I am petsitting on Rover while attending medical school at UVA. I have class 8-12 M-F, but my classes are often recorded and are only sometimes required. I do have required class 1-5pm on Thursdays, so if you need petsitting on Thursdays please keep that in mind. I would love to hang out with your pets and do some studying during down time :)

Safety, trust & environment

I will not be taking your pets to my home, but I am happy to take care of them in their own! My biggest priority is keeping your animals safe and comfortable, which I feel is best accomplished in the place they call home.

Information Kristen N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or medications that they take. Additionally, anything that is unique or atypical about your pet is great information for me to know.

A typical day

For dogs, I love to play with them and take them on walks to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. I equally enjoy chill time watching TV if that’s what they prefer :) For cats, I especially love cuddling up on the couch if that’s what they enjoy, as that is my cat’s favorite activity. I also love to play if they are more high energy.

Pet care experience

I have had pets in my house my whole life - dogs, cats, chickens, horses, etc. I am very comfortable with all animals and I LOVE spending time with them. My family and friends have trusted me to take care of their animals, and I am always up for the task!

Kristen stopped in through the weekend to watch our senior special needs boy while we were away and was excellent with him! She kept us updated with pictures and status updates which was very much appreciated, especially with a boy who has some quirks. Kristen was very easy to communicate with and flexible with travel plan changes. Highly recommend her for pet sitting needs and will plan to have Kristen help us out with our pup again. Thanks Kristen!

Kristen did a fantastic job checking in on our 2 cats while we were away! It was our first time hiring a sitter and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Kristen is the BEST! She was so communicative and went the extra mile to love on our kitties. She even got the shyest one to come out and play! Kristen is such a great sitter and we can’t wait to book her again.

Kristen is the sweetest! Our pups had a lovely time with her, and we're so thankful for her help! Cannot recommend her services more. We have 2 dogs who are relatively high-energy, and she cared for them very well.

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.
