Information Kristin R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special dietary needs or behaviors that your pets may have. If they are afraid during storms that is always good to be aware of ahead of time.

A typical day

It all depends upon what your pets like to do, if they like walks we will go on several a day. I have wonderful paved, wooded trails that I walk on daily. If they would like the dog park, I am happy to take them there. They will get lots of love, pets and snuggles while you are away.

Pet care experience

Trusted dog & cat sitter for several families in MN and across the country. Big to small sized dogs and cats of all ages welcome! I have had Golden retrievers since I was young. My family fostered Dachschunds when my kids were growing up too. We have had cats, hamsters and fish throughout the years.

Kristin was absolutely amazing! After meeting Kristin we knew we had made the best decision of who we wanted to take care of our dog Walter. She has a wonderful personality, was very accommodating and genuinly cared about providing a great experience for Walter and our family. Kristin provided excellent communication and sent us updates multiple times a day including pictures and videos of Walter while they were on walks and playing. We had an awesome experience and could not have made a better choice of a care giver for our dog and familiy. Kristin is awesome and I would highly recommend her if your're looking for a quality provider and someone who is truely engaged with you and your pet.

Kris was a spectacular sitter. About the time that I thought about missing my pups, she had already send images and videos to let me know they were happy and doing well. She was quick to respond, helpful and great to work with. Would definitely have her back.

We felt very good about Kris staying at our home for 10 days with our dog. She was excellent at communicating with us before and during our time away. We definitely will be asking her to come again to help with Tobie.

5 Stars is not enough for this incredible Rover dog/house sitter! Kristin followed our directions to a T, (and then some!) She took care of our dog and home as if they were her own. Our dog was so comfortable while we we gone and our house looked better than when we left. I will be disappointed if we can’t book her every time we need her services!
