Vacation for your dog!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm a 28-year old graduate student at CSU with a pretty flexible schedule. I would love to help you out with your pets - I am available to come to your home for anything from a short potty break or walk when you have a long day at work to extended care when you're out of town. My husband and I currently have one dog of our own but are typically a two-dog family, and we regularly foster dogs with Animal House Rescue. We've had over 20 foster dogs in the past 2.5 years! Given this, we have plenty of experience with dogs of all sorts of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and are used to caring for 2, 3, and sometimes even 4 dogs at once. I am flexible with pricing and conditions depending on your needs. **PLEASE NOTE FOR ALL REQUESTS TO SIT AT MY HOME: WE HAVE A CAT AND CHICKENS THAT FREE-RANGE IN OUR YARD. DUE TO RECENT ISSUES WE'VE HAD WITH CLIENTS' DOGS AND OUR OTHER PETS, WE ARE VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT WHICH DOGS WE WILL LET INTO OUR HOME AND WILL BE EXTREMELY HESITANT WITH ANY DOG OVER 1 YR/35LBS. I WILL WORK WITH YOU ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS TO DETERMINE WHETHER SITTING IN MY HOME OR YOURS IS BEST. KEEP IN MIND, MANY DOGS ARE MORE COMFORTABLE STAYING IN THEIR OWN HOME IN THEIR NORMAL ENVIRONMENT THAN GOING TO A STRANGER'S HOME, ANYWAY!**

Kristin was great! She was able to help us quickly when we were in a pinch and needed overnight care for our pup. She sent updates and left us feeing at ease. I highly recommend Kristin. :)

Kristen did a great job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away for a long weekend. She came often and exercised our pooch. He seemed very well-cared-for upon our return. We will hire Kristen again.

Kristen is responsible and dependable. She visited my dog at home and also brought him to her house--she was communicative throughout and I felt confident in her ability to care for my dog (who can be a bit overwhelming).

Information Kristen F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know a little about your dog: age, energy level, crate trained or not, and potty-trained status for puppies! Please note that I reserve the right to charge an addition $5/night for puppies that are not potty trained. I can be flexible with you on this depending on the dog- just let me know where yours is at.

A typical day

If I am taking care of your dog in your home, I will come ~3x/day (morning, early evening, late evening, at least 30 minutes per visit), ensuring no more than 12 hours alone overnight but usually much less time than that. I can take dogs on at least one 20-minute walk each day. I will also take care of cats, chickens, fish, or other animals if needed. I can get the mail, water plants, turn on/off lights, and ensure your entire home is taken care of and safe while you are away, not just the pets! Please note that I have my own pets so cannot stay overnight at your house.
