I’m a full time hospital microbiologist working weekends, Friday-Sunday. Between my husband and I there's almost always an adult here, but I’m consistently free Monday-Thursday in the mornings and afternoons to do visits or walks before the kids get home, and in the evenings Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Safety, trust & environment

Vaccination policy: To help maintain safety for all pets and people I ask for all boarding and daycare requests to provide proof of an annual Bordetella and Distemper/Parvovirus vaccines as well as a current 1 or 3 year Rabies vaccine. Between my husband and myself there is almost always someone home. There are also four kids here (age 7-12) who love to play with and love on dogs. We have a fenced yard with lots of room to play, extra dog beds and spare rooms incase your fur baby needs private space. At your home I'm equally happy to go out for a walk/to play or sit down and scratch bellies and tell them what good dogs they are.

Information Kristin D. would like to know about your pet

We would like to know their daily routines, what can set them off, what calms them down. Do they try to escape? Are they allowed on the furniture, etc.

A typical day

I love to go hiking trails and walking. We have a great neighborhood for walking dogs with lots of mature trees and McNair park is nearby. I have a little kiddy pool I put outside on days that are warm. I love to garden and have two fenced in beds I grow vegetables in so I'm often outside. Our dog Daisy likes to keep me company out there and keep watch for rabbits and squirrels that come through the fence.

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and many different breeds. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’m comfortable with giving medications and any other special needs.

Kristin and her family took such great care of Teddy! We could tell he was cared for and happy while there. Kristin sent plenty of updates and pictures and we would feel very comfortable having her watch Teddy again.

Teddy stayed with Kristin and her wonderful family for over 2 weeks while we were out of the country for vacation and was so well taken care of! We loved receiving pictures and regular updates and it looked like he was having just as much of a blast as we were! Highly recommend this sitter and we consider them to be Teddy’s second family now!

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.
