Availability

I work from home, so I can stay with the dogs during the day mostly. I can take them for walks or expend some energy with play time to fit their needs. I have had dogs boarded at my house any day of the week, Sunday through Monday. On the weekends we have more free time to visit a dog park, play, or run errands together. During the days, I can go to your place and feed and walk them in the comfort of their own home if needed as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure the pups bring their favorite toys over and I take time to play with them and show them love. I have a lot of green space around my apartment where I can take the dogs out to the bathroom or walks on a leash, a path by the water walking distance to take them on further walks if wanted, and a dog park in walking distance to play. If at the owner's house, I make sure the dog has fun in their comfort place, but I also make sure to leave just as clean as I found it. I can stay for a little bit and let the pup run around the yard if possible, or I can take them on walks in areas they know by home.

A typical day

I take the time to play with all dogs in my care. Their life is shorter than ours, so I want to make sure they have the best time possible!! We go on lots of walks, play with stuffies or balls, go to the dog park, and I ensure they get lots of pets!

Care & Love like a dog's 2nd home!

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs. They are my comfort place. Ever since I got a golden retriever at 10 years old, I've been in love. Now I care and love any dog in need of a friendly and homey place to stay while their dog owner is away. I have experience in extended time care for small dogs, like Yorkshire Terriers, Medium dogs, like Australian Shepherds or Pitbulls, and Large dogs, like Golden Retrievers. I also have experience training puppies and caring for older dogs, as well as dogs who take medication. I take pride in loving and caring for a dog like they are my own while under my care.

Had such a great experience with Kristen and Zack watching our pups while we were away for 2 weeks. They were so communicative and we knew our dogs were in great hands while we were away!

Kristen was amazing! My dog is sometimes anxious at first meets with people, and she’s a typical Aussie so is also chatty at times, and Kristen was so clam and confident with her that it was pretty much instant friendship. Kristen sent great updates throughout the week, and was incredibly respectful in the home. Will absolutely look to book with her again!

Kristen went above and beyond with my dog this weekend and I highly recommend her! She sent a ton of photos and I came home to a happy dog. I’ll definitely use her again!

Kristen was great with our dogs and watching our apartment while we were out of town! She was very communicative and sent lots of pics. We already have her booked for our next trip, would highly recommend!
