I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.

Kristin C.
“Kristin is a dog lover through and through. She provides the best care for her three boys (2 Boston Terriers and a Japanese Chin). As a dog lover myself, I'm often asking her for advice when it comes to my dogs. She is an excellent source of knowledge for foods. Of the 15+ years I've known Kristin, she has consistently been employed at upscale grooming establishments, boarding facilities, and high end canine nutrition and merchandising stores. Being a part of Rover will be second nature to her as she easily can asses your pets nature no matter the breed! Kristin is very punctual and detail oriented, especially with pets' needs, so you won't need to worry. Your baby will be getting the best care when they need it!”

Pardeep Singh G.
“Pardeep has been taking care of dogs for over 5 years! Because he works from home, he is able to provide great oversight of the dogs at his home. There’s a wonderful backyard the dogs can run around in, and Pardeep also takes them on walks around the neighborhood throughout the day to keep them active. He has two dogs of his own, and they are super friendly with other dogs, and are non-aggressive. With them as playmates, my girls are tuckered out by the time I see them in the evening. It’s also great because my girls can be socialized with other dogs during the day. He also was thoughtful to ask about any allergies or things to avoid with my girls, which I really appreciated. My little one’s tummy does not sit well with venison, so it was helpful to know Pardeep is conscious if giving my girls any treats that might have venison in them. I would definitely leave my girls in his hands again!”
