Dogs are this SWr’s Self-Care

Pet care experience

My husband and I have had dogs in our lives since childhood. Dogs have always been a big part of my life and have always been a member of my family! I’m a social worker for my day-job and set my own schedule so my days are very flexible! When not out on appointments I’m working from home with my animals! My husband is also home every evening and on weekends. I previously fostered dogs through a local dog rescue and I loved it! It was an amazing experience. My husband and I now have 3 of our own, and they are all spoiled rotten, which they should be :) Our home and yard are set up to be as dog/cat friendly as they could possibly be. Very often we find ourselves spending evenings with the TV off as we just “enjoy the show” that’s going on in our home! Our pets are our fur-babies as we don’t have any children yet. You can expect your dog to be treated the same as mine while in our home! To be given love, attention, and the best care. We will also honor and respect the rules you have in your home for your dog while they are in our home as well. ***Dog Preferences*** We have been doing Rover for a while now and have determined the type of pups that mesh the best with our animals. We will accept dogs up to 25lbs, or over 25lbs if they are a shorter breed. Puppies also do extremely well in our home! We have a very high energy household that we love, but also acknowledge that it isn’t the best environment for dogs 10 and older. My husband and I realize that this will limit the pups we would be able to have the pleasure of hosting, but we want all animals to be comfortable and have a fun time!

Kristen and her husband were incredible sitters! They were accommodating, flexible, and kept in touch throughout the weekend. I would definitely recommend using them to watch your pup!

Kristen and her husband did a great job taking care of my puppy for his first time away from home. He had so much fun running around in their fenced in yard and playing with all of their dogs and cats. I could tell Kaipo was having a great time through all the pictures and updates Kristen sent. It definitely gave me peace of mind that he was doing alright?. I will definitely be using Kristen again if I ever need to go out of town!

Kirsten was a wonderful dog sitter. She is kind and they play with the dogs and make them feel at home.

Information Kristen C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what their temperament is like, if they get along well with other dogs/cats, and if there are any issues with potty training or if they have any chewing/destructive behaviors, just so I can be mindful of that when they are in my care!

A typical day

Fenced in yard to run and play! There are parks and lakes near my home that are dog friendly. My dogs like to go for car rides so if your dog enjoys that, we can do that too! In the summer we have a dog pool in the backyard, cooling mats for them to lay on and a big umbrella to shade the deck on a hot day (so they can stay out and enjoy being outside as long as they like)!
