looking for pet friends!
Pet care experience
I'm a recent college grad really missing the company of beloved pet friends - I am so excited for opportunities to make some new ones in Nashville! I offered services on Rover a couple summers ago, and I had a great time caring for some dogs. Some ways I cared for the pets while they stayed with me for the day included going for walks, administering oral medication, playing, and snuggling! I've always had pets in my life. My family has always had multiple cats at a time, so I'm familiar with their needs and how to approach them based on their personalities. Additionally, because several of my friends have dogs, I've had many opportunities to spend time with all kinds of dogs and care for them occasionally. These experiences, in addition to my past experiences here on Rover, have prepared me to care for more dogs and cats. I look forward to meeting your pet!
Reviews
Kristen was great!! She is super caring and took really great care of my dog Birdie. She kept me well updated with photos and followed all the instructions I provided. She was very flexible with her time and I definitely recommend Kristen. I will be using her again!

Before a drop-in visit, we can discuss your pet's specific needs and anything about the home or the pet that will be useful to know during the visit. I am happy to send updates and photos during the visit/before and after the walk!
Information Kristen M. would like to know about your pet
I like to know a bit about the pet's personality prior to a visit or walk. Any information about their behavior that's relevant to care offered during the visit or to the walk helps me prepare to interact with the pet in a way that is most comfortable for them. Additionally, it is important I am aware of any specific kind of care that should be provided during a visit or walk. I want to make sure pets needs are 100% met during the service!
A typical day
Standard forms of care I provide during drop-in visits include feeding, providing fresh water, checking for any messes in the area the pet stays and cleaning if needed, taking dogs outside for a potty break or cleaning cat litter. I am happy to play with pets with their favorite toys to help them let out their energy and socialize. I love giving pets attention and affection, so they can look forward to lots of pets and cuddles if that's what they like! Regarding walks, I communicate with owners about what routes are normally taken, how long of a walk is standard, what are signs that the dog needs a break, etc. This information helps me ensure the walk is a positive experience for the pup and that I can be attentive to the dog's needs throughout the walk. I make sure the dog has fresh water upon returning to the home.

I am offering drop-in visits to supplement my income. My schedule varies regularly, but it leaves me ample time to make a couple visits per day.
