Availability

I provide pet care full-time, so my schedule revolves around the dogs in my care. Pets receive regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, feeding, rest periods, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I am home full time, I am able to closely monitor behavior, routines, and individual needs.

Safety, trust & environment

My home has a fully fenced backyard and multiple indoor spaces that allow dogs to be separated when needed. Dogs are carefully introduced and supervised, and feeding is done separately when appropriate. I prioritize a calm, structured environment where dogs can safely socialize, play, or relax. Cats have their own dedicated area away from dogs to ensure everyone's comfort and safety.

Information Kristopher S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dog's temperament, play style, potty training status, feeding routine, medications, medical conditions, and any special needs. I also like to know about resource guarding, separation anxiety, reactivity, escape tendencies, and how your pet does around other dogs, cats, and children. The more information you provide, the better I can make your pet's stay safe and comfortable.

A typical day

A typical day includes morning potty breaks, breakfast, supervised indoor and outdoor play, enrichment activities, rest periods, and lots of interaction throughout the day. Dogs spend time socializing with compatible playmates, relaxing indoors, and enjoying time in the yard. I adjust activities based on each dog's age, energy level, and personality.

Pet care experience

I have over 11 years of experience caring for animals and provide full-time pet care in a structured home environment. My focus is on safety, supervision, and making pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I care for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels and can accommodate special routines, medications, and senior pets. My home features a fully fenced yard and multiple indoor spaces that allow pets to be separated when needed. I take time to learn each pet's personality and needs so they can have a safe, positive, and stress-free stay.

Kristopher was awesome! He was waiting for me at my early morning drop off and communicated wonderfully about my dog. I really appreciated the pics he sent and being new to Rover- I think he made a great name for this company! I will look for his care in the future for sure! -Mary

I just met Kristopher last week. I needed Care for my eight year-old boy who needs lots of attention and that he’s just not used to being alone. Kristopher showed up on my search engine as. A star sitter. I’ve given him five stars, but if there were more stars to give to them, I would definitely give them. Is one of the nicest young man I’ve met in a long time and I felt no worry leaving my dog in his care. He had some other animals. He was watching at the time and when I finally came back to pick my boy up, there was someone who had just picked her dogs up and her and Kristopher we’re talking he stopped the conversation and went and got my boy Sheldon otherwise you’re gonna Sheldon. The owner who was in her car and I talked about how great of a caregiver he is. He’s as good as it gets and if you love your animal, I couldn’t recommend anybody higher, I’ve had lots of good sitters on Rover and I’ve loved them all, but I have to give this guy a six star on a five star review. Thanks. Kristopher

Kristopher was great! I was super nervous leaving my little guy with him and he made me feel really comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would highly recommend him! Thank you, Kristopher!

We recently adopted Finn and were a bit anxious about how he would do after being with us for such a short time. Kristopher was wonderful—patient and responsive from start to finish. He kept us updated with photos and info that really put us at ease. Finn clearly had a great time with Kristopher and his family!

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.
