There is no such thing as a bad dog

Pet care experience

I love every kind of animal and think they deserve the best treatment. I have had dogs and other animals in my life since I was born. I grew up with animals ranging from small rodents to reptiles, a rescued squirrel, to the normal dog and cat. They take up my entire heart. I have been taking care of other people's pets since I was a child. These animals include: dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, alpacas, snakes, lizards, hissers, frogs, and bunnies. Family friends, neighbors, and family themselves come to me when they are in need of someone to watch their animals while they are gone. I have taken care of pets from daily check-ins to staying a week or more at their house. I would have no problem watching any animal for an extended period of time. I would not hesitate to take your dog with me where ever I went so they can get as much playtime and exercise as possible, unless of course they were a senior dog or special needs dog that must rest up a lot, or if you preferred otherwise!

Kierstin was great with our senior pup! Responsive to our booking request and came over ahead of time to meet our dog and understand what we were looking for. Would definitely recommend and book with Kierstin again!

Kierstin was great. She was flexible with my uncertain schedule, and took care of Luke just fine. He's a senior pooch, so isn't a fast-moving dog, but I felt she took that limitation into consideration. She asked me if taking him swimming was okay, and I said it was fine to take him, but he probably wouldn't swim. He just hung out. Luke's vacation went fine, he didn't seem out of sorts at all, and I was able to enjoy my homecoming activities w/o worrying about Luke.
