Let Me Love Your Babies!!!

I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 6 years old. While I love them all, dogs are my favorite to be around. I've even got a Shih Tzu of my own. Of note, I prefer dogs 30lbs and under.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 18, 2026

Kristen took care of my pup while I was away on a day-long trip. She was wonderful in taking care of my dog, attending to his needs, keeping him cool with this crazy hot weather while I was away!

The updates we received during my dog’s stay did not match the report we received at pickup. We are thankful for Kristin’s services, but it was ultimately not a good match for our situation.

This was my first experience with Rover sitter services and Kristen made everything feel so safe and comfortable. I could tell that she took such good care of my dog, Bear, is extremely knowledgeable about dog care and passionate about animals, especially pups! Looking forward to booking with her again in the future.

Kristen knows dogs and it shows. She has watched our dog Molly twice and Molly has returned home happy and well exercised.

Kristen cared for our rescue shih tzu for 6 days / 5 nights. It was his first time boarding and he has some quirks, but she clearly took great care of him and he came back home healthy and content! She even gave us some care advice!

Safety, trust & environment

My townhouse has a small fenced courtyard, and dog door. I also walk my dog once a day, to make sure he get their daily quota of sniffs. Please make sure you provide detailed instructions, especially if your babies need specific care for medical or other reasons. If your dog is spending the night, and is crated trained, please bring a crate. I do expect you to bring their bed, if they aren't crate trained. I don't have room on my bed for everyone.

Pets

A typical day

Potty first thing in the am, then breakfast & potty. Play time around lunch. Lots of toy tossing, etc. If it is a nice day, we sometimes go to the dog park. Otherwise, a walk around the neighborhood is the standard stroll. Potty in a couple of hours. Dinner around 5pm, playtime in the evening, and potty before bedtime.

I expect your dog(s) to be fully vaccinated. My dog, Ned is a vegetarian. Please don't bring meaty bones, etc. Also, please don't bring squeaky stuffies. Ned has an PhD in Squeakerectomies.
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.
