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.
Reviews
Kristen was great and Voodoo was well loved while in her care. She sent lots of great photos. Will definitely book her again.
Kristen did an amazing job boarding my Oscar for the first time. Lots of picture updates and treated him like royalty! He was so comfortable and happy I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home !
Kristen was excellent on her first walk Oscar. Thank you!
Kristen is an incredible dog walker who has a calm and patient approach that works great with my nervous rescue.

I have plenty of open space in my townhome for the dogs to run around and a drawer I designate as the doggie drawer when I watch pets. I ensure the pups bring their favorite toys over and I take time to play with them and show them love. I have a yard behind me where I can take the dogs out to the bathroom or walks on a leash, a wooded area in walking distance to take them on further walks if wanted, and a dog park in 10 minutes driving 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.

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.
