Highlights
Pet care experience
All Breeds, All Love.
**Conveniently Located Just Minutes from Peoria International Airport!** I provide a loving, in-home environment where your dog is treated like part of the family. With experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, I ensure each guest feels comfortable, happy, and right at home while you're away. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, snuggles, or needs a little extra TLC, they'll fit right in. As a mom and a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and lots of love in providing the best care for your furry friend.

Ratings and reviews
Kerstin and her family were so kind to my Lana. Lana seemed to have the best weekend of her life and had so much fun that she spent the entire next day resting. Thank you so much, Kerstin.
They have a backyard for my dog to run. Sent pics of my dog, which I appreciated. Kirstin graciously agreed to let me pick up my dog rather late at night when my plane got delayed. Convenient to airport. Overall pleased.
Kerstin was great with Luna! I was a little nervous since it had been a while since my dog had been out with others, but she sent me pics of Luna having a great time, especially with her young daughter. I would definitely recommend!
Kerstin was wonderful with Camila, she was quick to answer all questions and did whatever she could to make Camila feel at home. We appreciated all of her updates and pictures!
It was so nice knowing that Ziva was in a home with a family and not stuck in a loud kennel somewhere. She did really well and I’m very happy with Kerstin.
Kerstin is absolutely the BEST! Her and her family treated our energetic 20 month old German Shepard like if he was part of their family. She sent us pictures and updates on him every day. She is amazing with pets and has so much patience. We were so happy to find her she gave us such a relief on our 1st time vacation after getting Slinky. Definitely will be taking Slinky to Kerstin in a future. Don’t overthink it she is the BEST!!!

Schedule
Being a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life! With a fenced-in yard and a cozy home, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel right at home. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, or a comfy place to relax while you're away, I seamlessly incorporate pet sitting into my routine. Your pet will get the attention and care they deserve, alongside my own Labernard, who loves making new friends! I can accommodate kenneled or free-roaming pets, depending on their needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I believe every pet deserves a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while their owners are away. I provide personalized care with plenty of attention, affection, and understanding. My spacious, fenced-in yard allows for safe outdoor play. Pets can either roam freely or be kenneled at night—whatever makes them feel most comfortable. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or a quiet space to relax, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel happy, secure, and loved.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day for the pets I watch is filled with care, play, and plenty of attention! Mornings start with breakfast and outdoor time in my fenced yard, followed by play sessions depending on their energy level. Midday is a great time for a chance to relax. Afternoons bring more outdoor fun. Evenings wind down with dinner, some quiet time, and a final potty break before settling in for the night. Whether they love to play, explore, or just lounge, I make sure every pet feels at home!
