Pet care experience

Kind, Trusted, Insured.

I love all types of animals! I have a degree in Veterinary Technology and have worked in veterinary offices (regular as well as emergency), a wildlife center, and a pet shop (Pet Emporium on Woodbury Ave). While I now work from home for a software company, my love of pets remains.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I carry my own professional pet-sitting insurance, which covers both your pet and your home while they're in my care. I understand everyone has their own way of doing things when it comes to their pets. Just let me know the preferences and routine, and we can keep things as regular as possible while you are not able to be there. Please note: My Constant Care rate is $250 per day. Care is considered “Constant Care” if the pet(s) cannot be left alone for up to 4 hours at a time.

Kristen was a great sitter for our cat Kelly while we were away! She was efficient with communication, professional and kept us updated throughout. We really appreciated her care.

Kristen was great. This was my first time using a Rover sitter and I was a little nervous- but she took great care of my cats and kept me updated on them each day. They were so well cared-for that it seemed like they barely even missed me!

My elderly mom needed help with dog walking on short notice and Kirsten was a great pinch hitter!

Let me know if your pets have any special requirements, and I'll be sure to meet them. We both want your pet to be as comfortable as possible despite your absence.
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.
