I have a flexible work schedule and am able to fit pet care easily into my day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and some overnights (around my kids schedules), and make sure pets are cared for on a consistent schedule. I’m reliable and always plan ahead so your pet gets the attention and routine they’re used to.

Safety, trust & environment

I always follow the owner's instructions closely, make sure collars/leashes are secure, and pay attention to any specific needs or behaviors. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. On walks I always pay attention to my surroundings to keep your dog safe. I'm not there to pay attention to your beloved dog, not get distractes by my phone or anything else.

Information Kristen M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know anything that helps me take the best care of your pets, things like their routine, energy level, feeding schedule, and any quirks or behaviors. I’m happy to work with puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need medication or a little extra attention. The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. :)

A typical day

A typical day really depends on your dog’s personality and routine! I love getting them outside for walks, letting them explore and sniff (the best part for them!), and making sure they get some playtime and attention. I’m also big on keeping things calm and comfortable, whether that’s extra petting & cuddles or just keeping them company so they feel safe and happy.

Reliable, loving care for your pets

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around animals. I’ve also worked as a dog and cat sitter, helping with walks, feeding, drop-ins, and overnights. I’m very reliable and pay attention to the little details so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, can help with basic puppy training, and am comfortable giving medications if needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make it a fun, positive experience, whether that’s a good walk, playtime, or just extra cuddles.

We are so happy with Kristen as a sitter for our 2 pups! She is experienced, attentive, and professional. Our dogs and house were in perfect form when we got home, and our dogs were not stressed at all. We look forward to using her regularly and having peace of mind when we go away.

I cannot express how grateful I am to have Kristen to care for my furbabies when I am away. It is so comforting to know that there is someone I can trust to care for their needs but also be compassionate and warm. My dogs love Kristen! And she sends me pictures and updates which I love. I always know that my dogs are in good hands when I leave them with Kristen.

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.
