Pet care experience

At home full-time, no dog overlaps!

I currently have no dogs at home and would love to take care of yours! I grew up with our New Foundland/Great Pyranese mix and a sweetheart golden retriever. Over the past ten years I've been dog sitting for friends and clients. Some of the dogs I have watched needed medication and/or extra attention as they're high anxiety pets. Other times the owners have been the anxious ones! I know it can be hard to leave your fur baby behind so I'm happy to send updates and pictures if that's something you want. I love all breeds and sizes. I am at home full time and very flexible so if your pup has any special needs, just let me know! A couple of things to note: - I only board dogs from one client at a time so your dog/dogs will not be staying with other animals that they haven't met. - For overnight stays, my home has a fenced yard with trees and room to run. I also have a nice little park in walking distance of my house where we can play. - I do have young kids at home so if your dog nips at or jumps on children, or if they just don't get on well with kids then we are not the best fit for you! Again, feel free to let me know of any special requests or needs for your pup. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dog!

We left our pup with Kirsten, and she sent us regular updates with pics/videos, which showed us that he was well taken care of and had a great time. She also was able to give a medicine that coincided with his stay.

Kirsten and her family were wonderful. They sent photos and updates. Seem to have a really good time with our girl. We would love to have Roxy stay with them again!

Kirsten was great! Provided several daily photo + video updates and spent tons of time in their fenced in yard throwing the ball for my dog and letting her chase squirrels. Highly recommend to say the least!

My dog, Goody, had a great stay with Kristen and her family. They have a house and yard that she was able to play in. Kristen communicated well and gave us updates on her stay. Will definitely use them again if timing works out!

Kristin and her family were great. It was clear that Winnie was getting a lot of love, attention and pets. We received pictures and updates daily.

I'm currently at home full-time and my schedule is very flexible. I leave the house to run errands now and then but for the most part I'll be at home to care for your dog!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard with room to run and play as well as space to relax inside. As for dogs on the furniture, we follow whatever your house rules are. If you allow them on the couch at home then we throw a blanket on the couch and cuddle up!

A typical day

I go out on a walk to our neighborhood park twice a day and I love to take the dogs that I board if they are up to it! We also play in our backyard frequently.
