Attention & Play While You’re Away
Pet care experience
We welcome your dog(s) and some other pets to our semi-country setting in Independence on acreage, or every other week, in Hanover (small pets only). Your pet will play outside, supervised (dog park avail), sleep inside, and be befriended by our 7 year old, well-adjusted, 38# spayed female dog. Some medications, baths, grooming, and puppies are in our wheelhouse. I generally take one dog at a time (other than unavoidable overlaps in schedule), but if you have a pair that should stay together, feel free to contact me. There's enough love in our house for everyone. Now also in HANOVER! My calendar shows i am not available every other week. However, this is a work around for how the Rover calendar works. Please reach out even if calendar shows blocked. Thank you for your understanding! I work FT from home. I can work around your dog’s schedule! My own dog comes with me for many errands, and also stays home. She is not crated. Your dog can do the same or as you direct. Fenced dog park requires driving, non fenced park requires driving in cold weather. Otherwise, we will walk, leashed. Extended stays? Let's discuss whether your pet can go to our cabin 'up north.' My Independence yard is 4 acres, with woods, pond, and wildlife. Hanover is a regular lot, unfenced, with pond and trails. Our dog is allowed on our furniture but if you prefer not letting that habit creep in, we can enforce an "off" policy with our dog and yours. During winter, I prefer smaller dogs or dogs that can skip the park if it is very cold.
Reviews
KJ did it once again - welcomed our dog into her home and kept her busy and entertained. We're grateful for her flexibility and willingness to pick our dog up. ❤️
My dog boarded with Kj S for 10 days over the Christmas holiday. I received regular updates throughout her stay and she seemed happy and relaxed in Kj’s home. My little one loved playing with Kj’s dog, Bailey and Bailey was always gentle with my 9 lb pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kj again. My pup returned home happy, and she even smelled good!!
We initially did a Meet & Greet with K.J. and then it was all systems go for a play date! Our doggo was embraced as part of the family and had a fantastic day! We hope to book again with her sooner rather than later. ❤️
Great dog sitter. Will always prefer her to watch my dog. Thank you Kj!!!!

Safety, trust & environment
If your dog is not responsive to voice commands from me, Fido will be on a leash. I have removed ticks, tended cuts, and kept my own pets safe my whole life. I use Banfield as my vet service but for emergencies, we'll go to the closest emergency care. https://www.rover.com/scrapsbook/piper-stay-with-kj-may-25-2023/

Information Kj S. would like to know about your pet
I have a list of questions we will review concerning your pet's needs and wants, your rules, and your pet's abilities. I am looking forward to getting to know your pet.
A typical day
The Susan Burton dog park in Long Lake, the Luce Line trail, Pioneer Creek Park, and my backyard are the hot spots. If it's cold, then the trail behind my home is our main activity. In summer, my water dog friends can stand up paddleboard, kayak or get tennis balls from a local lake. I've also got a kiddie pool and sprinklers for hot days. Brushing and playing inside are also options if the weather is not cooperating.

Availability
My schedule accommodates my dog and my visiting dog friends with frequent romps outside and typically longer sessions in evening and weekends. I find brushing dogs relaxing and snuggling good for the soul.
