The best care for your fur babies!

Pet care experience

Hello Friends! My name is Kristen and I’m the biggest animal lover! I grew up in a family that saves puppy mill dogs and have always had at least 3 pet siblings (my parents currently have 5 dogs and 2 cats)! I have both a 1 year old cat and a 12 year old pittie named Cooper - they are my whole world! I love animals so much (even more than humans - sorry!) and would do pretty much anything for any animal. I’m so passionate about animals, that I became vegetarian over 15 years ago due to animal right issues. I currently volunteer at multiple animal rescue nonprofits and dream of opening an animal sanctuary one day :) I have extensive experience with senior pups and have successfully given medication such as eye drops and insulin shots to pets - even when they really squirm and don't want the medicine :) Also, one of my parent's dogs was born without his back two legs - so I have experience handling disabled pups who need diaper changes and help getting into their "wheels".

Kristen was amazing at taking care of my fur babies in a very short notice. She came to my home and ensured they were taken care off and most importantly showed them loved while I was away. She is a highly recommend and I will definitely book her again.

Kristen was great house sitting our dog and home. She was very respectful and kind, punctual, communicative, and took great care of our dog and home. We will definitely be booking her for our future trips.

I found Rover while searching for a pet sitter on the internet. I had to go out of town unexpectedly and needed someone quick. I chose Kristen from many available options and it was smooth sailing from there. She was quick to respond and answered all my questions. Even though we didn't have time to meet in person, her professionalism put me at ease, I knew my two little guys were in good hands. I have two cats so I just needed someone to stop by and feed them and clean the littler box a couple times a day. At each visit I would get a text and a picture from Kristen letting me know my boys were doing great and all was well. I definitely will book with Kristen next time I need a pet sitter!!

I would love to help take care of your pet and I promise I will treat them as if they were my own child. I’m happy to provide walks, baths, medication, snuggles and everything else that comes with caring for your fur baby! I am very organized, punctual and clean. I will be respectful and protective of your home and your privacy whenever on your property - happy to water plants or grab mail if needed as well :)

Information Kristen S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any specific dietary requirements, as well as any medication that I can help provide. I would also love to know how their tolerance is with other dogs and if there are any other quirks I should be aware of while out on a walk :)

A typical day

If your pup (or adventurous leash-trained cat) likes being outside, I would love to take them to a nearby park for some fresh air! I also absolutely discuss with you if dog parks are fun (or scary) for your pet and will not take them, unless I have your approval.

I recently left my corporate job in tech marketing and am going back to school (virtually) to be a holistic health coach - so I have a lot of flexibility right now!
