I currently work primarily from home. When I do go into the office, it's only for 1 - 2 days a week for approx. 4 - 6 hours. I have one child in university who lives at home currently and her schedule is such that she is home on the days that I may go into the office. So your pet will never be left alone. My son is also home in the evenings and on the weekends and is happy to help play, walk or support the dog/cat in any way that he can. I can pet-sit and do overnights anytime. I would prefer to have at least 3 days notice that you are wanting to book a stay though so I can plan accordingly. I am mostly a homebody and I love to go for long walks and hikes especially on the weekends when I have more time. Most days I usually take my dog for a walk in the morning for approx. 1 hour and then I usually take her out in the evening for approx. 1 hour walk. If your dog is up for it, they are more than welcome to join us. Throughout the day depending on the energy level of your dog I can also take several breaks to play with your furry friend. I have a large variety of pet toys and dog puzzles to keep your dog active and mentally stimulated. If your dog likes to just relax and snooze most of the day, there are quiet spots throughout my home that would give them the comfort and quiet they would like. There are no young kids in my home or cats that your pet might have to contend with. We live in a peaceful and quiet area with access to the outside whenever your dog might need it.

Safety, trust & environment
I understand the need for a safe environment for your pet. I require the same from anyone looking after my dog when I have had to go away. I understand the stress and anxiety that can come from leaving your furry family member with a stranger. I am happy to send picture(s) to you of your dog during their stay with me. I have found that this brought me peace when I had to leave my dog, it was important to have a visual of her happy face and I'm happy to provide you with the same! If you want to text about how your dog is doing, I can do that too. I will provide your pet with the same care and love that I give me own dog. I will be attentive to your dogs needs and will be happy to have them in my home. Your dog is welcome on the bed and sofa along with my dog (if that's ok with you). If you are crate training I am familiar with that and I am happy to continue with that routine as well. I also feel comfortable with dogs that are older and require medication throughout their day and perhaps a slower pace and with special needs dogs that may require a little more time and attention.

Information Kris A. would like to know about your pet
It's helpful for me to know your dog's routine, when do they like to eat? Is your dog crate trained? Is your dog taking any medication, if so when and how? Are there certain foods your dog cannot have (allergies, etc). Does your dog get along with others? Does your dog have separation anxiety? Is there something that you found works in supporting them around this? In general, any information you think would be beneficial to me as the caregiver for your fur baby while you are away, I would be happy to know. All pets have their own funny personalities and quirks and if you think that it would be helpful for me to know what those are so that I can give your pet the best care then please let me know. My goal is to give your pet the best stay that I can when they are with me and help them continue to be happy, loved and well cared for! If this is your first time booking on Rover EVER then please reach out to me and I can provide you with my PROMO code.
A typical day
Near my home I have fantastic dog parks (2 within walking distance and 1 that is a 5 minute drive away) that offer lots of room for running around and playing. Where I live there are many dogs of all shapes and sizes and your dog will have the opportunity to engage and play with the many dogs that live in my neighbourhood. The people here are extremely friendly and the vast majority of people if they don't already have their own pet are just happy to just say "hi" to the many wagging tails that they may encounter when out and about. I also live 5 - 7 minutes away from some great hiking trails that are not too challenging and I try to get out there and walk them 1 - 2 times a week.

Reviews Speak for Themselves ❤️
Pet care experience
I never ask clients to leave a review. I feel like the reviews that I receive are far more genuine and authentic when owners feel inclined to leave feedback on their own. It makes the reviews that I do receive far more meaningful to me and hopefully if you are considering reaching out to me for a booking you can read for yourself about all the happy owners I have worked with over the last few years. I do my best to make sure that all the dogs and cats I have looked after feel safe, happy and content while with me. I like to try and be their home away from home ❤️. If I’ve done that, then I have had a successful booking; for the owner/family and their pet. I grew up with all kinds of pets and feel comfortable and happy around animals. Dogs in particular bring me immense joy. The love and loyalty they give unconditionally sets them apart in my opinion. Besides growing up with pets, as an adult I have raised 2 dogs from a puppy and trained them into adulthood. I have also experienced looking after senior dogs and all that this entails. Currently I have my own small to medium-sized dog at home, she will be a companion to your dog when staying with us. She is super friendly and outgoing. My son and daughter are both in their late teens and are very responsible and each has taken dog training classes. Between the 3 of us, we think we offer a loving, caring home, filled with belly rubs, several walks a day (or one long one!) and maybe a few treats here and there (if allowed). I have had many repeat customers because when a pet returns home after their stay with me they are happy and healthy and owners can see that they have been well looked after. I have enjoyed the trusted relationships I have built with the dog owners I have met and worked with as well as their furry family members!

Reviews
Thank you so much for taking care of our guy! He enjoyed his time and had fun. Our Bear stayed 6 nights with Kris. Kris kept us updated with pictures and a message once a day, only one day was missed.
KRIS was kind, understanding, and an excellent communicator. Exactly what I needed with two routes of the young dogs. The walks and visits to the dog park were greatly appreciated.
Talon had an awesome time. Well taken care of. Kris kept me updated everyday and took lots of pictures. Definitely will request Kris when I need to go away again.
This was our first time using Rover. I was pretty nervous but Kris offered to do a meet and greet prior to committing which I really appreciated. She provides regular updates and photos and I felt our dog was well taken care of.
