I work a full-time office job. My schedule is typically hybrid with 3 in the office and 2 days working from home. If you're fine with leaving your pet for 8 hours, that will be no problem. I can also have some flexibility in my work from home days, depending on the week. If your place is near my office in Fairview, I can let them out on my lunch break. Otherwise, I will be available to be at home with them full time for weekends with, or long weekends. I will have plenty of time to play with your pet, take them outside regularly, walk them and spend time together.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very mature and responsible and will take great care to maintain the cleanliness and condition of your home while I look after your fur babies. I pick things up quickly and will follow your instructions for care, where to find key items in your home etc down to the letter.

Information Krysten M. would like to know about your pet

It would be useful to know if your dog has any particular needs that I can be aware of, if there is any behaviour to be aware of around other dogs etc so that I know how to best plan our visit.

A typical day

I love to explore new areas and go for hikes which I hope the dogs will love and find stimulating with new smells and places to encounter. If your pup loves to meet other dogs and play, I am happy to take them to a dog park and throw the ball for them or any other activity they enjoy. I'm up for anything!

Seal Rescuer Turned Pet Sitter!

Pet care experience

Ever since I was little I've always loved animals and despite by begging my parents never let me have a pet. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I was always the first person my friends and family turned to to look after their pets in need! Now having been on Rover for over 2 years, I have experience with all sorts of dogs, from puppies to elderly doggos, little lap dogs to big boys. Over years of travel, I have lived with a variety of cats, fish, rabbits and housemates' puppers, pitching in to take care, feed and walk them to help out. When I lived in Nepal, I was continually taking in street dogs to bathe and detick them to try to improve their health, as well as giving them good meals regularly. I volunteered with dog rescue charity there as well to make even more of a difference to help ease their struggles. One of my childhood dreams came true when I started working for a seal rescue and rehabilitation centre in Ireland, where I learned to handle, tube and hand feed, and deliver basic medical treatments like wound care and injections to sick, injured and orphaned seal pups. Having worked with wild animals and learning to identify signs of distress, I feel like I am ready for anything when it comes to looking after pets and am comfortable handling and administering medications meticulously as needed. I will make sure to give your little ones the best care I possibly can!

Krysten was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and Krysten took the time to come out to my place and get to know my dogs. She kept me in the loop throughout the day and took wonderful care of my pups!

Krysten was wonderful with our anxious/reactive dog who is afraid of new people. She followed our instructions carefully and Sadie felt comfortable with her very quickly. Great and quick communications. We felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her excellent care.
