Pet care experience

Extra loving care while you're away

My family and I are animal lovers! We have one dog of our own who we love and care for and she LOVES to play with other doggie friends! I have dog sat for about 15+ years for personal friends and family as well as many dogs here on Rover. All of our children love dogs and we create a loving and caring family environment. We have a large backyard in a family oriented town. Our yard is not fenced, but there is plenty of room for dogs we watch to run around and play. My children take part in caring for the dogs we sit and like to give them lots of extra hugs and love. We also enjoy going on lots of walks! We can’t wait to give your dog a warm, friendly home away from home!

Kristen was fantastic watching our dog, Nova! She was very responsive and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Nova was happy and well cared for—we couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend!

Kristin and her family were a perfect fit for our cat, Luna! She was so kind and accommodating throughout the entire booking process and Luna's stay. She regularly sent photos and updates of how Luna was doing, which made us feel at ease while we were away. We certainly hope to use her services again the next time we travel! Thank you so much, Kristin and family!

Kristen took great care of our dog in a loving family environment. She kept us posted via email and texts with photos of our dog interacting with her family. I highly recommend her.

Kristin and her family are a perfect fit for our dog, Rex. He felt right at home within minutes and I felt more than comfortable leaving him in their loving care for the weekend.their kids are comfortable with my large dog and were very sweet with him. He enjoyed plenty of attention and outdoor time as well. Kristin is going to be my #1 sitter for my dog every time we travel!!

Kristin and her family were wonderful with Koko! Kristin kept my informed about how Koko was doing everyday, took her on walks, and let her enjoy the sun like she loves to! I was extremely nervous to leave Koko, but I am so glad the I found Kristin and her family. I would definitely not hesitate to leave Koko there again!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am work from home, so I am available to be present for your dog. He/she will have someone around almost at all times. If we have to run out for anything, if your dog does not chew and is trained, he/she can have run of our home.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

We have one very friendly dog to keep yours company. I have plenty of room in the house for a crate if necessary. If medications are necessary, I am able to administer that. Our yard is not fenced, however we have a long lead where he/she can have plenty of room to run around. Our family will be present at all times when your dog is outside.

Pets

A typical day

Our dog and children will love to play with your doggie! In our large backyard we can play fetch and run around! In the summer we can put on the sprinkler if your dog would enjoy it and also go for walks around the block! Your dog won't be bored here, but will also have a balance of play, fun, cuddles and rest.

Dogs over 1 year old
I would need to know if your dog is good with children. We have four, ranging in age from 5-11. I will need your dog to be "potty" trained and not a chewer of furniture or our belongings.
