Loving Insured PetCare Professional

🐾 I only care for 2 families’ pups at a time so your pup can get the 1:1 attention they deserve 🐾 8+ years of professional pet care experience 🐾 Privately Insured for extra protection 🐾 Privacy Fence 🐾 Pet First Aid & CPR Certified 🐶My Care Style💗 I love Rover because it allows me to offer a home-away-from-home 🏡 This is my full-time career so your pet’s care, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Here, they are family! I pride myself on being reliable and responsive, sending daily photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, comfortable and well cared for. My own pup recently crossed the rainbow bridge, so being trusted with your furry family members means more than I can put into words. Having paws running through the house and dogs playing in the yard again brings so much joy and that love carries into the care I provide to all my furry guests. Dogs are welcome to cuddle on the couch and sleep where they’re most comfortable. Crates are only used if they’re part of your dog’s normal routine and will always be respected. My goal is to keep your pup’s stay familiar, calm, and as stress-free as possible - feeling less like a boarding experience and more like a vacation for them 🏝️ I have a large 6 foot privacy fence around my entire yard where your pups can play while being fully supervised at all times. I care for every dog as if they were my own, because nothing matters more than the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is truly in good hands.

Kristen did a great job with our dog Ollie. She’s a good communicator and took the time to play with him. We’ll definitely book with her again in the future.

Excellent communication, and our dogs came home tired and happy! I would definitely recommend her and would happily use her again.

First time using Rover. It’s always stressful leaving your pups with strangers for the first time. This sitting was a meet and greet for the day which I loved that they had. Kristen sent me pictures and kept me up to date on my pups. We really enjoyed the ease and comfort that Kristen provided Joy and Miles. I also loved that she only takes care of 2 pups at a time. This was great as I have 1 dog that is very skittish. We are booked for the end of the month. ♥️

Kristen was amazing. We got the cutest photos each day. This was the 1st time we used a pet sitter and she made it simple. Delilah was so calm and at ease when I picked her up.

Safety, trust & environment

🏡 Boarding & Doggy Daycare: I only host 2 families at a time to provide a calm, homestyle setting. I aim to keep your pups as close to their normal daily routine as possible so their stay feels like an extension of home. I have a fully fenced in backyard for pups to run & play in and plenty of indoor space for lounging & naps 💤 Whether your pup prefers to sleep in the living room or in their crate, I can accommodate it all. I have extensive experience with large dogs, senior dogs & puppies 🦮Walks: 30 or 60 minutes long! I’ll always check the sidewalk with the back of my hand before beginning a walk for heat level in this Florida sun. Poop bags and water provided! Safety first, fun is second! I’m used to strong, large dogs and always stay in full control of your pup. Guaranteed to get that extra energy out! Additional travel fee may apply to distances further than 5 miles away 🏠 🚗 Drop-in visits: I treat each home and pet with respect as if it were my own. Pets will be fed, clean water will be given and play time will be had! I love cats, as well! I’ll make sure your furry friends are all taken care of while you’re away. 🛡️ Fully Insured for Added Protection I carry private pet care insurance through Pet Care Insurance (PCI), a respected coverage provider for professional pet sitters. This extra layer of insurance allows you to feel confident knowing your pet is covered at all times.

A typical day

*PLEASE NOTE*: - All new boarding clients will require a trial doggy daycare/overnight stay before any extended bookings. This allows me to ensure they're a good fit for a safe and comfortable stay. - For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I'm unable to accept dogs who have severe separation anxiety, are not fully potty trained, or show signs of aggression. - Unneutered male fee is $45/night
