Wanted: lots of love and playtime?

You can rest assured no matter where you are, near or far, you can count on me providing a loving environment, whether in your home or mine. Your furbaby(ies) will get lots of love and attention. Whether you're here or traveling abroad your furbabies are safe and well provided for.

Kristen took very good care of our small dog during our trip out of the country for 10 days. She sent pictures and sweet comments. I would book with Kristen again in the future.

Kristen was a fantastic caretaker of Dixie! She went above and beyond with activities and keeping me informed throughout the weekend. This was my first Rover experience and I couldn’t have been happier! We look forward to reaching out again next time we need a sitter!

Kristen cared for my dog and two orphaned pups for two nights. I'm certain that all three dogs would say they had a 10 star experience. Kristen was careful to follow the schedule of the dogs and is a very loving and caring person. I am very grateful that it was Kristen watching over my pets. It was definitely a pleasure for my dogs.

Kristen treated Jaxon like he was part of the family! He probably had a better vacation than I did. We will definitely be using Kristen again if we are back in the area!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 14, 2026

Our pup totally enjoyed her day! She seemed so happy (and tired lol) when we picked her up. Luna was a great playmate! We got a ton of pics and videos to see how her day was going. Kristen was so very sweet to us and our furbaby. We know she was well cared for and will rebook here again 💜

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Personally, knowing from experience how hard it is to leave a pet in kennel style boarding with barking dogs all day. I'm a stay at home family, looking forward to making extra money while having a nice time together in a kind and loving home. I like to abide by routines to make your pups stay a fun experience that they will look forward to a return stay.
