Pet care experience

Reliable and experienced dog sitter

Hello, I'm Kristen and I would love to spoil your dog(s) while you are away! I started Rover dog-sitting after losing my dog of 12 years and it was the best decision. I've watched dogs of all sizes and personalities and enjoy learning what makes them unique. I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I get to meet many dogs and learn more about dog behavior. I will treat your dogs like my own and make sure they get plenty of exercise to work off any anxiety from missing you. I'm happy to take care of puppies (if they are potty-trained) and senior dogs (if they are ok with stairs) and provide the extra attention they need. I live in a three-story townhome with a small carpeted basement off the garage, hardwood floor on main level, and carpet in the upstairs bedrooms. I have a small non-fenced yard in the back with a deck (4 stairs to ground). I've attached pictures of all the stairs for anyone with senior dogs. Dogs are free to couch-surf and allowed on the bed here. But I can reinforce whatever the rules are in their home.

Kiristen is awesome.wr have two dogs. One of them is not good with strangers and it was a while since they saw Kristen. Kristen works patiently with our girl Cookie as she needs some time to get used to people and allow people to touch her. We trust Kristen to take care of our fur babies.

Great experience! No issues. Very easy to work with, and I could tell from all the pics that my dogs were happy and cared for.

We couldn’t have been happier with Kristen as our dog, Bailey’s, sitter but more importantly Bailey couldn’t have been happier. Kristen was so attentive and sent us daily updates and pictures. I would recommend her to anyone and we’ll be using her services again!!

Kristen was fantastic! She took great care of my two furry friends while I was gone for a weekend. She regularly sent me updates with pictures and responded when I asked any questions. Thank you so much!
