Your baby will be part of our family!

Pet care experience

My husband and I love all animals, and we have plenty of space for all sizes of dogs to play including a big backyard that is completely fenced in. We have three babies of our own, two dogs (Bruno -pure breed mutt rescue & Roxy - our most treasured wedding present a German Shepherd) who both love people, kids, and of course other animals including cats. We do have a cat, but he thinks he's a dog anyway. Not to mention, he has his own play room when others come just in case. I am a stay at home mom to our babies, so walks happen frequently as well as parks. Our home is your home and we'd love to watch your baby/babies! About this sitter: I currently reside in a newer subdivision called West Highlands right inside of Atlanta. My husband and I have been together for over 8 years as well as have three fur babies of our own, 2 dogs- a 80 lb sweet mutt named Bruno (3 years) and a German Shepherd 95 lb adorable dog named Roxy (2 years). I also have a lovable cat named Monty who really thinks he's a dog. We own our home and last year I made a career change and have been blessed to be able to be a stay at home fur mom. I'll treat your babies like I do my own. Why I love dog sitting I've loved them all my life. I did have a cat growing up, but my Grandma who lived literally 4 houses down from me as a child had a black lab and then a chocolate lab that I played with and became best friends with everyday. About my yard We have a spacious backyard that has a big hill, which is good for the ones that need to run, because it tuckers them out a little faster. The hill is covered in pine-straw because I have two big dogs of my own, I understand a flowery backyard is somewhat un-achievable so it's literally puppy friendly. Our entire backyard is fenced in as well as it has two gates to lead out to the wooded area we back up to (Rockdale park) or our side entrance. UPDATE: 5.20.15: As of December 2014 I am now a proud Mom of a Baby Girl named Alessandra. She is now 5 months old (turned 5 months May 16th). She does great with all dogs so far including a few of the regular dogs I watch. I'm honest in the fact that we only do 1 walk a day now vs the 2-3 I was doing before. I do try and get in 2 walks a day, but sometimes we can't make it out the 2nd time; HOWEVER, we still play a lot outside in our backyard where they get tuckered out pretty quickly.

Kristen was great! She watched our English Bulldog for 6 days while we traveled for Thanksgiving. We received pictures and videos of our dog everyday along with quick updates letting us know how he was doing. Our dog loved playing with Kristen's dogs, which were very friendly. Kristen was very accommodating with our crazy schedule and allowed us to drop-off early and pick-up late. We would highly recommend Kristen to others looking for a great dog sitter.

We were never worried for a minute that Lila was being taken care of. Kristen was very communicative thru the entire stay. She provided pictures and always let us know the activities that Lila was engaging in. Lila met new friends, went to the park and was a happy doggie when we returned!

When I got Ren back she was worn out :) it was wonderful! Kristen was great with her. I could tell, as I watched Ren interact with her and her dogs that Ren had grown very comfortable with them over her week long stay. Kristen is very kind and kept me at ease by sending me daily updates and pictures. I am so glad I found her and she will be my first choice from now on.

Information Kristen M. would like to know about your pet

My dad raises pit bulls and my neighbors growing up had the sweetest Doberman's so I'm not afraid of any breeds. As long as they are behaved and sweet, we will get along fine.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks If I take your dog for a walk, we are located in a brand new subdivision (West Highlands) that is still expanding. We have a park, walking trail, and sidewalks throughout our neighborhood. There is also part of the silver comet trail that is directly behind our house I frequently take our dogs to. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Our puppies do sleep downstairs unless there is a thunderstorm at which they sleep with us (Bruno is terrified of anything loud). Both of our dogs are kennel trained in the event your dog likes to sleep solo. We currently don't use our kennels: update: Bruno hasn't quite gotten over the fireworks from the 4th of July, so on some we've left the kennel out (they both think it's a safe zone and their go to home when they are scared). Since we have two large dogs, both of our dogs like to sleep with each other and the cat so when they do sleep in the kennel it's together. Due to the excessive amount of hair I vacuum daily, we do try to keep the dogs downstairs, but I have made other arrangements with friends and family on a case by case basis. Time I'll spend with your dog I am a stay at home fur-mom, so unless I'm out running errands, I will be at home spending time with all of my babies. This will include walks and if your comfortable and I have the space, even a park trip.
