About: Hello, I'm Kristy! I'm a lifetime animal lover based in Tracy. I have experience caring for my own dogs, currently have two senior Great Danes and regularly help friends with drop in visits and dog walks. I'm comfortable with strong pullers, senior dogs, and administering medication if needed. I work part time. Im able to stop by for visits or walks on my days off. I'm flexible on times. I will keep my rover calendar updated. Your pets safety and routine come first. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedule, and household rules. I treat every clients home with dignity and respect.

About: I’ve been raised with dogs my whole life, with my own fur baby adopted little over a year! My family and friends have trusted me to watch/walk their dogs numerous times. Dogs tend to gravitate towards myself, they can probably smell that i like them :-D Just recently graduated from college, looking for a side hustle while following my career goals! During the week I have the most free time, with weekends usually away traveling. I am extremely active with no issues walking far distances for your fur baby, and will adhere to any necessities for your dogs maintenance (medicine, feeding, etc).
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since 1997; from dogs/cats-reptiles/fish & I was taught to treat them with just as much care, love & respect that you’d give a child. I’m familiar with their care, needs & certain levels of training. That being said, I hope to have the chance to meet yours & care for them while you're away! I currently work from home & have had some extra time on my hands. I recently came across Rover & thought it would be a perfect way to invest my spare time in an intentional/purposeful & financially lucrative way. I can work around most schedules, whether that’s weekends, early mornings or evenings. The best part about animals is that they’re all so different & unique in their own special way; which calls for a different level of care from pet-pet, not 1 animal is the same in my opinion. All that to say, I’m willing to adapt to anything/everything your pet may need while you’re away & hope to hear from you soon!
About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life! When I was younger I took good care of my cocker spaniel and was responsible for taking her out on walks, feeding her, and taking her out to do her business. For the past 8 years I’ve taken care of three cats, making sure their litter box is clean and they are regularly fed and have water readily available. I am available at all hours every day of the week, but I just need a days notice to confirm the hours. Please reach out to confirm. I’m available to check in on your pets throughout the day. I’ll make sure they are fed and have water. Of course play time and attention included! I’ll clean out the cat’s litter box and walk your doggos!

My home includes a fully fenced yard, plenty of supervised play, a kennel for crate-trained dogs, and one very friendly, neutered dog. Safety, cleanliness, and positive interactions are always a priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. (For cats I will only do care in your home to ensure safety of your cat as my dog has not been around cats)

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Vernalis. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
