Information Kristen V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks. I like to know his/her favorite games, eating and sleeping habits and typical routine. I know a new environment can be stressful for a dog, so I would love to know favorite calming techniques if needed.

A typical day

Depending in the size and capabilities of the dog, Im happy to take him/her on a run or walk! I have a membership at Bear Creek Lake Park and take dogs there along the coolness of the creek in the summer. I also will walk in the neighborhood!

Loving, Fun Home for Your Pet

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets most of my life and absolutely love them. Animals often gravitate to me and I’m frequently a favorite caregiver! I‘m very responsible while also very playful and snuggly! Your dog will become part of the family and get a lot of attention! I also have 2 kids - a 20 yo son who goes to college and 17 yo daughter - who love interacting with dogs.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We did a trial overnight stay before a longer booking we have coming up, and it couldn't have gone better. After losing our longtime dog sitter, we were looking for someone new we could trust, and we found exactly that. Kristen was fantastic - kind, personable, and clearly great with dogs. Even during a quick overnight stay, we received several check-ins, videos, and updates that showed how much fun our pup was having. The communication and care gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend her and are excited for our upcoming longer stay!

Kristen did a wonderful job taking care of Ange! She went on several great walks and hikes, which Ange loves. Kristen was very communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were away. We’ll definitely book with her again for any future trips.

Kristen was wonderful with our Chance! She was able to accommodate a last minute request and was very communicative throughout the duration. Would absolutely use her again in the future :)

Kristen was communicative and flexible making our somewhat last minute booking very smooth! I could tell Luna was well taken care of with tons of walks, hikes, and frequent updates. Would definitely book Kristen 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.
