Responsible & Experienced Pet Lover

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.

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.

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.
