Pet care experience

Can I pet your dog?

I am a stay-at-home mom with a 1 social and friendly dog of my own and two dog-friendly cats. I am willing to work with many different personalities when it comes to our visiting pups. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to your dog’s specific needs and offer the attention they need to feel comfortable with me. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times, transportation to and from my home if needed, and I have plenty of extra supplies so that you can leave behind any non-essential items. I hope to provide your dog with the type of care that allows you to enjoy your time away without worrying about your pet. Rest assured that I will be upfront and honest if I am not able to meet your expectations, rather than neglect your dog and leave them scared and missing you! Dogs are welcome to play with other furry friends, but I also provide them privacy if they need a little space. I am able to separate dogs within my home and yard to keep them safe and comfortable. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and become fast friends so you can be confident in my services.

This was our 4th time using Kristen and I would give her 10 stars if I could. Our dogs love her big back yard that they can run around in, and our cat (a former cat and our current cat) love her sunroom. We were gone for 2 weeks, and I never once worried about my furry kids. She sends updates to let you know how they are doing, and also sends pictures. She treats your pets as if they were her own. Highly recommend.

Kristen is so sweet & has the best communication. This was maggies first time being left home & she put all of our worries at ease. The Rover app made it super simple as well. I loved the pictures & updated, it helped us relax while we were away. If maggie ever needs a babysitter again we will definitely go with Kristen again. I can't thank her enough. 10/10 from beginning to end.

Kristen was as good as advertised on Rover by the reviews. She did a great job with my kitten, Lil' Pete. My nephew usually takes care of my pets when I am out of town but he was taking the trip with me. I was a little hesitant of using a cat sitter but Lil' Pete is still a kitten and I felt uneasy leaving him at home even if I was going to be gone for just a couple of days. Kristen made me feel at ease and she sent me daily pictures. He was having a good time.

I do not work outside of my home. I have 3 children so I do leave the house for school and activity transportation. I am home with the dogs between drop-off and pick-ups for my kids.

Pets

A typical day

We take plenty of frequent potty breaks to make sure anxious dogs and unfamiliar dogs have a chance to relieve themselves and become comfortable in my home. I live in a safe neighborhood and love to walk the dogs when weather permits. My doggy play area is modeled after a dog park and we change the layout every month to keep it interesting and new to repeat clients. Everything is cleaned daily and refreshed frequently for health and sanitation.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences! I will do my best to accommodate them.. I want your dog to love visiting with us and a happy, comfortable dog makes my job easy, too!
