Pet care experience
I've had my own dogs for over 25 years, and have cared for friends' dogs on countless occasions. I have learned much about dog behavior, and am so grateful to trainers like Patricia McConnell and Sophia Yin, whose books have taught me the power of positive reinforcement for dog training. For a year, I co-fostered a very active and strong young coonhound mix who had been returned to a shelter FIVE times in the first year of her life for problem behaviors. She is now a lovely, well-behaved dog who lives a happy life in New York City. I have experience with clicker-trained dogs, teaching "pullers" to walk without tension in the lead, and taking care of senior dogs. We have a large crate, but will also accept dogs who are not crate-trained.
Reviews
Kiersten is the best! Our doggies always have a great time with her!!
Kiersten is just the best!
I felt totally at ease leaving our dog, Ellie, with Kiersten. Kiersten is so calm and kind and kept us updated with pictures of the weekend. I will definitely use Kiersten again.
This review is long overdue. Kiersten has been walking LB and Marvin for awhile now. She is fantastic! Great with communication, caring, thoughtful and punctual. She takes great pup photos and provides detailed descriptions of the visit. Thanks Kiersten!!

Information Kiersten C. would like to know about your pet
We have a 3-year-old son and a 12-year old large but gentle female dog. So we will only consider boarding dogs that are respectful of both kids and other dogs. Active dogs are acceptable (and fun!), as long as they have good manners :)
A typical day
We love to go to Lake Mohegan in Fairfield for trail walks or even a swim on a hot day. In the off-season, we also love to take our pup to the Fairfield beaches for a romp. We have a fenced-in backyard as well for some off-leash fun. We love to set up scavenger hunts for our dog, letting her use her super-powerful nose to find treats. We have a tiered lawn and athletic dogs will enjoy jumping up and down the tiers.
