Krysten is very caring and conscientious so glad she took care of Grace when we had to be away

Doggy Day Care • Jun 10, 2019

Krysten is so wonderful with Buddy! He loves her! I had to be gone for an extended amount of time, and Buddy was due for a surgery the next day, so I needed him to feel calm and peaceful, and Krysten does just that. She is a natural with dogs, and I will definitely be using her again!

Krysten was very good to our dog and kept in contact with us. She was very easy to book and communicate with. We will absolutely book with Krysten again.

Krysten was great. We got several pics and updates through-out the day. Luna seemed like she was having a great time. I will definitely use her again

House Sitting • Apr 21, 2019

I have never left my pets with anyone so I was skeptical about using Rover. I viewed profiles of sitters nearby and found Krysten. There was just something about her that made me feel drawn to send a request. She replied back quickly and was able to meet my request even though it was on a short notice. She sent me pictures of my dogs while I was away, even without me asking. She made sure they all ate their special and different diets, gave medication to one of my senior dogs, and made it comforting to me knowing someone who genuinely cared about my dogs was with them while I couldn't be. I could tell by their faces and body language in the pictures she sent that they really did like her. She was a great fit for watching my dogs and I even booked her again after this intial short trip. I will continue to recommend her and use her in the future.

Krysten has looked after my dogs for years. She is sweet and compassionate When my eldest dog passed away in November she sent a sympathy card and flowers she has been to my house on 13 different occasions to dog sit I do not trust anyone as much as her to get the job done right.

Pets

A typical day

It's all about owner preferences. Some owners like their dogs to be in a socialized setting while others prefer their dog be in a more private setting. For dogs that enjoy socialization, we will go to places that are owner specified such as dog parks, regular parks and the sponge docks. For owners who would like their dog to stay in a more private setting, we will play outside in my fenced yard.

Please let me know if the dog has any illnesses or triggers. I can be sure to eliminate possible issues with this information. I have no breed restrictions, I think all breeds are lovely.
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.
