I'm currently working full-time dog walking and sitting. When I am with a client, I can dedicate myself full-time to their pet. I typically walk a dog 3 times a day (can be more or less as needed), and I will not leave them unsupervised for more than 3-6 hours at a time. I only live with one other person, my partner, and have no other animals in the home.

Safety, trust & environment

When I have pets in my care I will only provide on-leash walks/outdoor time. I do not take pets to dog parks or similar environments. I am happy to provide walks up to 5 times a day when boarding/sitting depending on your pets' needs.

Information Kristen W. would like to know about your pet

I like to be aware of any allergies or medications, medical conditions, or behavioral conditions ahead of time. Having this knowledge allows me to provide the most specialized care.

A typical day

I really enjoy training and would be happy to practice training sessions with the dogs I watch. I know most of the local greenspaces and parks in my area and am happy to travel around and take your pup to new places!

Pet care experience

I'm Kristen. I'm a recent college graduate in the process of becoming a vet. I am excited to provide pet care through a platform like Rover. I have a wide range of animal experience ranging from clinical experience to dog walking and training. I spend a lot of my downtime doing animal care, and I am happy to surround my life with furry friends. I grew up with dogs but have also had a cat, guinea pigs, snakes, and lizards in my life. I love spending time outside and taking long walks. I am thrilled to meet new dogs and to adapt to their behaviors and needs and I would love to meet your dog and treat them with the utmost care.

Kristen stayed at my place and took care of my nervous little guy on the hottest days of the year so far! She was very communicative and I can’t express how much better I felt knowing she was taking care of my apartment and my Theo!

Kristen is fantastic! Our adorable adolescent mixed breed is working on separation anxiety and needs someone to be with her if we’re gone for more than an hour. This is our second booking with Kristen. Today our pup got so excited to see Kristen again, that she became overjoyed with full body wiggles. We were able to enjoy a night out, stress free. It makes a world of difference when you know your anxious pup is passed out, belly up, next to a wonderful human who makes them feel that safe. Thank you again Kristen!

Kristen was fantastic! Our dog has separation anxiety and can’t be left alone for long periods. Kristen gave our pup lots of love and attention while we went out for the night. Thank you Kristen!

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.
