Pet care experience

Endless cuddles and scratches!

My name is Kristen and my fiancée Matt and I have always grown up with pets. I had two cats when I was younger and he has had everything from sheep dogs to salamanders. Currently we have two cats (Thor and Oslo) and one dog a Beagle Dachshund mix (Calvin) who are besties and we love them more than anything! The best is when they all cuddle with us on the couch and even give each other a few licks! We have a fenced in yard and a screened in porch that Calvin romps around in whenever he wants. Our house is two levels so we do have stairs, which I know can sometimes be an issue for senior dogs. We encourage pets on the furniture and bed to give them lots of cuddles and love!

I felt so good about leaving Stella with Kristen & her pup Finn. Kristen sent photos & updates and Stella always looked right at home! Highly recommend.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 22, 2021

Kristen and Matt and their little Finn (terrier) were the perfect sitters for our Java (also terrier). Java stayed for the day and was worn out after 12 hours of fun. I definitely and highly recommend Kristen to care for your pet!!! We will use Kristen again when we are back in East Nashville.

Kristen and Matt took great care of our hound mix, Nala, when we were gone for over a week. They sent daily updates with photos and video and let me know about any unexpected quirks in Nala's behavior and care. I feel like I can trust them to be honest if anything were to go awry, and also trust that the chance of that is very low! Their little dog Finn is a sweet, gentle pup and got along great with our dog! I would definitely recommend these guys as sitters!

Schedule

We work from home full time so we are able to give lots of attention and potty breaks! Our pets often all hang with us in the office during the day. We let our pup out first thing when we wake up, after breakfast, and then as needed throughout the day. When it’s cool enough outside we like to enjoy an evening walk around our neighborhood.

Pets

A typical day

Normally we wake up and feed all the pets, take Calvin out to hang in the yard while we make coffee and get ready for work. Usually the pets hangout while we work from home and hang in our office with us. If it’s nice out we will go on a walk around the neighborhood after work. Then we spend the evening cuddling on the couch and we let pets sleep in our bed.
