Pet care experience

Bed & Breakfast for your baby 💕

I began dog sitting to make my own money when I was in the fifth grade. The first two dogs I used to sit with after school everyday were two cocker spaniel rescues that began my love and appreciation for rescuing my own pets ❤️. Here at home I have a 9 year old Chiweenie and a senior mini dachshund. I grew up with a Great Dane and used to house sit with two Dobermans, however, I prefer to open my home to small or medium dogs only to keep my babies comfortable 😊. I know how difficult it is to find safe and trusted care for your pet when you need to travel for work or take a vacation, and this is why I decided to open my home to your pets, so that you can have peace of mind that your dog will be treated like family while they are here. Reach out with any questions 😊. I look forward to hosting your baby ❤️

Kristen was great with our dog Rico. She was reliable, professional, caring, and reasonably priced. . Communication prior booking and throughout his stay was very prompt. We definitely would book again with her.

Another phenomenal job. Always handled with extreme care and due diligence. Kristen treats my buddy like he is family and I truly appreciate that.

Kristen is amazing with dogs. Sends me pictures takes him out to play and potty multiple times a day. You can tell she actually cares and has the experience from doing this for multiple years. I have used her twice and will be sure to use her EVERY time. Chester loves going there. And that matters most..

I was so glad that Kristen was able to care for Lilly at the last minute when her sitter canceled last minute and I was having surgery. She sent us pictures and updated us. She offered to keep her another night if I wasn't released. I will definitely use her again.

Kristen was absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of my pups. She sent me pics while I was away and they looked so happy. Highly recommended

Boomer had an amazing time with Kristen!!! We received pictures daily on Boomers progress. We feel very confident that we will be using Kristen for our Boarding when and if we need to leave town or have an emergency again. Her care of Boomer was amazing.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard that my dogs and other dogs I have boarded love!! I have a small home that will be available to your dog to free roam, my dogs love to lay on the couches and there are plenty of blankets for the littles that like to burrow 😊. I have experience in crating dogs for the evening but it is not a requirement to stay here.

Pets

A typical day

This depends on your pet! I have a spacious yard for your dog to run around and blow off steam. I also enjoy taking my dogs for walks around the neighborhood or at the local parks. I also like a couch potato dog (like my two 😉) to snuggle on the couch or in one of the 3 living room beds 😊

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or diet restrictions. I do have experience giving oral medications and I also have experience with special needs dogs, I owned a blind dachshund that passed away in August of 2025 😥🌈😇
