Pet care experience

Friend of Furry Families!!!

I retired after three decades of teaching high school. Now, I'm embracing my other love - being with animals. I completed the Dog Walking and Pet Sitting course through Animal Behavior College, and I am a Certified Positive Dog Trainer at Petco. I am a member of Professional United Pet Sitters (PUPS), and I'm insured by Pet Care Insurance (PCI). I grew up with a lovable mutt, and I can't imagine ever not having a couple of pups. I've been a pet mom of dogs and cats for 25 years, and they are my kids, my family. When I was growing up, I also had hamsters, mice, and a rat. I love animals of ALL kinds. I have always wanted a pet raccoon or ferret, but I am happy with my SPCA rescues. I will definitely love your babies like my own. After spending years caring for human kids, I can't wait to care for pet babies. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your precious pets. :)

Safety, trust & environment

I will respect my client's home as their sanctuary. I'm there to care for the animals - whatever that means to them: feeding, giving meds, playing in their home, taking them for walks, or just cuddling. I can even bathe them if I know in advance that's what they want.

Kristen was amazing with our kitties! She is very thorough, makes sure they’re comfortable and getting the best treatment just like they would if we were home. We enjoyed hearing about each visit and getting the pictures she sent. My mind was at ease to travel knowing she was taking good care of them!

Kristen is hands-down the BEST!!! She is who you want watching your pets. She has experience as a dog-trainer and she is also a long-time dog and pet owner. Her background as a high school teacher is a plus - she is responsible, responsive and caring. She likes to have fun with our puppy and sends us pictures and updates throughout the day. Look no further, she is the one you have been looking for!!!

I am a Dog Trainer, and I have a strange schedule. My open days are Sundays and Mondays, but I'm available some mornings and Friday afternoons. I really enjoy working with dogs and being around most animals. I'll pass on walking your pet bear. ;o)

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kristen can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Obviously, I need to know any medical issues. It's important to understand their personality, likes, and dislikes, how they react to other dogs we may encounter on a walk. I will respect your guidelines on feeding and snacks, so I need to know that information as 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.
