Home full-time and big yard

We’re a loving family of 4 from the Midwest. We used to have 3 terriers, but we no longer have any of them since they have passed from old age and cancers. We really miss having a pet around, but since all of our family is in the Midwest it makes it hard to find care for our pets when traveling to see family and friends. We thought caring for other pets could be a nice way to get our dog fix. :) Our one dog could never be in a kennel or he would stress too much so we know how important finding caring sitters is. We’d love to take your pet for walks, play ball, and give lots of cuddles if that is what they prefer. Our work is very flexible so someone can be home to watch over your pet day and night. We would love to watch over your furry friend and make him or her a temporary part of our family. When watching your pet(s) we would not take anyone else’s dogs/cats. We don’t want to potentially add any more stress to their day while you’re away by introducing new pets while they’re in our home. We look forward to giving you updates through pictures and texts while you’re away. We know it put our mind at ease when we had to leave our dogs with sitters and it was fun to see their adventures, too! We do not take any Pitbulls or Pitbull mixes because of some unfortunate experiences at this time.

Kirsten and Kristian treat Luna like part of the family! They share lots of amazing photos and updates, so we never have to worry about how she is doing. Highly recommend them!

Kirsten and Kristian were the perfect host for us this week! They were very accommodating and regularly provided photos and updates during Daisy's stay. We will definitely rebook with them (if they are willing...LOL). Thank you Kirsten and Kristian!

They took amazing care of Luna! It was like she was a part of their family. The frequent updates and lots of photos made us feel at ease, knowing everything was going smoothly.

Kirsten and Kristian took such wonderful care of our dog, Mulligan, over spring break! They sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Mulligan was clearly happy, well cared for, and got plenty of walks and attention. It meant a lot to know he was in such good hands all week. We would absolutely recommend them and will definitely be using them again!

Kirsten and Kristian were amazing and easy going from start to finish. They are very responsive and provide updates as well as pictures throughout the day which we appreciated a lot! Our baby had the best time there and got comfortable quick which speaks volumes about Kirsten and Kristian. They are very accommodating to any requests and are very caring. Would definitely book again!

Kirsten&Kristian never fail, they’re the BEST sitters! I received updates daily and I didn’t worry about the care of my fur babies! This is our third time they have watched our dogs and I will definitely be calling them again to watch our dogs! If you want excellent care for your fur babies book with K&K!

We love going for walks around the neighborhood or at parks if it something your baby would like to do. We’re always up for a game of fetch, too. Let us know what you dog likes and we’ll be sure to accommodate the best we can.

We always want to know when they like to be fed and what kind of exercise they prefer. We would also love to know where they like to sleep so he/she is happiest. We're very familiar with terriers and retrievers, but will not take Pitbulls or Pitbull mixes.
