Hello, I’m Kristen! I have two medium sized dogs of my own that I’ve had for 4 years. Ive had dogs/cats my entire life. I have a years worth of experience working in a no kill shelter environment. I also ran my own stray dog rescue for a year where I rescued, vetted, and rehomed over 15 dogs of varying breeds. I’m familiar/comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I have years of experience in the pet sitting business both professionally and personally. I am comfortable doing in home visits, walks, feedings, and some short term boarding (varies per client)

My boys love Kristen! This is their second time staying with her and they certainly feel right at home in her care. I can’t recommend her enough!

Kristen did a wonderful job. We are very happy with her! Mia, our cat, was well taken care of and was very happy to see us when we returned.

Caring and easy going while still being detail oriented. Nice clean space for the dogs. Kristen was great and our little dog was healthy and happy.

Charley really likes Kristen! It’s obvious she’s has a lot of experience with dogs. I feel very comfortable letting her walk Charley in our neighborhood.

Kristen is great! She provided pictures and updates on the visits. I had zero worries while I was gone. I appreciated that she spent some time with my dogs and loved on them. I could tell from our meet and greet that they were going to love spending time with her.

Schedule

I am an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. I spend a lot of time with my own dogs throughout the day and have the time and love to give to other pets in need of extra attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard that is perfect for play/potty time without fear of escape or interaction with neighboring animals. I also offer an entire basement setup in the event that any of the clients pets need separation. If I am visiting your home for a visit, you can find comfort in my professionalism. I am trustworthy and very detailed oriented.

Pets

A typical day

Physical activity is important! So you can expect your dog to get daily walks. I also like to utilize my fenced in backyard to play fetch. In the warmer months I like to set up a kiddie pool for the dogs who enjoy the water.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Kristen can host up to 2 pets per night
It is important for me to know beforehand if your pet has any temperament issues or otherwise cautionary behaviors (food aggression, toy aggression, don’t like being held, and other things that make them reactive). I will only be accepting pets who are kid friendly. I would also prefer that the pet parent provide a crate for their pet if it is needed during times when I’m away from the home. Reasons for this might include marking, chewing things they shouldn’t, or excessive bathroom use in the house.
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.
