Pet care experience
We have over 25 years experience caring for pets. (In the past, Glenn was an EMT and Kirsten worked at a guide dog foundation.) Adopting rescue dogs taught us to adjust care to different personalities. We miss our dogs but enjoy providing a needed service. For safety, dogs are always supervised outside and never let off leash. We only host ONE dog client at a time. However, multiple pets from the same household are welcome. Our home provides a half acre yard close to a quiet neighborhood for longer walks. Access to furniture/beds is allowed unless against your rules. We have spare dog beds, bowls, towels, crates, small treats to reinforce good behavior, air conditioning, poop bags, etc. For Overnight Stays: Drop off time should be close to final day pick up or an additional fee may apply (see booking rates). In person meet and greets are required for dogs with no previous rover experience. Chloe, our calico cat, enjoys a separate area when we host dogs. We are mindful she deserves to feel safe so we decline dogs that may intimidate her. There are exceptions to her shying away from dogs — instead of staying in her room she loves hanging out on the couch with Theo!
Reviews
Glenn and Kirsten were lovely sitters for our bernedoodle. They were flexible and friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend them.
This was Theo’s second stay with Glenn & Kirsten, and they were as welcoming and caring as ever. Glenn kept in touch throughout the stay, and smoothly handled my pup’s feeding and medication schedule. Thanks so much to both of you!!!
Glenn and Kirsten were wonderful with our dog and super responsive with a last minute request for day care after our outside dog boarding plans on cape cod fell through. She had a great day, would recommend to anyone!
Glam and Kirsten were a perfect fit for my dog who has a hard time leaving his family. They made sure he felt right at home and were in constant communication with us. They were sure to reach out when they had questions and sent multiple pictures during his stay. When we picked our dog up, he was in good spirits ( he is typically very “sad” when we pick him up after leaving him) we will definitely be booking with them again next summer!!!

Home
Information Glenn & Kirsten K. would like to know about your pet
Flea and tick protection is required. Let us know if it is pup’s first time away from home — we can work together to make it a good experience! We need information about medical issues, feeding schedule, restrictions and mobility concerns. For example, can your dog navigate a full flight of uncarpeted wood stairs? Separation anxiety must be discussed if it is a known issue (along with any related treatments or coping methods).
A typical day
We follow your requested schedule of feeding times/restrictions and outdoor breaks. Activities can include neighborhood walks, play time in the backyard and cuddle time on the couch.

Availability
With both of us at home, we can offer more flexibility and personal attention than a lone sitter or a boarding kennel. Dogs are not expected to be alone for hours. We are happy to schedule — agreed in advance — for you to pick up your dog for visits with no charge. The opportunity to include your pup on hikes or other activities makes for a memorable family vacation on the Cape.
