Reliable and experienced dog sitter
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
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.
Piper LOVES Kristen. Kristen is the best. Great at communication and Piper always comes home happy & exhausted from all the play time!
Great as usual. She is a loving person who will take care of your pet as her own.

Information Kristen M. would like to know about your pet
No breed restrictions. I would like to know if there are any medical concerns, any barking or anxiety triggers, or aggression on leash or with other dogs. Also, please let me know about any behavioral issues and if there are certain training techniques you would like me to reinforce during the stay.
A typical day
I find dog walking very relaxing and will take your pup(s) for tons of walks or runs. I live in a great neighborhood with walking trails and close to a park.
