Kristi was so wonderful with our dogs! We were worried about our 9 month old Rottie because he had never been cared for by anyone other than family, but Kristi made an extra meet and greet visit to make sure Goose was comfortable with her before we left. During the visit she went above and beyond to make sure my pups were happy. We are so glad we have found her to take care of our dogs when we are in need!

Absolutely loved Kristi from the start! Both dogs took to her immediately which helped so much. First time using Rover and as my husband said, We hit the Jackpot with Kristi! We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and didn't ever worry about the dogs. The Communication Great, loved getting pictures and updates. Highly recommend Kristi for anyone in the Palmetto, FL area.

Kristi did an excellent job taking care of our dogs while we were away. She sent plenty of pictures and took extra care of them, even helping to get our finicky German Shepherd to actually eat her food. Will definitely use her services 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.
