Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I create a safe, welcoming space where your pets will feel like part of the family. They’ll have plenty of room to roam, play, and relax. I provide regular walks, engaging playtime, and cozy spots for napping. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, ensuring your furry friends feel at ease while they’re with me. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine to minimize stress while you’re away. I follow your instructions carefully, ensuring consistency in feeding schedules, exercise, and favorite activities. I also treat your home with respect, leaving it as clean and tidy as I found it. Whether in my home or yours, I bring patience, love, and attention to every interaction to ensure your pets feel cared for and happy.

Kristen always takes great care of our fur baby Sasha and takes some really awesome pictures as well! She’s very communicative and leaves thorough report cards after every visit

Kristen was great with our dog Sasha! She took the time to meet her with us before we went on vacation and she made an instant connection with Sasha. She has great communication and takes great photos for the Rover Card. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

Schedule

As someone with a passion for animals and a flexible daily schedule, I make pet care a top priority. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I structure my day to ensure every pet gets the attention, care, and love they need. Since I work from home and have control over my schedule, I’m able to provide personalized, on-time care tailored to your pet’s routine. I can easily accommodate feeding times, exercise needs, and one-on-one interaction to keep your furry friend happy and comfortable throughout the day. Your pet’s well-being is my focus, and I’m committed to making sure they feel loved and cared for at all times.

Before sitting your pet, it’s really helpful to know: • Personality & Temperament: Are they shy, friendly, anxious, or playful? How do they react to new people or other animals? • Health & Medical Needs: Any medications, allergies, or recent vet visits we should know about. • Diet & Feeding Routine: How much and how often they eat, favorite treats, and any dietary restrictions. • Exercise & Play Preferences: How active they are, favorite toys, and any games or walks they enjoy. • Behavioral Details: Any fears, triggers, or habits (like chewing or digging) to keep them safe and comfortable. • House Rules: Areas of the home they can access, furniture rules, or routines they’re used to. Knowing these details ahead of time helps me give each pet a safe, fun, and stress-free experience! 🐾
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.
