Kristen took amazing care of my 2 golden doodles! She was attentive, loving and reliable! I booked her again immediately a few days later.

★★★★★ Highly Recommended! Our dog Reba had a wonderful time with Kristin and Jay. Reba has some vision challenges, so finding caregivers who are patient, attentive, and understanding is extremely important to us. Kristin and Jay went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable, safe, and loved. From the moment we met them, we knew Reba was in great hands. They provided a calm, caring environment and treated her like part of the family. It was obvious that they genuinely care about the dogs they watch and take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing Reba was receiving excellent care. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We would not hesitate to use Kristin and Jay again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of Reba! 🐾❤️

Kristen was AMAZING! She was so thoughtful in caring for our precious dog Islay over a holiday weekend. She was extremely responsive and sent daily updates too. She truly gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our trip. No doubt Islay loved spending time with Kristen’s family!! We were so blessed to have found her and will definitely be using her again in the future.

Kristen has been our primary dog sitter for years. My dog, Finn loves going to her house. It is dog friendly, with a big fenced in yard and friends to play with . Kristen and her husband are such dog lovers, they are kind and give so much attention to my dog. He truly feels at home. Most of all I NEVER WORRY about him when he is staying with Kristen. I am so grateful that she is able to take care of him when we go on vacation.
