kristen quickly responded to our emails and took great care of our dog Bella while we were away. We enjoyed receiving the numerous updates throughout the day with photos. We will definitely be booking with Kristen for our next trip.

From our initial meet and greet it’s apparent that Kristen adores dogs of all kinds. Lily was swooned by her warm loving presence and I felt assured she’d be well taken care of. She’s patient, caring and goes above and beyond to care for Lily. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced dog handler and sitter. Thank you so very much Kristen.

Kristen was the best dog sitter we’ve had! She went above and beyond to care for our sweet boy and watch over our house too. We were able to enjoy our time away and know that he was well cared for. We greatly appreciated it. Will definitely book again!

Pet needs vary. It helps to know their potty schedule, sleeping schedule and arrangements (do they sleep in a crate, on a dog bed, in your bed?), their feeding schedule, any allergies, commands they're familiar with, any triggers you're aware of, what gear you use to walk them, your vet information in case of emergency, med schedule and dosing if applicable.
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.
