HUGE fenced in yard dogs love!

Pet care experience

Hello! We are a two child household with lots of dog sitting experience and a love for all dogs. Our children are comfortable and used to being around all kinds of dogs. Ample house space and HUGE 1.5 acre FENCED IN backyard available for your dog to feel happy to run and roam and you feel comfortable knowing they are safe! Available for daytime care, nights, overnights or extending periods. Walks, treats, and kisses will be plentiful--we will treat your dog as our own! About this sitter: Mid-30's couple, one teacher and one realtor, huge dog lovers, two young children, tons of dog sitting experience, nice house and large backyard space, will love your dog as our own! Why I love dog sitting We both grew up with dogs and have since rescued three of our own (who have all now passed on). We began dog sitting for friends and family over five years ago and fall in love with every dog that stays with us. We definitely treat other dogs as our own. About my yard Large yard-fenced in and we love spending time in the yard with the dogs.

Kristen and family are a true blessing! Pearl lived as a part of their family for 17 days. They took such good care of her I wasn’t sure she would come home with me. Couldn’t be more pleased with their care and love for my life companion.

Louie had the best time! He was off and playing with Kristen’s dogs the minute we got there and Kristen sent me pictures to show me a very happy Louie. Super responsive too. Will definitely use again.

Information Kristen H. would like to know about your pet

Typical lifestyle/schedule, i.e. very active, couch potato, etc. and how many hours they are home alone during the day. Additionally, how they get along with other dogs and if they have been reactive with other dogs in the past.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks- We would walk around the neighborhood--it is very quiet and dog-friendly. Your dog's sleeping arrangement- We would welcome and allow the dog would sleep on the bed. More realistically, on our couch or wherever he/she feels most comfortable. Time I'll spend with your Dog- We have flexible work schedules as we own our own business and can be flexible with time spent away from home. Our children are 6 and 7 so after school hours we spend time at home or working in our yard.
