Life is better with a dog!

Hi! My name is Kristen and I absolutely love dogs of all kinds! I’ve lived with and cared for dogs my entire life. I’ve been a walker and sitter on Rover for 8 years now and truly enjoy supplementing my primary career in healthcare with this ultra-fun and rewarding side hustle.

Kristen and Patrick were so incredibly accommodating. My originally trip got canceled because of Covid! Our new trip then had flight times change and they were both so flexible about EVERYTHING! I got a lot of picture updates during my dog’s stay. He seemed so happy! I can not say enough good things. I will def go with Kristen again!

Kristen was a great sitter! She’s very responsive and easy to work with. She and her husband took great care of our puppy. She sent great updates and videos. We’d be happy to have Maggie stay with her again!

Kristen and Patrick took very good care of our dog Cassie. Cassie has diabetes and it has been hard to find boarding for a special needs dog. Kristen was very understanding to my concerns and was able to give Cassie the care she needed. Kristen sent lots of pictures and I could see how well Cassie was doing. I will certainly use Kristen and Patrick again for boarding for Cassie.

We are so grateful for having had Kristen and her husband Patrick and their sweet dog Jacquemo board our puppy Beau while we were away for a wedding. They are amazing with a huge heart and kind souls. They were both thoughtful and reliable, very responsible and attentive to details, sending photos and messages everyday. We truly appreciate their excellent care. We will definitely consider them in the future and highly recommend her if you are looking for a person to have your pet stay with while away.

Schedule

Recently, I’ve teamed up with my husband Patrick (who is also an avid dog-lover) to add dog boarding services to my roster. Patrick’s primary job affords him the ability to work from home so when we board dogs, at least one of us is able to be home with the pups at most times. I think this is a big advantage compared to some of the other boarding services that exist. You can rest assured that your pups will be truly catered to during their stay with us!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 2-story house with a medium sized, fully-fenced backyard. I have a 22lb terrier mix named Jacquemo who is friendly, but not very playful, so he mostly ignores other dogs. I allow dogs on the furniture and in bed if they so desire. My client’s pets are truly catered to during visits as I get to learn all about their preferences and specific needs so that our time together is enjoyable for them and not stressful for their owners. I also send a lot of pictures of your furry friends during visits.

Pets

A typical day

Walks in the neighborhood, gentle road runs, snuggling and lots of high-quality ear scratching and belly rubs. Backyard fetch sessions. Can also bring your pups to the dog park if they prefer.
