Pet care experience
As a dog & cat mom, I know the importance of finding trustworthy care for your family members. I have extensive experience caring for a variety of dog breeds, cats, rabbits & birds. I have over 10 years of experience volunteering for dog & cat rescues with the direct care of dogs in the shelter & fostering.
Reviews
Kristen was super sweet to my cats, very attentive, and the kitties love her too! Thank you so much!!
Kristen is one of the very few people I trust to watch my fur babies! Not only is she a reliable and trustworthy person, she also has extensive experience working in shelters and with rescue dogs. That type of dog-handling experience is invaluable and I know Kristen could handle any situation that may arise. Highly recommended!
Kristen is a huge animal lover. We met when she was volunteering at a dog shelter, and we'd take dogs on hikes together. Since then we've both adopted dogs and she's always willing to provide room to care for a few more as she continues to foster and watch friends' pets. I trust Kristen with my dog wholeheartedly and know she would provide the best care possible for anyone who has the opportunity to work with her through Rover.
About Kristen S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I understand the importance of creating a safe environment, having adopted 2 timid dogs. Making sure to understand the pets individual needs & the owners requests for care is the first priority. I am extremely cautious of entering/leaving homes, double checking that doors are secure & locked. Sending updates & asking questions if I’m unsure of something.
