Availability

I am currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much whenever. I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard. I have a 14 year old rescue that just mainly stays to herself. There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!

Information Kristen R. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know if there’s any medications that need to be administered. I do not have a preference of dog size or breeds. As long as they are not aggressive, we’ll be good to go!

A typical day

I love to play with dogs and their favorite toys. Especially if it’s tug-o-war! I will gladly take them on walks around the neighborhood or to a nearby park if there is one that allows dogs.

Loving Care When You’re Not There

Pet care experience

My family has had at least one dog in our house since I was born. Everybody in my family has dogs. I have a few family members that rely on me to help them with their dogs when they need it. Everyone in my family treats their pets like they are humans and I do just the same!

Kristen was great with Stinky! He loved her immediately. She was available for the dates and times and made sure my dog ate, drank water, pooped, peed and had playtime. I trusted that Stinky was in great care while I was out of town!

This is our first time using Kristen to drop in on our cats, but we have used Rover many times. She followed written instructions, gave me details pertaining to their health, and the cats seemed to love her. We kinda love her, too! Thank you, Kristen. :)

My dogs love her and she is awesome communicating and making sure my babies are taken care of! She will definitely be the first person I ask next time I need help.

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.
