Information Kirsten H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or anxiety about being away from home. While I’m loving to all the pups in my care, I’ll be sure to be extra thoughtful to those clients who may take a little longer to warm up to a new environment.

A typical day

I love to toss the ball in the yard for those pups who like to fetch. If not, I’m happy to take them on a walk through the neighborhood to explore all the different scents.

Pet care experience

I love dogs. I always have. I grew up around large breed dogs (Saint Bernards, Great Danes, and English Mastiffs) though thankfully not at the same time! I love all dogs; small, medium, or large. We do have a puppy named Champ who has all the puppy energy. It has been quite the adventure since we had to say goodbye to our senior dog recently. We also have a 9 yr old little boy who loves dogs just as much as we do! We live in a pretty spacious house with lots of areas to explore. We have a fenced in back yard. We go for plenty of walks and are just a short drive from two different dog parks. We would love to host your dog while you're away!

Kirsten took wonderful care of our pup and was a lifesaver when we encountered travel delays. Great communication. Highly recommend!
