It is my top priority to keep your pets safe. I will abide by all your house and safety rules that you have outlined for your pet. I maintain a healthy active lifestyle - I do not drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or use recreational drugs. If I am house sitting, I will ensure your home is kept very clean and in great condition.

Information Kristen T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special requirements or needs to be administered medication. If you are undergoing special training with your pet (eg. trying to get them to learn new skills), I can incorporate that training into my time with them. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats that are prone to seizures or have special needs.

A typical day

Walking, jogging, fetch, mind stimulating games, using their toys to play with them. At the local parks - with permission, I can allow your dog off leash to play fetch .. or secure them to my 50 foot long lead. Aside from that, generous belly rubs and chin scratches are guaranteed!

Pet care experience

Hello pet parents! Thanks for your interest in my pet sitting services - I genuinely love spending the majority of my free time with animals! I love to take dogs on daily adventures such as hikes, swimming, long walks along the river, and walks along nature trails. House sitting is sent 1-2 updates per day. Dog walking and drop-in visits receive a notification that I have arrived and an update with multiple pictures at the end of the visit. My house sitting services are overnight and best suited for pets that can be left alone 4-6 hours during the day and possibly 2-3 hours in the evenings. For dogs, two 30-min walks per day are included with house sitting aside from frequent potty breaks and playtime. I work part-time remotely as a Virtual Assistant - so, as long as I have my laptop and a secure internet connection, then I am able to work from anywhere. I am also available for day or night sits in your home or in your hotel if you are visiting Victoria and need me to watch your dog while you do some dining and sightseeing. Please send this request as a house sit. My rates hourly rates for pet sitting are as follows: 30 mins $25 (additional dog or cat $5) 1 hour $40 (additional dog or cat $5) 2 hour $55 (additional dog or cat $10) 3 hour $70 (additional dog or cat $15) 4 hour $85 (additional dog or cat $20) 5 hour $100 (additional dog or cat $25) ** Holidays add additional dog / cat rate I offer 20-30 minute complimentary meet ‘n greets. After our meet, without confirmation, I am only able to hold dates for up to 12 hours. Please reserve as quickly as possible - as my calendar fills up fast, especially during holidays and summer months. If choosing drop-in visits for your dog, I require a minimum of 3 visits per day unless your dog has access to a doggy door to relieve themselves outside. I am not able to transport dogs in my own personal vehicle. I can’t offer drop-off or pick-up services, sorry for the inconvenience.

Kristen took great care of my cats and my home while I was away on a short work trip. Appreciated the pictures and video of each check in. Would highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience with Kristen and would absolutely book with her again. She provided detailed updates, photos, and videos after every visit, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. During my trip, both of my cat fountains unexpectedly stopped working. She was able to fix one of them and thoughtfully set up a separate water bowl when the other couldn't be repaired, making sure my cats always had access to fresh water. I was traveling in an area with very limited cell service and couldn't respond to messages right away, but she continued to keep me updated and was incredibly understanding. She even checked in afterward to make sure we had returned home safely, which I thought was very thoughtful and caring. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate cat sitter.

Kristen took great care of my cats during drop-in visits! She sent lots of photos/videos and detailed updates each visit, which really gave me peace of mind while traveling. One of my cats is very shy, and she was patient and understanding with him as well. I would definitely book with her again!

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.
