Availability
Your pets are my number one priority during my time with them and since I do Rover full time I try to revolve my schedule around your pets so their routines don't have to change. I will occasionally have dog walks or drop ins to go to but if your pets have scheduled feeding times, walk times, or medication times I will make sure to be exact with those.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I know that trust is a big thing and want to make sure you, the owners, feel at ease and relaxed while you are away. I send two/three updates with pictures (sometimes videos) a day to let you know what/how your pets have been doing; if they are eating normally and using the bathroom regularly, their behavior, energy levels, etc. I'm also happy to help with any small tasks around the house that your pets can't do while you're away 😆: bringing in your mail/packages, watering your plants, taking down your trash cans, etc.
Information Kristin D. would like to know about your pet
• what a day to day looks like for your pet • energy level • how many walks per day & how they behave during them - if you have two or more dogs do you walk them together? • sleeping habits • medications • if your pet is reactive, i.e. leash/food/animal reactive
A typical day
A day all depends on your type of dog! If your dog enjoys play time I can take them to a dog park near by, if allowed, or go on a long walk or hike. If your dog isn't very active that okay too, I would enjoy being able to just snuggle with your pup

Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Kristin! I started doing Rover in 2019 part time when I was in college and ever since I've found an even larger love for animals. After leaving college I had a year and a half gap with Rover and I worked at a doggy daycare, gaining a lot of experience that I'm able to bring to my Rover sittings; giving medications, handling senior dogs and cats, handling anxious pets, CPR training, being able to remember over 100 dogs triggers/quirks, and just the bonds I was able to make with all of them. 💛 Now, since August 2021, I am lucky to have Rover as my full time job; offering boarding in your home with a commute as far as 25 miles, and up to 6 dog walks and drop in's a day for any and all animals you may have.
Reviews
Kristin is the best! She is so great with our dogs, our dog Crash who is really scared of people loves her because of how great and patient she has been with him!!
Kristin was wonderful with our 4 fur babies in our home! We got regular updates and could tell from photos and messages she went above and beyond giving them lots of TLC. We’d love to have her back next time we travel!
Kristin was amazing! So communicative and kind. Both of our dogs loved her and we loved seeing the pictures she sent!
Kristen is just awesome! Last month somehow messed up scheduling a date Kristen and I had discussed for her too care for my three mini dachshunds on the day when I would be gone from home from 3 AM until 830 or 9 PM. I discovered that I had never scheduled it the night before we were to leave. I reached out to her via the River site. She advised that she already had a really busy day scheduled, and yet, still found time to schedule to drop in visits to check on my kids, feed them, and give them potty breaks. I let her know that I understood her being busy and that I could make other arrangements because I did not want to overburden her day when she was already so busy. She insisted that she was able to do the two drop in visits. My baby love her to death. She is such an awesome, caring, kind person. She goes above and beyond. She is a sitter, pet caregiver extraordinaire!!!
