Your dog(s) is my only dog(s)!

Pet care experience

*Note that I only board 1 family’s dog or dogs at a time to prevent any conflict- they will have my undivided attention* I have owned both dogs and cats my entire life. I am 40 now, was a paralegal for 15 years, then a mom, currently only have 2 cats, and miss dogs every single day. I will 100% treat your pet like they are my own.

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!

My pup had a great time with Kristel while we were gone. We have special feeding requests when it comes to our dog because she is a very picky eater. Kristel took great care of her for the week and we had no issues. My fight was delayed which caused a late pick up and Kristel was understanding and considerate. I would rebook and recommend her in the future!

A big plus for me is the communication. And Kristel texted me with updates and responded with quickness. My baby was happy when I picked her up. Thank you Kristel for being a good dog sitter for my Lulu.

My 9 month old pup stayed with Kristel for 4 nights and it went great! I was nervous about leaving my boy for the first time but i couldn’t have found a better sitter. Kristel was kind, had great communication, sent me photos which i loved but most importantly my dog seemed to love her and her family. In the future i will definitely have my boy stay with her again.

I have a large fenced in yard and live on a quiet dead end street that I walk up and down everyday! My 2 cats stay in my large finished basement while I am watching your pet! Your pet(s) will have the empty house to themselves. Also, I only board one family’s pets at a time!! They will have my undivided attention… and no possibility for disagreements amongst unfamiliar pets! :) I can crate your dog if you prefer, or they can roam my home like they own it while they’re there! If your pet enjoys only their own home, I would love to care for them in the comfort of their space while you’re away! I also offer drop-in visits or just dog walking!

Information Kristel A. would like to know about your pet

If your pet will be coming to me, let me know if they are good with a child! My 4 yo daughter LOVES animals. She is in school but would be home for part of the day. She gives extra cuddles! If your pets are in the upper range of the “large dog” category and you’re looking for boarding: trained big doggies are always welcomed! Let me know about anything in particular you think I should know about your pet before we meet, so I can accommodate them the best I can and make them feel at home. <3

A typical day

There are two parks within a short walking distance of my house and I also live on a quiet dead end street. I would love to let your dog explore the area on-leash with me while we get in some exercise together! I also have a large fenced in yard for them to get all their zoomies out! Inside the house we can either play games together or just cuddle. I’ll let your pet decide- either one is good with me! I have plenty of toys and treats for them!
