Pet care experience

Extra time and love to share!

Hello! I am a responsible and caring pet owner based in East Syracuse with lots of love to share. My only child has has flown south away from winter for college. So I am finding myself with extra time and loads of affection to share. Whether it's caring for your dogs or cats, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. From feeding and playtime to walks and cuddles; I’ll ensure they feel safe, loved and cared for while you're away. Feel free to reach out to discuss your pet care needs or if you’d like any additional information. Thank you for your consideration, Kristi V.

Kristi is nothing short of a magical Cat Whisperer. I think at least one of our cats is disappointed that we came home from vacation because she was so much fun! She is highly recommended, very dependable and sets the bar for pet sitters.

The cats have the best time with Kristi. They have really come to enjoy her watching them over the past year. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Kristi is a phenomenal sitter and person. She went above and beyond when it came to taking care of our senior Bichon and our one year old Mini Poodle. She was incredibly diligent and passionate about making sure that my dogs were walked, fed, and played with. Whether you need her for a drop-in visit or to stay overnight, she is an amazing sitter who I would highly recommend.

I am so glad Rover connected Kristi to our family. She is wonderful and we will use her any time she's available!

Kristi is such a wonderful sitter. She met my two corgis for our initial meet and greet. They loved her immediately. Between the meet and greet and the actual stay, one of our corgis passed. Kristi assured me that she'd keep Spice distracted and happy. She certainly did that. I will recommend her for anyone who needs a sitter (as long as it doesn't conflict with some time that I need her). I couldn't ask for more for when we're away!

Schedule

I do work full time but have some flexibly with my schedule. I work at SU and live in East Syracuse. I'm free on the weekends and evenings.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Kristi can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I don't have the strength to care for large dogs over 60 pounds who need to be walked on a leash. If they are older and have fenced in exercise space I'm more likely to be able to offer what they need.
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.
