Information Kristy J. would like to know about your pet

If your dog is on a routine, I would love to know it so I can implement it as best as I can. I would also like to know if they take any medications and when they should be given. If you pup has special needs or anxiety, I would like to take precautions and make sure they feel safe in my home.

A typical day

Depends on the pet! My older pups love to nap and I play with them if they are up to it. Most of the time they want snuggles on the couch while I read or watch TV. The puppies and high-energy dogs I watch enjoy going on walks and playing with all kinds of toys in my home. You're welcome to bring their favorite toys and I will walk them as often as they need.

Pet care experience

I've had pet dogs and cats my entire life and have pet sat for neighbors and friends since moving to the DMV area. No pet is too old or too young! I have trained puppies and am comfortable taking care of dogs that require medicine or topical treatments. I am flexible, courteous, clean and professional. I treat all pets like they are my own and I'm happy to chat and see if I'm the right sitter for you!

Kristy is the best. On Mabel's most recent stay, she needed medical care including a visit to the vet, and Kristy took such good care of her. Kristy truly treats Mabel like her own while she is at Kristy's home. What more could we ask for?!

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.
