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)

Kristin was amazing !!! This was my first time using rover so I was a little nervous but it was so much better than taking them to a boarding facility and they were happier and better cared for. Thanks Kristin!

Here’s a polished positive review you could use: Kristen was absolutely wonderful watching my two boy dogs while I was on vacation. She was friendly, reliable, and very communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated regularly and was always quick to respond to messages. Most importantly, my boys absolutely loved her! It was clear they were well cared for, happy, and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again.

Kristen was amazing. She was responsive, showed up on time and stayed for the amount of time booked, and did everything I asked of her. Most importantly she played and snuggled with my dogs and made me feel so much better about being away!! Additionally my flight back was delayed and she was flexible about making an extra visit to help me out with unexpected travel. If you need a sitter for your babies I highly recommend Kristen!

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.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog
Children 6-12 years old
Dogs not allowed on bed

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.
