Information Kristel A. would like to know about your pet

Your pet must be good with other (small) dogs!! Please do not request me if you’re unsure if they are good with them!! My Henry is a chiweenie and still under a year old and has a lotttt of energy. He LOVES other dogs and would play out in the yard for 8 hours if he could! Haha. We also have 2 cats but they stay downstairs in the finished basement while I have boarders staying here! I also need to know if they’ve ever shown any signs of aggression in the past! Food or toy aggression or otherwise! As I have a 6 year old that is my main concern. :) Pls be as honest and forthcoming as you can. Thank you!

A typical day

I would love to let your dog explore the area on-leash with me while we get in some exercise together! We have a huge fenced in backyard that the dogs love to run around and play fetch in. My 6 yr old also loves to play with the dogs as much as she can! Or if you prefer I can just walk them or let them out at your scheduled time request. Whatever you need!

Kristel's house has become a true vacation paradise for my pup! As repeat customers, we can't imagine leaving our furry friend in anyone else's care. Kristel is incredibly responsive and keeps us updated with frequent photo updates, which gives us peace of mind while we're away. Plus, her spacious yard allows my dog to roam freely and enjoy the great outdoors. We are already looking forward to re-booking with her in the future!

Kristel was absolutely amazing and accommodating! Daily pictures and updates were very comforting. Scooby loved staying with her and her family, it was like his own little vacation. She even sent Scooby home with a little goodie bag of treats. Will definitely rebook with Kristel without hesitation!
